Feeling the Love for Good Quality Traditional Organic Soy Products

2012-02-02T19:59:00.000-08:00

Talking w/ fellow foodies about soy these days creates a lot of divergent info bantered about confusingly. The soy fillers talked about w/ disdain in Food Inc. are not in the same category as the age old healthful and delicious soy foods, mostly Asian in origin, that remain a part of a body & taste bud nurturing wholesome diet. Organic soy sauce, tamari (100% soy sauce, wheat & therefore gluten free), miso, tofu & eda mame are all great sources of vegetable protein and phyto estrogens that are good for the body.

The Concept @Avanti

2011-01-21T18:02:00.000-08:00

The Concept @ Avanti

Here it comes. We’ve been hinting & planning & measuring a lot since late 2010 for The Concept. Want to hear it? Here it comes!

In preparation for our Avanti 6th B-day we are growing up and maturing into a real restaurant experience. In place of grab and go we’re going to put in a beautiful wooden bar w/ artisan beer on tap, much more sophisticated seating, elegant ambiance worthy of our sophisticated artistic handmade food.

We’re measuring out the bar layout now, planning a new menu to showcase our commitment to locally grown, organic, seasonal – Healthy & Delicious California International Cuisine.

We want all of our devoted Avanti fans & regulars to be part of the process as we grow into the new Avanti. You’ll find us blogging and posting our Concept musings on facebook & twitter. Make sure to weigh in w/ your thoughts and ideas for the menu, the space, The BEERS & more.

Next week, color samples are going to sprout on the walls so we can pick a culinary hue for the perfect dining mood. We’re toying w/ curry, paprika, butternut squash, mustard, saffron & more. *** There’s already some Jersey Shore drama w/ the designers that we can’t wait to explore. (I’m glad my hair is the shortest & hardest to grab & pull on) ***

Stay tuned for much more & do please share your thoughts w/ us. We want even the experience of change to be organic!

Not so Nutz for Coconutz

2010-03-02T18:22:00.000-08:00

When I was a child, I had a homemade cake and my family thought it would be a good idea to have a coconut cake for a child of 2, 3 or 4. It was a white cake w/ coconut flakes all over it. Ahhh, I still remember seeing it. That texture ruined it for me. But coconut curry or Piña Coladas work for me. And it’s the same for avocados – a texture thing. Guacamole, I can do. DT

Bananas, Bananas, Bananas

2010-02-23T17:38:00.000-08:00

The banana plant is not actually a tree. It is the world's largest herb, close cousins to lilies, orchids and palms. Like many wonders of the East, such as spices, silk, Algebra, and horned headed Mithras, the Western world owes it's introduction to bananas to Alexander the Great.
However, I was told this was wasn't a graduate thesis, so I'll get to the point.
Bananas….. Hate 'em.
I want to love them. I hear rumors that bananas are one of the tastiest things on the planet. The world's MVP of fruits. Hells bells, they even come in nature's perfect packaging.
But I can't do it. I can't eat banana anything. I wish I could. Whenever I order smoothies at juice bars, I tell them to hold the banana. The counter person always looks at me as if I'm insane and points out: "It's not going to be creamy if there's no banana in it."
"Yeah," I always respond. "I know. But I don't like bananas." "But--I don't--what's wrong with you?" They always huff as if I just told them their baby was kinda funny looking.
Back in the Rustbelt, I used to frequent a juice joint called "Liquid Planet." Out of their thirty two smoothie selections, only one was naturally made without bananas. And it was aptly titled: "The Mother to Be." I could never order it with a straight face.
That's why I make smoothies at home.
This has been a life long condition of mine. There was never a time that the banana and I were friends. Somewhere in the cluttered basement of my parent's house in Cleveland, Ohio, there is a dog eared copy of Dr. Seuss' "All About Me" that I filled out when I was five. Under the section of foods I don't like, BANANAS is scrawled boldly in black crayon. When unabashed carnivores find out I'm a vegan, their comments are usually pretty unoriginal. My personal favorite is: "So how come you're not skinny?" Because, you know, us vegans eat nothing but nuts and berries... My least favorite is: "Okay, so say you're stranded on a deserted island and there's nothing to eat but fish. Would you eat it then...?" At that point in the conversation, I usually remember that I left the oven on and have to rush home right away. But thinking about it in this context, I really hope there are some effing mango trees on this deserted island so many meat eaters are convinced I'm gonna wind up on one day. Because if all I got are bananas, I'm screwed.

-Meghan Louise Wagner

I Gave It The Dog

2010-02-21T15:12:00.000-08:00

‘Who wants to go for ice cream cones?’ No interest in that for this junior poindexter. There’s the flat bottomed cone melting soggy w/ its pressed sugar design & smell & disintegrating paper texture when the ice cream interacts w/ it on any Midwestern hot summer day & night. Sugar cones looked better but leaked steady from the bottom & held the scoop most precariously. If the scoop didn’t fall off right away, then each drip hinted at impending disaster. The scoop never just fell off, it always catapulted onto shirt, pants & shoes in evil trajectories. Nothing but one big mess. I contented myself w/ a quick lick around the edges before sharing the rest w/ black Labrador Mac. He was well suited to eat cones, with his self-cleaning fur coat & his ability to lick food off of any surface w/out contracting lockjaw. My ice cream epiphany occurred one day at a south suburban Dairy Queen reading the menu from the back seat of a two door cougar w/ an arm around Mr. Mac. What about this Banana Split? Three scoops of ice cream & three sauces – tried & true strawberry & chocolate & exotic pineapple too, all nestled between a split banana & served in a paper boat, w/ a Spoon. No looking back. After that, scenes of my tearful spotted peers attempting to finish a cone w/out catastrophe never dissuaded me from marching up to the window w/ confidence & order “One banana split please & a small vanilla cone for the dog!’ MC

Rockin' Granma!

2010-02-03T13:22:00.000-08:00

Allrighty...I get to be the first food phobia commentator.
My phobia goes back to my grandmothers kitchen. Usually people have warm fuzzy thoughts about grandmas and kitchens. But not me. My grannie's idea of cooking was boxed mac and cheese and canned veggies. Her veggie of choice was canned french cut green beans. Served warm out of the microwave w/ a generous dollop of margarine, or as we say in the south "Oleo". I didn't understand all canned veggies have that sort of gray, soft, mushy quality to them. Grandma never did take the time to find more delicious options for us. She was a busy lady- the only grandma I knew who worked. Plus she had way more important things to do like- gambling, smoking, cursing, and driving like a bat out of hell. I'll take that kind of grandma any day. It was definitely worth the torture of the green beans.
