Make vegan candy corn! DO IT TO IT. And then send us all your extras. That probably means we’re not getting anything in the mail, doesn’t it? It’s okay, just know, that if you don’t, as soon as I’m dead, I will be haunting all of your candy-corn-hoarding asses. BELIEVE IN THAT, MOTHERTRUCKERS.

What is this we have here? It’s a squash blossom quesadilla from Cadry’s Kitchen! The queso is made with cauliflower and white beans—how interesting! I know what I’m making for dinner tonight. I don’t know what squash blossoms are, but I’m determined to find them (or just use spinach, as Cadry suggests). I want all the vegan queso this world has to offer (with more ideas of what to make with it). Thanks, Cadry!

It’s not too early to start planning what you’re making for your Labor Day party this Monday, right? RIGHT. I vote this raw nectarine and cardamon cream tart from Oh, Ladycakes!
Raw dessert is basically negative calories, being made of fruit and nuts. Make sure you tell everyone that as they dive in. I know I do. Raw dessert for every meal!

Mission Mission reviews vegan cuisine in, wait for it, the Mission! »
Our friends over at Mission Mission have a review up of the Buffalo Girls at Weird Fish, and they are none too pleased! Have you been there, since they brought back the Buffalo Girls? What do you think? I feel like I haven’t heard anything positive said about Weird Fish for the last two years. I had the vegan fish and chips basket there once, on an OK Cupid date, but then I stayed away for a year because that date made me feel awkward (as everything in life does) and so over internet dating (Lie—I went on three more Ok Cupid dates before I came to that conclusion). But the basket was delicious! Eventually I went back, with a guy I was actually dating, and the basket was off the menu! I was so sad. Then the relationship ended and I didn’t need to be reminded of our awkward (See! I think it’s me) yet endearing date there, so I haven’t been back. OMG I’m going to die alone but also, is there any reason to go to Weird Fish these days? Are any vegans enjoying themselves there?

Awesome blog alert: Vegan Miss! »
I don’t remember how I stumbled across this vegan blog, Vegan Miss, but it was pretty recently, and I was like “man, this chica is brilliant.” Then I realized I knew her. Kind of.
Lexy is from the Bay Area, and lives in Chicago! Back in 2008, I went to an event she organized at her college (she was president of the Vegan Society at Loyola—she’s a real go-getter), at which she got Colleen Patrick-Goudreau to speak! It was amazing, and I got my copy of The Joy of Vegan Baking signed! I emailed Lexy shortly afterward to thank her, and thus began my first friendship conducted exclusively over social media.
The years passed and we fell out of contact, but then I found her blog. Check it out! As if you needed further incentive than my enthusiastic “DO IT,” take a look:
Country fried steak. Thank me by inviting me over for dinner when you make this, deal?

I didn’t make it to Veg Speed Dating at Saturn Cafe as I seem resistant to anything not resembling dying alone and being eaten by my cat, surrounded by take-out and delivery boxes in my mess of an apartment. It looks like it was a fun time, as showcased by Eco-gal, who made this snazzy little video of the shenanigans that went down.
My friend Mike (we’re friends, right? Even if we’ve only commented on each others blogs?) attended and does not only have a starring role in the vid (check out the 2:01 mark) he also had very positive (read:not terrifying) things to say:
I thought the event was amazing. There was enough VegENERGY (like that? new word) in the room to turn Emeril vegan! In all seriousness, there were a ton of really wonderful people at the event, and Karen Brighten did a fabulous job setting it up.
Even though there was a wide range of ages, it was fun to have platonic conversations with fellow compassionate humans. Often times, I feel super alone and jaded that I don’t have more vegan friends. It was so nice to have a conversation that didn’t start with, “So, where do you get your protein?” If there is another event in the future, then I will totally be there! Unless, a certain someone snags me off the market!
Ladies?! Who needs speed dating?! I’ll be your personal vegan matchmaker! I’ve watched enough Millionaire Matchmaker to know what I’m doing. Just kidding, Karine, I’m totally at your next event.

Awesome vegan blog alert: the Vegan Stoner »
The Vegan Stoner is an amazingly illustrated recipe blog. I’m in love! I know I say that a lot but this time I think it will stick! The pictures are great but the illustrations just make it super awesome.
Check it out: “The Vegan Stoner was created under the premise that vegan cooking can be made without extensive ingredient lists and involved recipes, that recipes are only templates and the creativity starts in the kitchen.” THAT’S what I’m talking about! That’s how I like my recipes: easy and creative! Incidentally, that’s also how I like my women.

Mushroom and asparagus paella. You know what would make this even better? You know what I’m gonna say: Form the paella into big balls and deep fry those fuckers. HOLY SHIT DEEP FRIED RICE.
This is from the Perfect Pantry, a blog that has lots of delicious vegan recipes and makes you very hungry.
