Feel free to repost this. It's a press release from my friends who are starting the first organic vegan food truck!

Our Vegan Organic food truck, The Cinnamon Snail is hitting the streets for the first time…
..ON VALENTINES DAY! (Sunday, February 14, 2010)

We will have a variety of special Valentines treats available, and we will be giving away free vegan donuts to our first 100 customers! The truck will be located in Hoboken NJ starting at 9:00 A.M. and leaving at 3:00.

So how will we normally operate?
Every weekday Monday – Friday 9:00 A.M. – 3:00 P.M. in Hoboken NJ
(We are working full tilt on obtaining permits for Brooklyn too)

From 9:00-11:00 we will be serving a fully awesome vegan breakfast / brunch EVERY DAY! This will include things like breakfast burritos, raw as well as fresh baked granolas with live nut milks, smoothies, donuts, breakfast platters of pancakes, scrambled tofu and roasted yams, and a lot of other good things.

Then 11:00-3:00 we will be serving an absolutely ridiculous lunch. Most items are totally dinner worthy too. Some options are: Apple cider glazed tempeh with matchstick fried parsnips over marinated kale and, rosemary root vegetable puree, and: Smokey portabello carpaccio on semolina fennel bread with kalamata olive tapenade, arugula and capers. There will be raw, cooked, and macrobiotic options available every day.

We are making the menu one that evolves and changes seasonally to follow fresh, local produce as much as possible. We will have weekly specials, daily soups, and always a changing selection of pastries and desserts in our display case (cooked, and raw).

Many of the most popular pick up items from over the last three years will be worked into the menu, but there are some really exciting new ones for you to fall in love with!

For all you folks in Monmouth County, I promise I am not abandoning you! I love you folks all and appreciate all your support and encouragement over the past three years. Here's how our new service will work for you (if you don't feel like visiting us up North):

You will now be able to place your order by email, phone or text message!
Orders can be placed the day of pick up, Monday – Friday.
You can place your order as early in the day as you like.
If you want breakfast items off the truck, please have your order in before 11:00.
Please have all orders in by 2:00 at the latest.
If you place an order by text or email you will receive a confirmation, letting you know I successfully got your order and am making it, or letting you know if we are sold out of any of your items (it may happen sometimes, sorry).
Pick up will be from 4:30-6:00 P.M. back in Red Bank at 150 Chestnut Street.



This is one short week for me to get out the word about our truck. We need all the help we can get about that. If you have a blog, write for a publication, or have friends who might be interested in writing about our truck, please ask for a press release. I am sending press releases out this weekend, which will include some nice photographs and everything needed to inform your readers. This is going to be a big deal. As it turns out this will be the country's FIRST fully Vegan Organic food truck! Help us put gourmet, non-violent goodness on the front page where it belongs!

Poor Bronx was living in a pile of garbage in NYC for an unknown time before Tabby's Place rescued him. He was dirty and seems to have some chemical burns on his legs. He also has cerebellar hypoplasia.

We are sending out Holiday cards. Which Holiday it will be is the surprise!

If you would like a Holiday card, you can give me your address here or PM me or send me an email at Jesskathand@gmail.com

It's this: https://twitter.com/Jesskathand

If anyone wants to follow me or wants me to follow them, go for it! It seems simple enough, but boring. I don't get what the big deal is.

It's been a while since I wrote one of these.

So I got Google Wave. I have 4 invitations left. Anyone want any? Anyone have googlewave?

I don't really get it. There are 5 people on my list and I'm not sure what interesting things I should be doing with these people?

Also, we have no snow yet. It was supposed to start two hours ago. We are apparently getting anywhere from 1 inch to 12 inches.

Buster has HCM, you can read about it here: http://dsl.org/hcm/

Basically, the walls of the heart become enlarged and create issues leading to heart failure. There is no cure, just meds to slow it down.

Dr. C says its mild and should just be checked up every 6 months to make sure it doesn't get worse. He doesn't need meds now but he may in the future. There is a chance it may never get worse.

I was on the radio today, if you want to listen to the ridiculous-ness, I'm in the first four clips on this page: http://themorningblend887.blogspot.com/

From Matt's Photoblog: http://handicus.blogspot.com/

I'm so tired but my allergies are blocking up my nose and I was trying to just breathe through my mouth and then the sneezing started......oh its been a rough night haha

I left the bedroom to drink some emergen-C, that usually helps. Of course I'm also hanging out with cats, which seems to be the reason for the allergies. I feel better when I'm out, either outside or at someone else's house. Someone else that doesn't have six cats usually.

I need to keep up with drinking emergen-C and nettle tea. I drink this stuff when my allergies are bothering me, then I feel better and don't think to drink it. Then my allergies bother me again....

First off, they have fleas. I tried this herbal stuff, but we are still infested and my homeopathic vet said that Frontline or Revolution is the only way to really kill them all. Them all being the fleas....

Kale is doing better. He was vomiting up his food a lot a few months ago and he was given a remedy at the vet. We are monitoring his vomit, so far its been once a month. If it gets closer to weekly, then I call the vet back.

Snoopy and Buster came to work with me on Monday to get their teeth cleaned. Snoopy had one bad tooth removed, and one of his molars looks like it is getting bad. If I want to save the tooth, I gotta start brushing his teeth. Snoopy usually lets me do whatever I want so that's not a big deal.

Buster did not get a dental because the vet detected a heart murmur.....Could be nothing, could be a big deal. Also his thyroid seemed a bit off. We are running bloodwork and getting him an ultrasound to see what's going on. He's only six years old.

Arwyn, Mariska, and Rain are doing well, except for the fleas. and they will be gone soon.

When Matt and I were first dating a million years ago, he had a book made with pictures of us with captions written by him. It was the sweetest gift ever!

None. Well except Harry Potter, those are them devil books.

something homemade, like your mom

I voted Libertarian today for NJ's governor. News is projecting Republican Christie the winner. I hope its not true and I wonder if I should have voted for Corzine....

I'm so tired but I felt the need to relax tonight after Des fell asleep. I'm drinking a beer and eating some birthday cake. It's from yesterday, not two weeks ago. We celebrated yesterday at work so yay cake! It's kind of like when I turned 21 and I celebrated for a year.

We did a lot today. We went to to Montclair for dr. appt for Des and me. Des is awesome, I need to find a therapist. I need to make a chiro appointment as well. We went to Veggie Heaven for lunch which was delicious. Desmond licked his rice off the table. He had fun. We went to the library and played in the children's part of it for over an hour. I finally got a library card and took out the Gunslinger. I started reading about 10 pages.

Back to the Governor's race...I think its funny that during the World Series games, there are a million baseball updates but on election day, there are only a handful of election updates.

One of my favorite cats at Tabby's Place passed away today.....I feel like a jerk because I haven't visited her in a while. I was going to yesterday but I decided not to....

RIP Sweet Nicky

My sister adopted Zac's brother, Taylor. He is now named Ninja!
