Vegan Food and Silly Cats

  I stumbled across this video yesterday on YouTube, and I loved it. I love seeing non vegans trying vegan food and being truly pleasantly surprised. Especially non vegans who maybe are on the meatier, more junk food type of diet. No matter how many vegan junk foods are made, there is still a misconception that we live on kale, brown rice and plain tofu, all washed down with some wheatgrass juice. When I see the genuine look of yum, I see minds being opened, and people who will be more willing to try vegan food in the future, and also make videos like these that will reach a much larger non vegan audience. They really loved the Field Roast sausages! Woot Woot!

This is the delicious pizza I made last night. It has marinara, daiya, broccoli, lots of garlic(benefit of being single) and Kalamata olives. I also sprinkled on crushed red pepper, because if it isn't spicy I don't want it!  This was one of the best pizzas I've made. I didn't realize that broccoli and Kalamata olives seriously love each other. Like a love that is so deep and pure nothing can break it. Another thing I like about Kalamata olives is that they have a very strong flavor, so it doesn't take a lot to make a difference. I really recommend this combination for pizza. I've also been adding a little fennel seed to my pizza sauce when I make it, and I really like that added flavor too.

Afro still has her favorite toy. She likes to sleep with me at night, and a lot of times I'll find her toy in bed, like she brings it to sleep with! It is the cutest thing, and always makes me get all the feels. I wrote about how she liked to charge out of the door at my old place in Seattle, and kind of check out the hallway. Well, recently she's been bum rushing my door here when I come home. I don't have a hallway here, my door leads right outside. And the neighbor across the walkway has a dog. So, the other day Afro charged the door when I came home, and I was letting her sniff around, and up the stairs comes my neighbor and his big dog! Afro jumped five hundred feet in the air, and couldn't get inside soon enough! She still rushes the door, just way more cautiously!

I left a window open last night, and it was pretty chilly when I woke up, so I turned the heat on for a few minutes to warm the place up, and Joan got all nice and cozy! I bet she would love a fireplace!
Happy Sunday!
