Nice, somebody wrote down a to-do-list for me. Where do I start?
The Sexual Politics of Ethics
I already read Megan Rascal’s post about this today over at Vegansaurus! and I’m really glad to have also come by Carol J. Adams’ comment on the fact that a five-person jury for an essay contest on ethics in the year of 2012 is entirely made up of white males. (You don’t know who Carol J. Adams is? Well, amongst other things, she’s the author of books like The Sexual Politics of Meat and Living Amongst Meat Eaters, which are very much on my to-read-list, I swear.)
Often, when there are complaints about the lack of women and people of colour in a certain panel, I first check whether these people may not in fact simply have been the best choice for the job owing to their topical competence, because I do have certain reservations about mandatory quotas. But as Adams points out, in this case there would have been a very wide array of women to choose from who are at least as competent as the selected jury members, if not even more so. And so the question pops up: Why five penis-people?
(Oh, and the essay challenge, by the way, asks for an answer to the question: Why is it ethical to eat meat? Of course nobody will really be able to answer this, because they are “calling all carnivores” and I have yet to meet an actual carnivore with the ability to write an essay. But, hey, maybe some lion from the zoo will come forth and share his or her thoughts, huh? Ya never know…)

Soooooo … I may just have made another layer cake. For the two of us.
U GUISE, I completely forgot to share my first ever layer cake with you! Erm, TADAAAAAH!
I found this awesome vegan cream at our local vegan supermarket and so I looked up a vegan sponge cake recipe - et voilà! - I made a vegan layer cake quite ready to sustain a private wedding party. And you know what? It turned out really nicely and since we didn’t actually know anyone who was gettting married, Uti and I simply ate the entire thing ourselves. In three days. Like it was nothing. That’s how we roll. Like, literally.
(You’re looking at chocolate cream with bananas in the middle layer, vanilla cream with poppy and chocolate splinters on top and a kind of vegan sponge cake in between. I used HuLaLa plus cream, an orgy of E numbers, but you don’t make a creamy layer cake as health food, now, do you.)
Yup, totally reblogging myself. I have no shame.
red rice sushi (by gunstreet.girl)
“Rice dyed with beet water & filled with yam, asparagus, and beet. On a bed of avocado wasabi mayo.”
AVOCADO WASABI MAYO??? THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE CONDIMENT OF THE GAWDS!
change the world!
I’m moving soon and one of the requirements of my next home is garden space.
I’m considering to start a little guerilla-gardening project on our unused roof. Unfortunately it’s a little hard to get stuff up there with only one very long and very shaky wooden ladder.
