Yeah, I know I haven’t updated in nearly 2 months.  I bet you’re thinking that I’ve been reading too much existential or counter-cultural literature, gave up on this blog/life, sunk into a deep depressive state, and am stuck in the wtf-do-I-do-now post-grad black hole limbo state.  While I can’t say this hasn’t/won’t happen in the [...]

Being a huge fan of Isa Candra’s Veganomicon cookbook, I recently acquired a copy of her other popular cookbook, Appetite for Reduction: 125 Fast and Filling Low-Fat Vegan Recipes.  For all you skeptics out there, yes it is possible to produce a filling and satisfying vegan meal even if it’s low-fat.  This recipe contains a [...]

I found out about a week ago that Patti Smith was going to be on campus at USC for the LA Times Festival of Books, but her section sold out before I could buy tickets.  I was desperate to see her as I had read her National Book Award Winning and New York Times Best [...]

Just came across this brand new blog Hipster Animals while browsing the interwebs.  Pretty nifty illustrations.  Here are a few of my favs.

Just as I was prepping my review for one of the most awesome vegan restaurants ever, I read some disheartening news that Pure Luck may be shutting its doors for good as soon as next month.  According to Sean Bonner at bloggin.la, “Pure Luck has been sold and will be shutting down and reopening as [...]
