PURPLE

Thursday, October 20, 2011Spirit Day LGBT, Enforced Arch

In honor of “Spirit Day” IT GETS BETTER is  encouraging their hundreds of thousands of supporters online—like you—to join the millions wearing purple in support of LGBT youth. (source)

Stand with LGBT youth by wearing purple for Spirit Day on Thursday, October 20, 2011 then spread the word by emailing your friends, tweeting about #SpiritDay and posting to facebook.

What is Spirit Day? (via GLAAD)

Millions of Americans wear purple on Spirit Day as a sign of support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth and to speak out against bullying. Spirit Day was started in 2010 by teenager Brittany McMillan as a response to the young people who had taken their own lives. Observed annually on October 20, individuals, schools, organizations, corporations, media professionals and celebrities wear purple, which symbolizes spirit on the rainbow flag. Getting involved is easy -- participants are asked to simply "go purple" on October 20.

Crepe, Paris Vegan Day, Enforced Arch

During the Vegan Paris Day Festival at La Bellevilloise my friend and Chef Jacquelyn Scaduto taught me how to prepare my own French Crepe!

Prior to the event she prepared the crepe mixture, which at the moment is a secret recipe, otherwise I'd gladly share. After pouring approx. a cup of batter on the Crepe Maker I used the ladle to smooth it over as it grew pockets of air that you can see in the first image on the left. After which I  flipped it by sliding an icing  spatula under the center, curling the opposite corner toward the pan and rolling it back onto the other side. This allowed me to evenly brown the crepe on both sides.

Once the crepe was evenly cooked I added Vegusto cheese, Vegusto Deli Slices, mushrooms, caramelized onions & fresh spinach! Once the cheese melts you fold the crepe in half and voila, you have a beautiful lunch!

The crepe was tender to the bite and the Vegusto cheese really added the creaminess I expect from a meal like this!

I went back for seconds, only this time it was a dessert with organic chocolate chips & strawberries!

Carly Fox Horton, Tracey Katof, James Koroni, Enforced Arch After a 6 hour flight from New York City, Carly Fox Horton & Tracey Katof joined me in Paris! Although it was a Red-eye flight, they felt excited to explore the city. Our dear friend, Celine Orang from Creadanse donated space for us to rehearse in later that evening so we left a little early to do some sightseeing! Fortunately our apartment at The Gentle Gourmet is in a beautiful neighborhood just minutes from L'Arc De Triumph so we popped over to snap a photo!

After we finished up there, it took just under an hour to arrive to the space where Celine greeted us. After two hours of rehearsal we felt plenty prepared to perform the following night at La Bellevilloise for Vegan Paris Day!

Smörgåsbord 1After hearing so much about the Parisian Loving Hut's delightful selection of vegan goodies, I took a trip there to get my hands on Chocolate Croissants, Fine Cheeses & Vegetable based proteins. Later that evening, dinner with Joshua Katcher turned out to be a feast like no other! I loved everything but I will say that the Chocolate Croissants we're flaky & chocolaty, fulfilling all my wildest dreams! choc croissants     white chocolate
