Adopt a Giants-loving kitty for $9!
Even though the Giants totally blow and the Phillies have a way better typeface, I am happy to report that the Peninsula Humane Society and SPCA in exotic San Mateo is having a special adoption rate for kitties with the Giant’s team colors. That RULES! Just like when the Philadelphia Flyers did this four months ago. So even though the Giants are going down, this is an excellent time to get a...

Keep reveals the final Animal Collective shoe!...
Hello, sailor! Your friend Megan Rascal is in love. Ew, no! Not with a person! Gross! I’m in love with the final shoe from the Keep and Animal Collective Collection. The Ramos, by Panda Bear!:
Dudes, this shoe is the hotness. This is officially my favorite of the whole collection. Like, you can tell the authorities. Cut, print, dishes are done!

Want to be a more awesome vegan? Stop wasting...
I confess: I am a chronic food waster. I go to the grocery store, the farmer’s market, the co-op with the best intentions. I plan out healthy, cost-effective meals, reuse my containers for bulk purchases, bring my own bags, and check out feeling smugly superior—I can’t help that: I am vegan. It ends, though, when my week gets crazy and instead of produce, I eat ramen and/or...

More magical fish, cockfighting in California,...
These are portraits of donkeys at Donegal Donkey Sanctuary by artist Julia Feliz, a member of Etsy for Animals. Read about her work at the sanctuary and her efforts to raise funds and encourage others to volunteer at their local sanctuaries—she’s great.
There’s a new magic fish in town! Not a SuperSalmon, no; this one is the barramundi, a near-vegetarian (har) that produces...

The Unlikely Vegan: Steve-O on the veganness of...
I’m not sure how familiar Vegansaurus readers are with Steve-O or the whole Jackass scene, but I was recently initiated when my husband forced me to watch Wildboyz on Netflix instant. While I’m still pretty conflicted about that show, I was rather delighted to read an interview with one of its stars, Steve-O, today in Vanity Fair.
Steve-O, I learned, is not only vegan but considers...

Interview: Jessie Williams of Eat Pastry Cookie...
We love Eat Pastry Cookie Dough. We fucking looooooove it. It’s amazing out of the tub, it’s amazing baked up, and it’s amaaaazing mixed into ice cream. It’s at Rainbow and Whole Foods and you need to buy it and eat it all the time DO IT. We also love Jessie and Alfredo, the two fabulous pastry chefs behind it. They are obviously both geniuses and one day will probably have...

Try going out on Sunday, for once: Southern Ramen...
What are you doing on Sunday night, pals? We’ve got an idea: Southern Ramen and Blues, a “temporary food happening” (translation: “one-time-only dinner”) at Gravel and Gold in the Mission!
Don’t even pretend that menu doesn’t make you hungry. Potlikker, black-eyed peas (another legume superfriend!), greens, hotsauce, chowchow, and pickles? Come on! Plus...

Keep ups the ante! Animal Collective's Ramos soon...
If you can remember all the way back to Monday (lush), you may recall the kids’ Ramos by Geologist, the latest addition to the Keep and Animal Collective collaboration. Well guess what?! People were all like, “Screw the children’s, I want a pair!” And Keep has delivered: the Ramos by Geologist will soon come in adult sizes. She-bangs! (That’s going to be my new...

Mint Chocolate Cookie at Arizmendi Bakery on...
GET IT. NOW. It is seriously the best thing I’ve eaten in several weeks and I can eat. I mean, I’ve eaten a slice of pizza since I started this sentence. This is a different recipe than the vegan mint chocolate cookie at the Arizmendi on 9th Avenue and it’s SO MUCH FUCKING BETTER. It’s like the cookie evolved from an pre-oxygen anaerobic life form to Bill Murray (Truly...

Wild kangaroo is "green" meat; obviously we should...
New Scientist magazine has a vegetarian, Wendy Zukerman, take an “in-depth” look at the argument for eating kangaroo. Turns out it’s the same argument these kangaroo-pushing Australians keep making: “We already shoot just oodles of kangaroos all the time, they’re such terrible pests you know, and cooked right the meat is absolutely delicious! It’s so lean!...

Half-product review, half-recipe, it's vegetable...
Hey y’all, guess what I made?! READ THE DAMN TITLE! I made vegetable soup with dumplings. I totally made the soup just so I could make dumplings with it because dumplingness is next to godliness in Rascaltown. Gooey outsides with doughy insides, it’s some next-level shit and I’m ‘bout it.
I’m at my parents’ so I was basically just hunting and gathering in...
