You Favored Prop 2, Now Go Vegan Too…New livevegan.org Website
Trying to capitalize on the Prop. 2 victory in California, animal rights groups FARM, IDA, APRL, and the Animal Rights 2009 National Conference have launched the new website livevegan.org (not to be confused with the old-ish SoCal site livingvegan.org). You can keep up-to-date on their website about all their California campaigns including placement of ten [...]
Roll Your Own Tofurkey
About.com has a great video on how to make your own Tofurkey. They say it’s delicious and it certainly looks tasty, but I haven’t tried it so if you make it let me know how it turns out. I really like how About.com has the video plus the directions down below, very handy! It’s much [...]
Would You Wear These?
The Vegan Collection is getting ready to add belts to the list of stuff we sell. We will have a simple non-leather plain black and plain brown option, but what do you think of the black/brown combo belts? I’m kind of digging them. Would you wear them?
Dolphin Documentary “The Cove” Nominated for Sundance Prize
I had heard about the new documentary “The Cove” about six months ago, and the trailer has been circulating around the web for quite some time. The film documents the horrifying events that happen at the small Japanese town of Taijii during their dolphin capture. The film finally premiered at this week’s Sundance Film Festival [...]
Gossip Girl Gives Angelica’s Kitchen A Little Love

But they did give a shout-out to one of my favorite NYC veg restaurants, Angelica’s [...]
Crusing Vegan Style
We’re back from our short five day cruise from Long Beach down to Mexico and back. Before we left, I did a bit of snooping around to see what kind of experiences other vegans have had on Carnival Cruise Line and if they had any advice. As one can imagine, being stuck on a boat [...]
Vegan Reubens – The Eternal Quest
I just saw this amusing post on a random blog called “Vegan Reuben? I’ll take cardboard – it’s cheaper” where the non-vegan author talks about his vegan reuben experience: I had lunch with a friend at a vegan restaurant in Santa Monica last week. I thought, ‘OK, I’m game’. Mistake. I love reuben sandwiches. Can’t [...]
Vegan Vacations
Next week we are taking off to Mexico on a short cruise and it got me thinking about vegan vacations. The cruise that we are taking is supposed to offer a wide variety of vegan dining options, but I’ll believe it when I see it. It may end up being a fruit and fries week. [...]
