There were about 900 runners who came out to run on this cold, blustery 30 degree March morning here in Rhode Island. My husband and I came prepared with our hats, gloves and Underarmor gear, and waited in a heated tent for the race to start. When the gun went off we began our journey, running past the open ocean where we were greeted with a steady cold wind hitting us in the…
I add bold red to some text to emphasize vegan-ness. J ___________________________________________ ~ “My reason for objecting to every species of matter to be used as food, except the direct produce of the earth – as maybe seen in my last publication – is founded on the broad ground that no other matter is suited to the organs of man. This applies then with the same force to eggs, milk, cheese, and fish,…
“This is my rutabaga…It’s very special to me…” this pronouncement from 7 year-old Joe, one of my 2nd grade boys, made in the usual trailing interrogatory prosody of “sharing time,” our version of show-and-tell. The typical array of items carried carefully into school by the hands of doting parents or shoved in the bottom of backpacks ranges from trophies and vacation pictures and art projects to more exotic artifacts like…
This past week there have been a slew of local vegan events near where I live in Northeast Los Angeles. I’m not sure if there are always this many awesome things going on or if I just started looking at the right time. Unfortunately I did not hear about Mohawk Bend‘s Authors Worth Celebrating event with Isa Chandra Moskowitz until after the fact, though I would have loved to have attended. Actually, the knowledge…
Being vegan in Texas can be hard sometimes. Cities like Austin are becoming more and more vegan-friendly as time passes, though. If you’re headed to the Texas state capital this summer and you happen to be vegan, I’m sure you’ll be in search of some cruelty-free frozen desserts while you’re here. Austin is one of the best places in Texas to satisfy your ice cream cravings! Sweet Ritual is a…

Falafel is a traditional deep fried Middle Eastern dish. We enjoy a wonderfully healthy version by adding a few extra things like turmeric and sweet potato and bake them in the oven instead. I like to add turmeric, because it complements the other flavours so well and gives a gorgeous yellow glow to the plate. Turmeric is an all round winner when it comes to health. It’s excellent at supporting…

There are displays full of apples, oranges, pears, bananas, avocados, and melons to name a few, all neatly piled and strategically placed.…

Juicing can give us a potent hit of helpful nutrients – think ’8 salads worth of high vibrational goodness in a glass’! There are an infinite number of combinations that you can create, yet, most people usually find a favourite combination that they go back to again and again. I’ve been juicing my favourite ‘super cleansing green tonic kale & coriander drink’ for years now… After traveling last week I am…
Re-introducing “Bob”. 88 years after he achieved fame in human circles. This postcard is a much admired & much loved item in our Ernest Bell Library archives. In November of 1926 Ernest Basil Verney FRS (22 August 1894 – 19 August 1967) was about to experiment on “Bob” at University College London – …..somehow they forget to mention anything about this in their history page! “Bob’s” story ……was told in the London U.K. House of…
