Where might I find soy yogurt - that is vegan - covered raisins? peanuts? soy nuts? ANYTHING?!
And could something be created, and well sold, akin to Kellogg's new Yogos product, that is 100% whole foods, or mostly healthy anyhow? Yogos are small pellets with a "yogurty inside, fruity inside", Learned about from Essence magazine (May 2006, p. 251)
If I did it all over again from graduation, I do believe I would've gone into food development, stayed in Minnesota, and worked that angle. Ah well, I might've been a real tramp had I stayed beyond that first year post-graduation.
And I'm still able to do food development, albeit with different geography and corporate partners.
Back after a Mac-less month!

Akiko Ida and Pierre Javelle (a French pastry chef/arts photography team) create landscapes out of food: mushrooms, kiwis, salads, ice cream, watermelons, cakes. Cauliflower, even. The result is actually really funny and great, and can be seen through the duo's own photographs.

i realized yesterday that i organize the world's largest vegan meetup, or one of, if numbers changed significantly. some questions came to mind: my volunteering for denver, i need a good book to read. the jul+aug magazine pile is more tame than i expected. really makes more sense to buy a book in denver OR take a more modest weighted one from here. * can use the time to write, read emails backlog - can borrow, even rent, a station * want to cafe, be out & about more this time

Study: Most Will Be Fat Over the Long Haul
By ALEX DOMINGUEZ

October 03,2005
BALTIMORE -- Just when we thought we couldn't get any fatter, a new
study that followed Americans for three decades suggests that over
the long haul, 9 out of 10 men and 7 out of 10 women will become
overweight.

ya, i should use the links thing from webpage - with safari, it's a whole different exercise - to save time and admin effort. the goal is to focus on the writing y'all :-) er, me!
*I should track down the cassette of The Gyrlz's album - song title escapes me at the moment - and dub it over that a way :-) This isn't paramount just right now.
Oh, a waking thought: keep growing, improving, resurging, and let clarity on a specific, big project emerge for a FULL week, then G O! (suspect this will come as winter begins, or is in progress).
I need four meals before I fly out; actually one to take wed eve would be 5, plus drink(s) & snack. (Twill be fun to do DVD playing going forward; loved Renato's description of DVRing things directly onto a hard drive! yeehaw, don't need it yet. just love this idea of flipping into a very digital world. I see, and sense, that's not quite yet though...)
If I can buy the 2, or 3, books at work, do we have a % somewhere? Really, I bet AMZN is the way to go, so I put 1,2 of the titles in my shopping cart. Really, I don't see reading one of these on vacation. In fact, that seems contrary to the whole point/vibe of a (and this) vacation. If I change my mind, I can buy the book in my travels. ** I think I want to read the Da Vinci Code - find/borrow paperback - en routes.
OK, so I think this dessert buffet idea (Vegan EatUp) is a great idea. Need to sketch it out to be more contained, and not over doing it on the spending. Hearing under $200, likely more. I see Vegan Treats, Bethlehem as not an official event, small handpicked group to go - besides only 4-6 will fit in vehicle. Then we could/may offer to pick up items for folks that pre-pay in advance. The event itself would be later that day/evening or the next. I guess I'd do it later that same day:-) ** Now why wouldn't I simply attach on an order direct, or sub, through her Tuesday delivery? I guess because it's a fun roadtrip idea, though I'm not finding an efficiency in going - though wait wait I put it in front of Thanksgiving for people who could take something by Danielle for a holiday celebration to smack people's expectations around ;-)
Will revisit later. I do believe this is an event near Thanksgiving/before Christmas. January is much about the dieting; I'm seeing doing a vegan chocolates something for February's 2nd event. April's could be a pagan easter something - maybe the aforementioned potluck. June is a picnic, eh? August is something indoors and cool, oh so raw, eh? October is harvest themed. Next December is a cookie exchange... All sketches, nothing signed onto. (Yes yes, I know, I love event production.)

Read Shane Allison's spiced, stick it to them poem "I'm A Black Homosexual" in Windy City Times. Alas, my Googling yields no link. Found this page of a bunch of his poems though, plus an email address.
