so...how do you clean your mushrooms, if you do so at all?

Vincent Guihan said...

Thanks, stonielove! I have a short attention span. I'm always fiddling.

Vincent Guihan said...

Pinknest, it depends on the mushroom. If it's just a regular button mushroom, I'll usually give them a quick rinse if I'm in a hurry. If it's something more exotic, I'll wipe them clean with a cloth.

pretty tasty looking but is it enough food or do you eat seconds and then thirds?

Beautiful food Vincent. It all looks delicious.
I have just read your letters on other blog and found them very interesting, and well written. (Especially the Canadian by choice one, and African debt one)
I am not Vegan but your food could sway me from the pictures alone.

I usually eat seconds. When I'm photographing, it's always staged. Sometimes the amount is what I'm actually eating (usually when there are a couple of courses). Most of the time, it's just a dainty portion to avoid crowding the plate.

Vincent Guihan said...

Thanks, Melinda. You should definitely go for it! Vegan food tastes as good as it looks.

I haven't had portabellos in a long time. Well, it's grilling season (can you tell I'm jumping up and down after the first nice weather weekend? Us northeners are so deprived...) so bring on the mushrooms!

Oh, to answer your question, I haven't blogged about my writing. I've actually surprised myself- when I first started the blog, I thought it would be much more heterogenous, but I've stuck pretty close to food. Who knows why?

Vincent Guihan said...

I'm glad spring finally seems to be here, too. I like portabellos -- they're easy to handle and they look and taste good.

Food is pretty central to life when you're a vegan, I think. I actually pruned my blog when I decided to go all food and post regularly a couple of months ago. Before I had a bunch of crackpot letters, philosophical and political musings and other stuff that I had posted.

Although I tend not to talk about my work on my blog either come to think of it. But I think in my case, it's just because I'm too lazy. :) That, and my work really wouldn't make a lot of sense to a wide enough audience to make posting for comments worthwhile.

i fall over for portabello mushrooms!

Vincent Guihan said...

I've never lost my balance eating one, but I'm usually sitting down at the time. :)
