My Favorite Vegan Freaks

nobody@vox.com(Mrs. Soytastic) — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 15:34:43 -0700

I love fellow vegans, Bob & Jenna Torres. They are both academics who are also vegan book authors & publishers, bloggers and podcasters. They are hip, but not hippy. They have tattoos and like punk music. They often swear (perhaps a bit much for ...

I stand corrected, PETA

nobody@vox.com(Mrs. Soytastic) — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 23:53:03 -0800

A while back I wrote this tongue-in-cheek post and reminded PETA that "sex sells". Uh, based on their banned Superbowl ad, I guess they figured that out...maybe a little too much for their own good! PETA, one thing is certain: you are edgy....

Got Almonds?

nobody@vox.com(Mrs. Soytastic) — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 00:44:45 -0800

Tonight I tried a recipe that just blew my mind. If you try it, I am sure it will blow yours too. Back when I was a vegetarian and even in my pre-veg days, one of my favorite Italian dishes was Pasta a la Vodka - penne pasta with a rich-creamy-sp...
