Baltimore / D.C. Autostraddlers! 12 years, 4 months agoUgh it is too hot outside. Well, not today, but in the summer in general. It’s the one and ONLY thing I dislike about this area and miss about the Upper Midwest.

Baltimore / D.C. Autostraddlers! 12 years, 4 months agoRED LINE REPRESENT!

GREEN LINE WHUT. Also, the circulator is my girlfriend.
-
To be fair, I’ve left D.C. for a little while and I lived equidistant from Red and Green. (I think I just totes told everyone where I lived.) But I took the Red to work. And when the Tea Partiers descended on my city to see Glenn Beck shit all over MLK, they hilariously warned their fellow Beckites that the Green Line was scary and evil! It’s…[Read more]

My bad – I thought you were talking about Baltimore’s Red Line subway, which surprised me as I don’t know anyone who uses it. That’s the problem with the one group for both I guess.
Charm City Circulator is the shit, though. If you’re ever in Bmore that’s the way to go.
Also, Glenn Beck and racist Repubs = ew.

This group is so quiet. Controversial discussion topic! Fake meats: yay or nay?
Personally, I say nay. I stopped eating meat because the thought of it grosses me out, so why would I eat something that allows the consumer to pretend they are eating meat? I once ate a Quorn chik’n patty that resembled chicken so much I stopped eating after a few…[Read more]

Yeah I read about meat glue and how they use it to make fake cuts like filet mingon
uh HUh so I am moving more and more to just fresh veggies and salads love my ROMAINE lettuce so crunchy!!! -
I’m all for it. I mean, there are researchers out there working on growing meat in petri dishes, and I think that’s awesome. People eat meat because they think it tastes good. If it’s possible to make cruelty-free meat (or fake meat) that still tastes good, I’m not sure what the problem is. It would just encourage more people to eat less of the real deal.
-
I think it can be a good aid for the transitional period right after someone becomes a vegetarian. My transition to vegetarianism was extremely sudden. I saw some cows get shot for food and never touched meat again. I had all these cravings and eating fake meat (veggie burgers and a lot of the Morningstar Farm products) got rid of those…[Read more]
-
I think it’s good for sudden “food urges,” like fake Italian sausage to go with my sauteed onions and peppers, or fake bologna to put in my epic sandwiches. I don’t miss the taste of meat, but I do miss certain foods that I enjoyed when I used to eat meat. But I’m suspicious of the looong list of ingredients in fake meat, and so in general they…[Read more]
-
Oh nooo, fake veggie buffalo wings are the SHIT. that and the tofurky italian sausage which made a pleasant addition to my spicy jambalaya that i made for my little evening shindig. So, I’m suspicious most of the time, like I just tried “fake” bacon strips and they taste like cardboard. But, as a black woman, I grew up eating “soul food” which…[Read more]
-
I almost always regret eating fake meat on the rare occasions that I do. I just think they’re so heavy and heavily processed, tofu all the way!!
-
…I avoided fake meats at all costs the first five or six years I was a veg. Somewhere along the line (I think it was when I first discovered tempeh and seitan, or when I went vegan?) I got over the ick-factor, and now make seitan from scratch about once a month, to the extreme delight of many of my friends. I’m also hopelessly in love with the…[Read more]
-
I think I agree that fake meat is a good transitional tool. I was making fake chicken finger subs and tacos when I went veg. A big part of why I stopped is I don’t think loading up on soy every day is a great idea. Maybe my disfavor toward fake meats is misplaced. I mostly just thought that Q’uorn chik’n patty tasted and had a texture far too much…[Read more]
-
I wasn’t really into fake meats in the beginning for a similar reason – it tasted like meat and weirded my head out too much. But 17 years later, I’ve forgotten what meat tastes like and can enjoy a Red Bamboo nugget (or five. YUM) and homemade seitan in a stir-fry. I would LOVE to figure out how to make delicious “chicken” nuggets though. Anyone…[Read more]

yes! it is quite labor intensive but totally worth it. my gf makes it for me as a special treat when i have a horrible week. i prefer to toss them in wing sauce. i miss boneless buffalo wings on the regular. they key is freezing the tofu. keep it in the package, dont open it, and put it in the freezer over the night. then put in fridge and thaw.…[Read more]

Baltimore / D.C. Autostraddlers! 12 years, 4 months agoI really want to go to Baltimore pride this year but I don’t have any lesbian friends to go with and I am V. nervous about driving down in the city. I didn’t read over all the previous comments relating to pride(sorry), did any of guys decide to meetup and carpool, or meetup somewhere else? Hugs, L
-
We haven’t decided on a meet-up, but if it’s safety you’re worrying about, I live in Mt. Vernon, the area where Pride is centered, and you don’t have to worry, it’s one of the safest parts of the city. (Parking, though, that’s a different story and a big part of the reason why I haven’t bothered to get my license yet…)
-
I’m coming in from B-more county and I’m wondering if I should even bother trying to park or if anyone has any opinion on whether taking the Light Rail down is worthwhile/what stop I would want to get off at
-
Parking in Mt. Vernon is insane. I would take the light rail and get off at Centre. There’s also a map here: http://mta.maryland.gov/services/lightrail/schedule/Light_Rail_09.pdf
