Buffalo salad rolls! Man, if I had to live gluten-free, I would worship at Kittee’s feet. She is a goddamn genius and a gift to vegan-manity. Have you read Papa Tofu Loves Ethiopian Food? Get on that, you guys, it is magical.
The point of this post, though, is: BUFFALO SALAD ROLLS, starring my number-one favorite meat-style ingredient, Soy Curls. Just look at these beauties! Miniature vegan buffalo wings salads! Last year when Laura and I were in Portland I ate this buffalo tofu salad at Hungry Tiger Too and about died of happiness, but Kittee’s rolls are better, because they are hand-held! And if there’s one thing I secretly love more than salads (salads I adore you), it’s eating with my hands.
Go get the recipe and make yourself some buffalo salad rolls toute de suite! We can enjoy them with spicy margaritas in the Bay Area late-summer sunshine and cry tears of vegan happiness/sweat under our eyeballs.

» Meet Russell Simmons TONIGHT in Oakland!
Late notice, I know, but we get all our news worth reporting from Abby so we must work on her schedule. Take it up with her! She has a job or something.
So, tonight! Meet Russell and ask him why he’s so rad/steer the conversation towards veganism with your thought-provoking question and enlighten the whole crowd! It’s at the First Congregational Church of Oakland and starts at 7:30 p.m. Advance tickets are $12. Do it up!
Oh, also, I don’t know if you’ve seen the March/April issue of VegNews yet but there is an awesome piece about vegan geniuses and it features Russell Simmons. Even more amazing, our Jonas did the art work! In fact, I will now take a picture of Russell Simmons in the current issue and put it below via the magic of the internet:
Look! It’s Russell Simmons by way of Jonas Madden-Connor! And also my thumb! Anyway, GET THE ISSUE NOW.

Vancouver, we love you! Meatless Mardi at Provence Restaurants »
Beginning Tuesday, Oct. 19, a pair of Provençal restaurants in Vancouver, B.C. introduced Meatless Mardi, a three-course prix fixe menu for $25 CA ($25 US, our dollar loses worth by the minute). All the courses are vegetarian, with the option to be made vegan, but it looks like the last few menus have been fully vegan. Provence Restaurants, you are a dream come true.

The idea came from chef/owner Alessandra Quaglia, out of concern for the health of the planet and the people. Alessandra worked and studied in kitchens in the south of France. Inexpensive vegan food cooked à la provençal sounds AMAZING. Then again, what part of “three-course vegan dinner at a French restaurant” could anyone hate? Exactly.

Presumably the cost of living in Vancouver is significantly lower than in San Francisco, because a comparable menu at our finest vegan dining restaurant, Millennium, is $14 more. Can’t we have nice AND afforable things? At least for Meatless Mondays? Canada’s got that social safety net, and Kate Beaton, and gay marriage rights since 2005, and now reasonably priced vegan French food, too! It is NOT FAIR. Yes, yes, the seal hunt is horrific, but it’s not like we’re saints down here. Maybe we can perform a reverse-Jordan and find a nice Canadian fellow to take us away from all this. As long as we are taken directly to a Meatless Mardi menu at one of the Provence Restaurants in Vancouver. And then at the other location. Two dinners are better that one!
Third course from last Tuesday’s menu, chocolate coconut cream and apple compote, almond tuille cup, caramel sauce. Photo by SweetOnVeg.
