Halloween is happening in just two days! If you are handing out halloween candy this year, I wanted to share a list of vegan-friendly halloween candy (I’m making no claims about the other ethics involved–many of them are produced or owned by large corporations, and where does that sugar come from anyway? Who produces it?). Anyway, VegNews […]

VegNews in the Mailbox
Remember when we used to actually get mail in the mailbox that we actually cared about? The art of writing letters on paper and having them delivered to loved ones by the U.S. Postal Service has quickly been replaced by more immediate communication–email, texting, the telephone. I love a good letter in the mailbox and […]
Walk for Farm Animals
After a couple of months of fundraising for Farm Sanctuary’s Walk for Farm Animals, yesterday was finally the day to walk! The fundraising period is open till next week, but the walk is complete! Eric, Maizy and I set out first thing Sunday morning to head up to Greenlake where the walk was being held. Our eagerness […]
New York City: Days 3 and 4
Saturday morning was another delicious breakfast made by Emma– sweet quinoa with pecans and dried apricots. Yum! Emma had to work again and Gwen had gone back to New Haven on Friday (to return on Saturday afternoon), so I headed uptown to visit my dad where he was staying with some good friends at 207th […]

Homegrown Smoker BBQ in Portland
Yesterday, I drove down to Portland and back to drop my dad off at my grandmother’s house. My grandmother is 97 and lives with my uncle and a caretaker. On the way to my grandmother’s house, I insisted that we stop for some kind of vegan meal in Portland. I chose the Homegrown Smoker BBQ […]
Animals in Human Societies- The Brock Review
A special issue of the open-access interdisciplinary academic journal The Brock Review came out this weekend. It has a number of really interesting articles on a range of subjects relating to the subject of animals in human societies. I have not yet gotten to read all of the articles yet, but I am excited to […]
Nectarine Blueberry Pie
We were at the vegetable stand the other day and picked up some nectarines. Sometimes peaches and nectarines are hit or miss for me (they can be mealy or mushy), but these were a very nice consistency and were very sweet. We went back this morning to get some more, and I decided to make a […]
