Taste Test! What's the Best Vegan Turkey...
This photo is from the WaPo.
You know what I’m pissed about? That no one invited ME to participate in this taste test the Washington Post ran, comparing six un-turkey alternatives you could be having at your table this week, or whenever else you feel the need for turkey alternatives.
Spoiler alert: Tofurky and Field Roast won. By a lot. They’re my favs, especially Field Roast...

Recipe: Lettuce wraps for your mouth
Any of y’all ever go to P.F. Chang’s? It was my favorite restaurant when I was but a wee teenager in Indianapolis, and one of the yummiest menu items was the vegetarian lettuce wraps. I found myself craving these this weekend, but the nearest Chang’s is on the other side of the bay, so I decided to try to make some instead. Even though I used the “wrong” kind of...

Really? Feather fur extensions for dogs? They are...
Welcome to yet another travesty in American culture: Puppylocks. They are feather fur extensions for dogs. Feather fucking fur extensions for dogs. The world is a crazy place. It’s bad enough that people wear feather extensions, now their dogs have to? I find it completely offensive, like, towards life in general. I think it’s super whack and corny but I know that people think...

Time traveling back to Thanksgiving 2010.
Let’s do the time warp again! Remember this little number? It’s my version of a recipe that this very blog posted from another blog last year. It’s a butternut squash and mushroom tart from The Tomato Tart! See everyone? I’m not all about fake turkeys and worrisome ingredients. I know how to cook dishes from whole foods (as in ingredients, not the store). That being said,...

Product Review: VegeUSA Vegan Whole Turkey!
(I know this post is very Christmas-y, but basically I eat the same-ish meal for both Thanksgiving and Christmas, so of course I assume everyone else does the same!)
Last Christmas, I went all out and treated myself to a Vegetarian Plus Vegan Whole Turkey. I was super curious after seeing the ads in VegNews. Now, I’m a Tofukery fan — I like it, but I’m not in love. I’m...

A girl and her dolphin!
My parents are in London at the moment, visiting my cousin and his sweetie pie little daughters, Sophia and Joanna. Turns out, Sophia has taken a shine to the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society and adopted her own dolphin! I asked her to write a little bit about the WDCS and she was kind enough to oblige!:
I became interested in WDCS when I was reading my nature magazine (National...
