Thanks! It was inspired by this recipe that i had wanted to share around the time i made my acct lol.

But exactly! Last year our friend group went on vacation and everyone was happy to let us cook vegan food for all our meals. It averaged less than $4 per person, per meal compared to the area would’ve been 5x that to eat out. The friends were genuinely shocked when i told them how little it was for a week. We cheated a little bit by bringing pre-portioned spices for the recipes but bought everything else fresh. Most of the dinner recipes were also just slow cooker meals. We made a simple breakfast, packed a lunch, and threw something in a slow cooker while we went out to explore. Really showed everyone how making healthy food doesn’t have to be expensive or take a long time

I haven’t had any major discussions guiding people to veganism that i can recall, i mostly just try to host my friends and cook them delicious vegan food so that they know vegan food can be delicious too. All my friends and family know I’m vegan and know they can ask me questions. A lot ask me for the recipes i make. If they ask questions about being vegan then i answer and ask them what’s stopping them and see if theres any misconceptions i can help with. I wouldn’t say those are major conversations, just small guiding ones

It’s funny because I’m having a similar experience with arch Linux meme. after seeing it so much i started reading about why it’s so great and i have considered using it when i switch my main pc over to Linux. right now just my servers run on Linux so I’m not unfamiliar with it, but haven’t switched my daily driver yet.

I can’t tell if this is hilarious or genius. I guess both! But im glad it worked!

I wanted to be supportive of my SO and when we started renting a new place i agreed that it would be meat-free (she was Vegetarian at the time). Within a few months she wanted to become vegan after 20 years Vegetarian. I said no problem and we made our house vegan. When we went out to eat i just ate vegan with her and after 7 months or so i realized i had been vegan so i might as well just commit to it.

So yeah, kind of silly. I do take issue with the meat* industry and all that but what made me decide was basically just “that wasn’t so hard” and i just kept doing it. That was about 7 years ago? Crazy.

How has becoming vegan improved your life?

So many ways, but the one I’ll say is i eat much healthier now. I used to never eat my fruits and veggies, and i lived out of the freezer with prepackaged meals. Now i could go live in my garden

Shoes - ahimsa

Also, where did my spinach go?

https://www.noracooks.com/about/ - Everything we’ve tried from there has been good. The blueberry pancake recipe is great (and also works as waffles)

Also check out your library. Few years ago we got a ton of books and just copied a bunch of recipes that sounded good. Still trying new things from that because we found a lot of favorites.

There’s a term for that! Brandolini’s law

I kinda like it. Its never occurred to me to adjust the color settings. I may have to try that with some of my photos before sharing recipes with friends, particularly since lighting in our place isn’t always the best.

It’s the result of the meme factor that both groups will self identify themselves. It’s the age old joke of “how do you know someone [is/does] Z”? (They’ll tell you)

Doesn’t bother me though

Alright I’ll try calling my SO agavendicksaft. If you never hear from me again then you know what happened

Plant- based is literally worthless. It’s just marketing fluff. You can have a plant-based stew with rocks, sand, or meat in it. The BSI definition would say this isn’t plant-based but plant-based its not a protected term. Also even with the BSI definition it can still contain less than 5% meat derived ingredients which is not vegan. Aka worthless

Same, long day and took too long to read it right lol

The post is about the other silk-- the natural fiber that is harvested by killing silk moths.

The soy milk has at least some vegan flavors

I lead similarly with “i love animals” and then i watch to see how much cognitive dissonance they have
