  • This Just In: Meat-eaters Will Die First

    Reposted from JackNorrisRD.com I always find it amusing when I’m reading nutrition propaganda from someone using outdated information and they say something like, “As far back as [date], we knew that…” And so it disappoints me to have to do the same thing right now: As far back as June, w

Irreverent Vegetarian Chatter

We may choose not to eat meat, but that doesn't mean that we have to like it. From lipstick vegetarians, raw food celebrities, vegan snobs, to crappy veg foods like Tempeh—there are a million reasons to hate on vegetarian life. And don't get us started on vegans. We mercilessly mock veg products, recipes, celebrities, patchouli and commit a meatless shit ton of other vegetarian on vegetarian crime.

  • Cinnamon Raisin Walnut Bread: Baking Through the Bread Baker's Apprentice
    Entry two in the cinnamon section: a raisin walnut bread. For the life of me I can't find the pics I snapped of the bread, so I am including the one from the book found on Google Books. Sorry to say that the recipe is not also included (I guess this is what "limited preview" means). This is a pretty straight forward raisin bread (with super […]
  • Easy Green Curry
    I love green curry, but I find I rarely make it and gravitate more to a sweet and sour red curry. This dish came together quite quickly from the veggies still kicking around in the fridge at the end of the shopping week.
