Be Bop Vegan Cooking

I enjoy cooking in a free form way that reminds me of Be Bop. I start with a structured idea (recipe) read it thoroughly and then toss it aside. I might jot down some notes (perhaps key ingredients or ideas I have to make it better) then I go into the kitchen and start cooking. Otherwise I create recipes from ideas that pop into my head, which is typically the case. I'm forced to cook with feeling and instinct. My cooking reflects my passion for certain flavors and ingredients.

Animal Rights 2008 National Conference

I had the most amazing time at the conference. It was life changing! If you love animals, are thinking about being vegan, you are vegan, and/or you consider yourself a compassionate person - I highly recommend that you go. I met the coolest people there. I was extremely impressed with the lectures and workshops.

Here are some great organizations I learned (more) about at the conference:

FARM (who put on the event)

Mercy For Animals

Vegan Outreach

Compassion Over Killing

Green Is The New Red (blog)

Shac7

United Poultry Concerns(UPC)
