Bacon on the radio
Because nothing tastes as good as living a as cruelty-free and environmentally responsible life as possible feels, EXCEPT EATING MEAT IT IS SO DELICIOUS.

Road Trip: Sweet Cakes
All I’ve wanted for a week, or I don’t know, a while, has been to make the banana bread in The Joy of Vegan Baking. (Here is a tip: toast nuts before you bake with them for richer and fuller flavors.) Then I made it on Saturday and the batter was delicious as ever but the bread turned out…not the way I wanted it to. Worse, the next day when I gave it a light toast and a healthy...

New Vegan Marshmallows! And shoes! Woo!
So apparently there are new vegan marshmallows called Dandies from the mad geniuses at Chicago Soy Dairy. And apparently they’re quite good. We’re waiting for our shipment in the mail but have heard nothing but vegans FREAKING OUT for them. Anyone tried them yet?? Opinions?? I know you got ‘em!
Edit: the brilliant and fantastic Quarrygirl.com review of Dandies can be seen here....

“This is a slam-dunk to say that, ‘Yes, indeed, if people want to be...”
– A piece of cow a day WILL SEND YOU TO AN EARLY GRAVE
Of course the interpreters of the study go on to recommend eating “white meat” as a substitute; it’s important to make sure people do not conclude that eating zero meat might be the best choice. That’s crazy-talk, and...

Burma Superstar!
Burma Superstar: You either love it, or you refuse to put up with it because of the ridonkulous wait*. I love it, I can’t help it. I’m a glutton for food you must fight for. And all other food too. Burma Superstar I love so much that it’s usually the first place I take out-of-towners and it’s always the favorite. In fact, I have a friend who went three times on her last...

Kasa!
I don’t understand why it is so fucking hard for a restaurant to stay open late in San Francisco. If you’re out past 10 p.m. and you want something other than a slice of pizza or a burrito, you’re screwed. I think our own Maria puts it best when she says:
In particular, the Castro can be a nightmare for late-night dining. There are a lot of bars and a lot of clubs and they...

Other Avenues! Also, FAT PEOPLE RULE!
Other Avenues co-op grocery is second only to Rainbow and that’s just because Rainbow is a lot bigger and a lot less in the middle of fucking nowhere. Other Avenues is an all-vegetarian (yay!), all-organic (yay!) grocery store in the Outer Sunset. It’s a pain the ass to get to but if you happen to be out near Ocean Beach soaking in the rays (read: getting high) then you should...

Hot Cookie!
Not much vegan on the menu at Hot Cookie, the Gayest Cookie Nook on Earth. Actually, there is only one vegan item that I know of and that is the ginger cookie. But these cookies are so good, they warrant their own post. They are not ginger snaps, they’re more like doughy ginger clouds of chewy deliciousness. The Hot Cookie owners also have big hearts, they always donates cookies to Rocket...

Friday Odds & Ends
Your Vegansaurus spends a lot of time reading the internet. Today, we share with you some sites we’ve been enjoying of late.
Especially for the gentlemen, we present The Discerning Brute. Joshua Katcher created this site as “a resource for intelligent men who want to make ethical, informed decisions concerning their lifestyles.” It’s really great, especially the delightful...

Recipe: Chia Seed Gravy!
Recognizable to most of us only from (AMAZING) infomercials past (CH-CH-CH-CHIA!), chia seeds are actually God’s Gift. And that’s not just me talkin’ crazy, that’s also William Anderson, author of, “Chia Seed - The Ancient Food of the Future” In this article he claims that chia supports healthy heart function, joint mobility, immune function, cellular energy,...

Product Review: Silk Soy Creamer
I love my coffee. I love my coffee more than any other warm beverage that ever was, and that is all right: it is counteracting the effects of my occasional use of aluminum-ful antiperspirant; I am NEVER GETTING ALZHEIMER’S AND WILL BE SHARP-MINDED FOREVER. Science SAYS SO. Once upon a time I was employed at an office where work started at 7 a.m., and I would spend all morning drinking black...

Underdog!
So after a long, hard workout with an extremely motivating taskmaster (that sound like I had sex for hours and was paid for it but sadly, it was really just an intense workout. In a gym.), I had to gorge myself on something not totally terrible for me but still delicious that was less than 2 minutes from the gym because FUCKING A I WAS STARVING. So I decided to try Underdog, an all-organic...

Farm Fresh to You
God in heaven, I’ve spent maybe 10 minutes looking at This Is Why You’re Fat, the most disgusting and shamefully salivary-gland-activating food porn site I’ve come across in a while, and now I’m starving for nourishment only fresh produce can provide. When I was an office lady 40 hours a week, back in the golden days of 2007, Farm Fresh to You delivered a box of produce to...
