    The Halloween Thread

    Oh I already made my veg*n horror movie thread I didn't see this Halloween one an hour or two ago. Let's see, my actual plans for Halloween include dressing up, going to the farmer's market, and making a cranberry-walnut-mushroom-lentil loaf (it's supposed to be for Thanksgiving, but I really...

    Things that do not go together

    Bananas and peanut butter are fine. But once when I was like in the 5th or 6th grade my grandfather's wife made me a sandwich of bananas, peanut butter, and MAYONAISE because apparently Elvis ate that garbage. Mayo does not belong with bananas and peanut butter.

    OMG I LOVE PINEAPPLE PIZZA! Ha ha.

    Things that do not go together

    I know this is vegetarian and not vegan - but beer and dairy cheese. Yuck. I can't believe people eat pizza and beer and not pizza and wine or pepsi. To me this is so gross to think about from a distance, a culinary mistake. How did beer-cheese soup ever happen??? Vegan: almond milk and coffee...

    What's in your Garden?

    I just planted radishes and turnips in the past two weeks because I heard they were easy to grow. They're already sprouting so well I will have to thin them! I also have a "kitchen garden" of basil, dill, marjoram and sage.

    How to avoid (plant-based) milk waste

    Well it's correct if you can't afford a high-speed blender. I had a roommate who made his own milk with nut-milk bags.

    How to avoid (plant-based) milk waste

    Well it takes a long time to go bad, it's not like dairy milk it lasts quite a while. Put a little in coffee or tea, or on cereal. Make overnight oats. I also make a simple cheez sauce with nutritional yeast, or a brown gravy with other things, by using plant-based milk. I can say I've...

    Frugal Recipes

    Right now I've been very happy to use plant based milk, pumpkin spice shaker, and maple syrup or brown sugar (or even with no sweetener) in my coffee. I also have done peppermint oil with maple syrup and plant based milk, but be careful with peppermint it will give you heartburn if you use too...

    Frugal Recipes

    I bought a 12 pack of northern white beans from Amazon. I like to roast them (drained) in the oven around 350 degrees, along with whatever I have. That could mean onion, the last of my fresh celery, and smoked paprika. That could mean fresh ginger, frozen broccoli, and more onion. I like to bake...

    News Oat Milk Should be Your N°1 Choice

    I've honestly never been interested in Ripple. One of my roommates drinks it, but I like my pea protein in vegan meats, I guess. My least favorite plant-based milk is almond. I drink it occasionally on-sale, it will do, but I prefer almonds as nuts if I buy them. Cashew is good, but I do it...

    News Oat Milk Should be Your N°1 Choice

    You can drink both. I like vanilla oat milk as a straight beverage or in coffee. Like I just drink it as a snack. Soy (especially plain unsweetened) is great in cooking/recipes, or in your cereal.

    News Oat Milk Should be Your N°1 Choice

    Chobani Vanilla Oat milk is really the best plant-based milk I've ever seen. I also saw an environmental graph today that reassured me that oat milk is my best choice environmentally. But soy is close, and has more protein, and I still drink soy milk and think it's a perfectly fine choice.

    Halloween 2020

    Halloween has ALWAYS been my favorite holiday. At least as long as I had a favorite holiday. I've been that person for the past five years talking about how Tobe Hooper's original Chainsaw 1974 was "about meat" (in his own words, people threw up on the set due to the rotting animal parts in the...

    No, Its Really Not About You Being a "Nicer" Vegan

    Yeah so I decided to come back here briefly (after my totally emo meltdown late-night during the apocalypse smoke skies over a month ago, I've been camping since then and trying to manage my mental health better thanks) ...because I found out one of my roommates who I thought was a...

    Music What are you listening to now?

    I'll never forget this moment about 10 years ago where my sister and I bonded over this song. I couldn't believe she was so much like me, so much like my grandparents. I wish I could find a marriage partner who surprised me the same way my (vegetarian) sister did. Because in every way she's also...

    Fashion and Aging

    Wait I know why my mother and grandma's generation wanted to cut their hair and be "ugly" they were so entrapped by sexuality and pantyhose (my mother once went on this long rant about pantyhose, and being an 80s baby, it still made sense to me, because I started wearing pantyhose at SEVEN and...

    Fashion and Aging

    I mean here's a PERFECT photo of Johnette Napolitano in 1992. Peak goth girl. I see this being my hairstyle from 45-65. With natural alterations to potential Anne Rice grays previously mentioned above, of course. Was there ever a girl who looked forward to growing up to being the Concrete...

    Fashion and Aging

    I'm not sure if anyone here even cares, but I've planned my aging very carefully. Some women are dedicated to girlishly thin, but the thing that always pre-occupied me was HAIR. I noticed as a child of the late 20th century is that a lot of my elders chopped their hair off. Even my mom, at the...

    Vintage News

    Oh cool. While I was away from here, I worked in an historic hotel for about a month. I love things that are vintage. Especially prior to 1985.

    The Weather.

    The weather lately has made me mentally ill and makes me wonder if I should keep trekking north. I thought this was a good spot for me, and IT IS, it's very resilient to climate change, but we got smoke drift for a few days. We got the Bay Area "apocalypse skies" on Thursday, then terrible smoke...
