I have no idea what number this is, I have done at least half a dozen since I started DC Vegan several years ago.

google web fonts

A new feature of HTML 5 is the ability to use web fonts. These are fonts that you would not typically see on a website unless it was maybe a graphic. Google just release there own Fonts API so that anyone can easily use fancy fonts on their website, all you have to do is install a little snipit of code in your webpage and edit your style sheet. I am currently using the font “Bennie” for the title of my website. You can check out more fonts here.

Vegan “Eggs” Benedict

timothy — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 22:43:31 +0000

The other day I made Vegan “Eggs” Benedict, they were so freakin delicious I wanted to share the recipe, so here it is! Recipe is from ChooseVeg.com. Also pictured scrambled tofu and a grapefruit.

1 lb. extra firm tofu
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 cup olive oil
4 Tbsp. nondairy margarine
8 oz. nondairy sour cream (try Tofutti brand—www.tofutti.com)
1 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
Pinch of cayenne
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
4 vegan English muffins, toasted (or 8 slices of toast)
8 slices of faux Canadian bacon (try Yves brand—www.yves.com)
8 slices of tomato

Preheat the oven to 450ºF. Drain the tofu, cut it into 8 slices, and arrange it in a single layer in an oiled 9″x13″ baking dish.

In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, salt, and olive oil and pour the mixture over the tofu. Bake the tofu for 20 minutes, basting it occasionally and turning it over after 10 minutes. Pour off any excess liquid and bake the tofu for a few more minutes–until it is brown and crispy.

To make the hollandaise sauce, melt the nondairy margarine in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the nondairy sour cream, paprika, nutmeg, cayenne, and lemon juice. Make sure that the mixture is heated through but don’t allow it to boil.

Top each English muffin half or slice of toast with a slice of tofu, Canadian “bacon,” and tomato, and a generous spoonful of hollandaise sauce. Serve immediately.

This is the second version of the DC Vegan Drinks logo, this one is a little cleaner than the first one. The colors are pretty much the same, I darkened the glass a little and used new fonts.
