Hosting Vegan Secret Suppers with Mérida Anderson / Patricia Sims’ New Documentary Elephants Never Forget

Starting in a tiny Vancouver apartment, Mérida Anderson would serve elaborate, elegant 3–5 course meals to small groups of very lucky diners. Now her best recipes are collected in the cookbook Vegan Secret Supper. Tune in as Anderson discusses flavour combinations and ingredients you may not know about that can really take your vegan cooking to another level. Then once you are thoroughly tantalized, go pick up the cookbook! (We’re looking forward to trying the sweet potato crème brûlée.)

Then, Patricia Sims joins us to talk about her in-progress documentary film Elephants Never Forget. The story centers around a young elephant who has a chance to be reintroduced into the wild after a life of street-begging. Along the way, the film explores the complex history of elephant-human relationships in the region. And it examines the elephants’ imperiled status in the region today, as young elephants are steadily taken from the few remaining wild areas to supply the insatiable demand of the tourism industry.

so like...

i masturbated yesterday before falling asleep. and liked it, it was quite pleasant and "easy" to get into/enjoy it. (yah, says stuff about...my current place in/with depression; not the usual for me) (and guess that....sex was something desired reintroduced into my life and i wasn't certain of it at the time)

i want to buy all these books but maybe i should chill at it for a bit. i'm excited. they are/were:

vegan secret supper- originally wanted this first and sole reason to order on chapters. but, recipes seem too fancy or "bold & elegant" for me at the moment, as i explore more basic recipes into veganism. will definitely keep in mind.

eating animals -(!!!!!!!!) Me???!? me, wanting to read, and purchase this book? to keep it on my shelf? I've always passed on the idea of reading this book, and especially my intentions. It always brought a slight cringe and fed my cynicism, and at the very worst, i didn't want to be reading it only to pass all my judgements and become more desensitized. To know all the terrible things but keep eating meat. I know how my mind would have worked: I'd have continued to eat meat and feel guilty about it but frustrated/even pissed i was and eat meat out of spite. I think, at least that's how i would have acted for a while. 

The Power of Food-yahhhhhhh. ^_^ Love the cover (hey....it's an avocadoooo), love the simplicity of the recipes, love the format of the book, how it seems to flow (right now, as i previewed the online sections haha).  Also, the author is inspiring (adam hart) and yes, i like it!  I don't think it is introduced to promote veganism or even vegetarianism but I'm pretty sure it is all plant based.  Getting this for sure.

Becoming Vegan-(by Brenda David RD)-I don't know, just glimpsing at the reviews, I thought i'd like this book. to ensure i continue to strive at eating healthy and maintaining a steady health. (I feel I am quite naturally weak, and even though anemia is quite possibly easy to control (with daily iron supplements), I want really know what all these other vitamins and words are :)  Although 2004 is still in our newer, modern, era with updated perceptions of veganism and the subculture, it is still..almost a decade ago. Oh well. :) And yah, getting a objective, medical doctor's perspective is GREAT.

the electric kool-aid acid test-okay okay....stories about other people's trips on ACID??. like. ! duh, how could i not. thanks matt R for this one. mentioned it at save on meats last thursday. i was like, what book could i read.....that i might probably, really, be interested in.....ha. And, explore....my current mind of affairs...I did have the thought yesterday after closing the laptop, ready to finalize the order tomorrow morning, that, what if, [reading about all others' experiences--both positive and negative--might affect future trip(s) based on preconceptions/expectations/worries. But you know what, no, it probably won't, And i really rather enjoy a novel that is based on and in the flourished era when acid started out. 

Maus-i want a graphic novel of some sort. Something similar to the watchmen (which is the only one i've read...) the other day, when i reblogged a short "strip"? is it? from a graphic novel i presume, it was like--wow. I want to be immersed in this. I want the affects and awe you can only get from a graphic novel medium you can't from reading novel prose.  Maus though, I think I'll have to get another time.......I mean, I definitely want to own it and read this in my life (and soon eh) but, to spend $25 on the complete set, and not be totally into the illustrations (versus others, is only all i mean) nor wanting to be reading a story revolving around the holocaust...

need to buy a vaporizerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. if not for greatly diminishing smell, for my health? yeah? any particular brands you recommend--in the $40-$60 range????

*have a lovely day!*
