So I have finally decided to call myself an adjective vegan. I can eat, buy and use whatever I want, just so happens that I don't want to eat, buy or use animal products. It's more befitting as my life could be described as vegan(adj), but not as a vegan(noun). No longer in the "going vegan" closet, and using a label that is more befitting of my lifestyle. So this tumblr is a diary for me, my random thoughts, a virtual recipe box for veg*n eats, gardening stuff (as I’m a succulents fan and currently trying to grow my own foods), and things that I love to look at. P.S. My Avatar is a picture my son drew for me of a "vampspider". For the longest time, he misheard "vampire" and misunderstood it for "vampspider". Another good fit, often, I've been misheard and misunderstood :)
Food Choices is a documentary film that explores the impact that food has on health, the environment and the lives of other living species.
Very comprehensive and compelling movie about veganism - from health, environmental and ethical standpoints. Â Still have 12 hours to view it for free on their website!
There isn’t really a lot of media coverage on veganism, or if any, it’s always presented as a fad or a joke - which can be pretty depressing.  When I need a lift, I love watching this Youtube channel, Plant Based News.  They feature vegan news pieces and it always leaves me feeling positive and excited about the changes towards the world becoming more vegan :)  This is their recap video on the year 2015.  What a brilliant Youtube channel!
I love this chocolate brand! Every flavor I've tried so far has been creative, impressive and most important - delicious. Must stock up on my next trip North :)
Improvised vegan PadThai, someone ate all the peanuts and so used peanut butter. I didn't have tamarind paste so made some with dried tamarind reconstituted in warm water. I don't know why, but adding carrots and cilantro makes it feel more rounded to me.
