vacation veganism + easy Tomato-Cucumber Recipe

September 22, 2009

I believe you can also use it on the iPod Touch too, but unless you have paid internet service for it, it may only work sporadically (my nephew has an iPod Touch, and internet will work in free wi-fi zones-there are apps for finding those too BTW, iWiFi and Wi-Fi Finder are but two. In the link below, they say "Those with an iPhone have a slight advantage over touch users since the

app harnesses the GPS or cell phone signal to pinpoint your location

and pull in listings nearest your location.")http://vegdaily.com/2009/03/vegout-app-for-iphone-and-ipod-touch-has-us-hungry/And since this is a recipe list, I shoud probably also post a recipe to stay on topic. The other day, I made a salad from all the veggies I had in my garden -no measurements-just put in & toss. It's even something you could make while on vacation (just need a sharp knife & a bowl really, and of course a fork or spoon to eat it with)Fresh Herb, Tomato & Cucumber SaladCherry tomatoes, cut in half-I used a mix of Sweet 100's (red) and Sunsugar (orange/yellow), but any variety of tomato you have or like will do-very pretty with two colors thoughCucmbers, chopped- I used lemon cucumbers, but Armenians would be great too (if you only have the standard green ones, those'll work-just add a little bit of lemon juice to them because both Armenians and lemon cucumbers have

somewhat of a lemony flavor to them)Fresh herbs-chopped-whatever you have, but I used Basil, Oregano, Rosemary, Thyme, Parsley, Sage, TarragonFresh Garlic - 1-2 cloves, chopped (not from my garden, but it was of the local organic variety)Salt, to taste (I used RealSalt, which is locally produced in Utah)Toss together & enjoy! You can add anything else that you like to this-it's very versatile --- On Mon, 9/21/09, erin riley <rileysoprano wrote:erin riley <rileysopranoRe: vacation veganism Date: Monday, September 21, 2009, 6:07 PM

If anyone has an iPhone (I know it is somewhat of a luxury item, but after owning one, living without one would be tough!), there is an awesome app called VegOut from Happycow.net that finds all vegetarian, vegan, and 've-friendly eateries within so many miles from your location-I LOVE it and it really helped in San Francisco, San Diego, & Las Vegas this summer!On Sep 21, 2009, at 4:32 PM, Erin <rileysoprano@ > wrote:

Don't forget about useful websites like happycow.net, which are useful for finding veg-friendly restaurants, markets & whatnot all over the country.Even if you don't plan on cooking, it doesn't hurt to pack some shelf stable proteins like nuts or beans just in case you have difficulty finding decent vegan restaurants.Enjoy your trip!!-Erin Sent from my iPhoneOn Sep 21, 2009, at 2:18 PM, Norman Sussman <norm (AT) plateautel (DOT) net> wrote:

I realize that fruit is

universally available. That said, does anybody have any ideas relating

to how a fat-free vegan can survive when away from the home

environment? I'd love to go on vacation once in a while,

but......... ......... .......just eating fruit, although I would

survive, it won't be the same as the enjoyable variety that's possible

and usual at home. (We don't want to cook while on vacation). Maybe

that's just not possible.

I hope some of us will have some good answers to this vexing problem.
