Yahoo! News: PETA Launching Boycott of KFC (AP) – People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said Monday it is launching a boycott against KFC because of alleged animal-rights abuses by the chain of fried-chicken restaurants. Remember that jingle? “Kentucky Fried Chicken: we do chicken right!”
One of the nation’s biggest airlines recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Now I read this headline from Investor’s Business Daily: McDonald’s Expects Its First-Ever Loss As Chain Retrenches Amid Weak Sales. Another sign of the weak economy? Hardly. Maybe McDonald’s is losing money because they’re not vegetarian-friendly. I completely stopped giving Mickey D’s […]
After a pretty awful day of working in the garden, we went to Pico Kosher Deli for dinner and I ate a big pastrami sandwich. It was incredible. I’m still in a bad mood, but my stomach is full. I spent many years being an almost-vegetarian (I never gave up eating fish) but about a […]
I’m in the kitchen cooking some Latkes for the first night of Chanukah. I think we should rename it the “Festival of Grease.” While I’m cooking, I’m listening to Falco: the Remix Hit Collection.

The story, written by Erica Marcus, is entertaining and well-researched. She even spoke to my favorite Jewish Holidays expert: Rabbi Michael Strassfeld (author of The Jewish Holidays: A Guide & Commentary). […]
My uncle Steve is in Las Vegas for Comdex, so we met up for dinner. He lives in Chicago so we don’t get to see him too often. Tonight was a real treat. We enjoyed some pretty decent sushi at the San Remo hotel. Afterwards, we headed downtown to see the light show at the […]
We just got a copy of the Vegetarian Resource Group’s Guide to Fast Food. It’s a great little booklet, well worth the $4, and an extremely interesting read. I keep Kosher but eat vegetarian food at non-Kosher restaurants, so this is a useful resource.
We have been making our favorite Vegan Caesar Salad Dressing recipe quite a bit this summer. from Vegetarian Resource Center – vrc@tiac.net – Boston, USA You didn’t say that it had to be low calorie; this is the dressing for a “Vegan Caesar Salad” (It is supposed to go on romaine lettuce, with croutons) 2 […]
