Ever met a person with whom you had one thing so much in common that almost all of your conversations revolved around that specific topic? Welcome to the relationship between me (Grace) and my roommate (Sara). For the past week (we've known each other for a week and a day) virtually all of our conversation has somehow meandered to the topic of food. Specifically vegetarian food. Homesickness (we are college freshmen) manifests itself in rhapsodic memories of favorite family recipes; fierce attempts at studying consitently crumble the moment one of us feels a craving for homemade hummus or suddenly recalls that interesting flavor combination (rice pudding flavored oatmeal anyone?) that she had to tell the other.
So, a little more about us. We're vegetarian, aspiring scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, who love the environment and belong to a living community specifically oriented around low-impact living. We've learned to use our low-flow toilets like pros (no clogs or overflowing for us!), we can take a shower in 10 min. or less, and we recycle or compost pretty much everything we can. The only difficulty we've faced in our college lives has been finding healthy, varied, and good-tasting vegetarian food. Our ambition is to make this blog a source of information for anyone (and especially students like us) who wants tips, motivation, and of course, recipes, all having to do with easy, delicious, environmentally-friendly vegetarian cooking.
