I find that a lot of Vegetarian/Vegan restaurants fall into two categories. One is the restaurants that serve mainly vegetable dishes. These may include rich soups, vegetable sandwiches, whole grain breads, pastas and fresh salads. The other is one that models itself after meat restaurants but replaces all the meat with vegetarian/vegan alternatives. Sometimes I dig the first style. Sometimes the second. I really have [...]
Sometimes you crave one of those really sugary, super processed, chalky as hell protein bars. Sometimes you want something a little better for you. It is at those moments that I reach into my cupboard and look past the quick oats and protein powder. I have my sights set much further back in the pantry. It is here that I find my container of…quinoa?! Quinoa [...]
Dude walks into a sushi bar, one of those hardcore ones where people are wearing bandanas, there are no forks anywhere to be found and sake is being sucked from a keg. He shouts out to the crowded bar “I’ve got dessert sushi.” Hearing this the crowd rushes forward. He explains that his dessert sushi consists of “Crepe dough, rolled around a peanut butter laced [...]

It is an album dedicated to the most vulnerable and vital organ in the human body. It is an album of realization, [...]
While I’ve eaten mostly vegan for the past six months or so, I still make exceptions for birthdays and celebrations for both my teammates and the kids in my class. If I were to refrain from sharing in the celebration I think my teammates would understand but the kids, that’s a different story. Case in point, Valentine’s Day.

Somehow, some way, J-Fur and I have to figure out how to fit a baby in this cramped apartment. In recent weeks we’ve combed painstakingly through our possessions trying to figure out what needs to go and what can stay. One of the first things we attacked is our 95 book shelves. Memories ensued, followed closely behind by tantrums, as I had to part with [...]
