Beets aren't a favorite of mine, but I do like them raw — especially golden beets.<br /><br />Mo,<br />I wish I'd taken MORE pictures. I always get shy when it comes to taking pictures of people. And I hate having pictures taken of me.

I wish you could have come to Portland for VVC — maybe next time!<br /><br />Ricki,<br />None of us are lying or exaggerating, either. And, yes, my ticket was indeed paid for by Wellsphere in exchange for posting about the conference — a pretty fair exchange, don't you think? <br /><br />vegangelicals,<br />The post was all the more colorful thanks to you two. And more fun! I sent the photo to your contact address on your blog.

And I'm agape that your ticket was sponsored by Wellsphere--who knew??

I thought of you while I was there, thinking how great it would be if you could have come. I don't know where it will be held, but in 2013 you must try to come! We can get some tats together. :) <br /><br />Anytime you want to crash the blogger party — or any party in Seattle — just let me know!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146578985330272891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-20623056122911715642011-09-01T06:51:02.352-07:002011-09-01T06:51:02.352-07:00If you weren't such a wonderful, lovable perso...If you weren't such a wonderful, lovable person who deserves all the good things that come your way, I would be gnashing my teeth with jealousy over your amazing Vida Vegan Con adventure! Just getting to go to Portland would be enough, but the swag, meeting those vegan bloggers, and all that phenomenal food - I want to be you!!! :-)<br /><br />Those tats are really something, and I'm swiping your stuffed portobello on polenta dish and fighting Molly for the beetburger. Oh, and you can consider that Ginger Rawgers (cute!) cocktail history too. ;-) It's all so tantalizing and fun and fantastic, I'm so glad they put on such a great event and that you got to go! Thanks for sharing Day 1 with us, can't wait for the next installment!<br /><br />(And don't think I'm not going to be eavesdropping on conversations between you and Rose about the Seattle blogger meetup that's being planned - I might just have to crash that party!) :-)Laloofahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07256023593175821427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279822094292237889.post-10990158745798160902011-08-31T11:06:09.766-07:002011-08-31T11:06:09.766-07:00Oh that gnocchi.

There is a Seattle vegan blogger meetup in the planning stages, if you're interested — just local, I'm afraid.<br /><br />p.s. I posted the tiramisu.

I hope I recover soon. :)<br /><br />Rose,<br />Portland does seem to have a lot of vegan food and "other" things going. And vegans on every corner. But Seattle isn't far behind. I think Sidecar is just as good as Food Fight, but an Herbivore would be nice. And maybe Homegrown Smoker and Native Bowl food carts. And Blossoming Lotus. And ... Sigh. <br /><br />Foodfeud,<br />The mocktail was perfect — gingery to the max and so delicious. I remember that you tested recipes, too. Dynise is extremely nice, and she lives in my hometown!<br /><br />Belinda,<br />I'll take another look at the tiramisu pic and see if I can print it. I've never had non-vegan tiramisu so I can't compare, but my one forkful taste was perfection.
