X-MESS

A firm warn­ing. This short film, although made entirely from food items, con­tains scenes of viol­ence against veget­ables that may give you night­mares. Ser­i­ously awe­some short film that is a trib­ute to the sci-fi hor­ror clas­sic “Alien”.

Skeptical Vegan Post

Oh look. Someone more polite that this self-proclaimed (mil­it­ant) human­ist vegan just wrote a post at Skepchick. Check it out if you are look­ing for a more ambi­val­ent moral pos­i­tion regard­ing vegan­ism. Stay there for the comments.

That Spicy Salty Taste

On a whim I decided to buy some mapo tofu ingredi­ents, sans the mince meat and shrimp, and pro­ceeded to con­coct a some­what spicy salty dish the likes of which I had never before sampled.
