World Vegan Day

Not sure which is more tragic: fact that totally forgot last night was Halloween and not one single lollie in house - or fact that no kids came knocking..?

Possibly Swedish Neighbour's offspring has spread the word amongst neighbourhood kids regarding our garden being dubbed "The Spider Jungle" and as one has to make ones way through garden to get to house, nobody was game.
This really was the best outcome, as I said - had no lollies. Also hubby and I slightly afraid of children, so spent entire afternoon and evening telling the other one "if someone comes YOU answer, ok?"

Anyway. Halloween is meaningless commercial holiday.


Today is World Vegan Day.

Allow me to recommend* the following literature (first two responsible for my Vegetarian Ways - third one on list sending me tumbling towards Veganism... Frightening word, realise, but is really not that hard - and is definitely right thing to do):

Eating Animals - Jonathan Safran Foer
www.eatinganimals.com

Fast Food Nation - Eric Schlosser

The China Study - Colin Campbell




*When I say "recommend" - we NEED to know this stuff... happy reading!

All by Isa Chandra.
Any OZ vegan cook books, magazines, websites you recommend?

Hubby knows heaps, I will make a list for you! I mostly experiment without recipes, but realise this is not possible when it comes to baking etc. Looking forward to trying some vegan cookies and stuff. Have a terrible sweet-tooth.
