I just got finished cleaning up most of the mess from a wonderful night. I threw a dual birthday party for my friends Lauren and Grant. Here are oldish pictures of their beautiful faces:
We had homemade vegan pizza. It was the best vegan pizza I’ve ever had. Here’s the secret:
Screw the cheese.
Seriously. [...]
We all talk about buying local and organic and yada, yada, yada, but here’s a chance to vote with your dollars for good working conditions:
Don’t by Stemlit branch cherries. They treat their farmers like crap.
I had an idea recently for a wikipedia-like database of information about how good different foods and food companies are, health-wise, [...]
Lilly left a comment on my post about gourmet food asking what the alternative is. As far as I can tell…
It’s just eating stuff. Carrots, bananas, avocados, walnuts, tahini, blah blah blah blah blah. No preparation, no cooking, just clean the crud off that plant and chew on it!
Sounds appetizing, huh?
Well maybe [...]
I’ve been thinking a lot about the way we eat. Cuisine, I’ve noticed, is about creating well-balanced foods. We eat guacamole, which balances the sweetness of avocado, onion and tomato with the tasty fats in avocado and olive oil. It balances the tartness of lime with the saltiness from salt. It [...]
I’m at home, so I watch T.V. That seems to be the natural order of things. I’ve seen Jamie Oliver pull a tray of roast veg out of an outdoor oven about 20 times, each time just as super excited as the last.
Note to self: it doesn’t so much matter what you’re doing, [...]

Ecstasy.
At the vegan grocery store in San Diego, they sell raw vegan cheesecake. It’s really delicious, but it costs $5/slice. So I thought I’d try to make one myself.
I found what looked like a good recipe, and noted that I had to soak some cashews. 10 hours later, I took my newly soaked [...]

How did I go my whole life not knowing that you can eat corn raw and that it is delicious?
Also, the dance scene in New Haven? It is a little weird. Seriously, stripper moves?
I learned from Gramma…
Reading the paper is wonderful. It’s a big world, and what is better than talking politics in the morning with people you love?
I learned from my Mom…
Veganism is not a magic bullet. There are hard tradeoffs between being a steward of the environment, of our bodies, of our society, and [...]
