I just found that I didn't feel any better physically and certainly not mentally. There were so many soy-based foods that just totally turned me off. I found eating fruit and veg. only with some rice resulted in me eating constantly in huge amounts to reach my daily calorie intake. I turned vegan for medical reasons, and will continue to eat a plant-focal diet but have decided to include eggs, cheese and meat sometimes as that is what is best for me. Not for the animals who will die of course, but for me. I certainly will not be supporting large companies and will only buy local. Hopefully that will reduce the suffering of the animals I eat. Thanks for your wonderful story, it was brave of you to tell everyone and face ridicule :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09251896404997034198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240488540953605755.post-7496677921634160302013-05-09T07:05:04.958-07:002013-05-09T07:05:04.958-07:00Its like saying the bin laden has black hair so al...Its like saying the bin laden has black hair so all black haired citizens are terrorists. this is obviously pushed by a corporate meat raising and packing agendaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240488540953605755.post-8990423915064809882013-04-22T12:31:25.476-07:002013-04-22T12:31:25.476-07:00Yum!

I also have the same issue of "edible Santa Barbara" with a page corner turned down on the Wine Cake recipe. I liked your revisions so I will be making your version. I'm with you on the stand mixer, too much trouble.<br /><br />We actually just returned from the annual COOC meeting. A brief explanation of what it takes to get COOC certified. First it must pass USDA chemistry standards (free fatty acidity, peroxide value, and ultraviolet absorbance.) Most of our oils also go through two additional tests set forth by the Australian Olive Association (AOA), PPP and DAG's. Once the oil passes all of these chemical tests it is eligible for "Sensory Assessment." The olive oil is tasted by a highly trained panel of judges for Negative Attributes or Defects. The oil is judged on a sliding 1 to 10 scale in six categories. If the panel picks up any defects the oil will not receive COOC certification. <br /><br />Pretty amazing huh? While the oil is tasted for defects the tasters are also evaluating Positive Attributes. While an oil may meet with general approval, if not "Balanced" it will never go on to becoming an "Award Winning" oil.<br /><br />I would love to provide a mini "Sensory Assessment" class for you if you would care to learn more. We often conduct "How to Taste" classes, our customers have a lot of fun with the whole process. <br /><br />Please give me a call and we can set up a time. <br /><br />Thank you again for using our products and your wonderful compliments. <br /><br />Laura Kirkley<br />Founder, il Fustino, oils & vinegarsLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09996643087866555744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240488540953605755.post-44573091837475802392013-04-07T21:57:26.498-07:002013-04-07T21:57:26.498-07:00Yayy!!

Hilarious!<br /><br />"My philosophy when staying with non-vegans, I decided, is to let my commitment to being a good house guest trump my commitment to being an obnoxious vegan. I'm not going to stray from my vegan diet, but neither am I going to talk anyone's ear off about why my meal is better than theirs." Amen to that!

So thanks for the tip about the coffee and is the Tuesdays farmers market in Goleta? no, it's the one down town! I have some extra zucchini squash and avocados 2 trade for some other kind of vegetables if you're interested. We could meet up at the farmers market. or I would love to have some of that grain from San Ynez. <br /> I have not done anything like this before, but I live right by TJ's and it bugs me that all the things travel such great distances. we see the trucks come in the night. they don't buy anything local. It all comes from Pasadena.
