Cartoon at Washington Post website: check it out here. The IC and I were talking about this as soon as it happened! Oh, well. The only way to avoid it would have been to adopt a mutty, mutty mutt from a shelter! Wouldn't it be great if everyone wanted to do that? Sigh.

This is Why The Racing Industry is Evil

Ugh.

This is just the most obvious form of cruelty associated with this exploitative "sport".

Ideas for Vegan Wedding?

I'm trying to work with my future wedding caterer to come up with a vegan wedding menu. It's really hard!

There are some ideas at VegNews, and while these all sound great, I still feel a little...uninspired. So...anyone have any favorite vegan foods? In particular, anything wedding-feast-worthy? I generally like stuff that's just "naturally" vegan, as opposed to meat substitutes or faux-cheese knockoffs (not that some of these aren't great, too).

I can't even decide on a theme - vegan soul food? Asian? Indian? Fusion? ARG! Any ideas at all would be very welcome. I must communicate with the caterer soon!

Edited to Add:It's June '09, and I am still open to ideas! I've heard from friends directly, but there's still plenty of time if anyone has thoughts. Oh, heck, I'll re-post along the way. What does it take to get people to comment?
