Seattlestraddle 11 years, 8 months agoI am done lurking the article comments [and laughing at almost every single one], and am ready to actually interact with all you fine people. I might even interact with you in person. Particularly if you live on Capitol Hill. Even more particularly if you garden or have a spot where I can ;]
-
Gardening rocks! Look forward to it every year. Will admit that I don’t have much of a green thumb, but I still enjoy it very much so. =] What do you like to plant?
-
My ultimate goal is to grow most of my own food, so I stick to herbs and veggies. I love homegrown spinach, broccoli and peas the best.
What problems do you run into? It might not be that you dont have a green thumb, but run into certain problems each time ;]

Seattlestraddle 11 years, 8 months agoAnybody out there live in/familiar with Olympia? I’m moving there in the spring and have no idea what to expect.
-
I live in Olympia! Although, I’m relatively new here as well, what would you like to know?
-
Oh, cool! You know, I hadn’t actually gotten that far yet in my mind, haha. Maybe where a good place is to drink coffee and study? I’m moving there to go to Evergreen.
-
I’m going to Evergreen, and there are coffee shops galore, and the best damn vegan cupcakes you’ve ever had.
-
That is extremely good to hear with the coffee and the cupcakes. How do you like Evergreen so far?
-
Evergreen is really great, I mean no school is perfect but I love the fact there is no required credits (beside the 180) to graduate. I spend more time in the forest than the library, which is ideal.

Okay, sweet fellow veggies, fuck me gently with a chain saw. I am sad and tired, and I don’t want to deb, but I have come here for some love, once again. Bear with me.
I had a gigantic argument about being a vegan with my special person who disagrees with me about the entire thing. We disagree so much about the whole concept of eating vegan. We…[Read more]

Please all, check out this wonderful vegan magazine called Chickpea. I just read the first issue in one go, and it’s amazing! chickpea-magazine.tumblr.com/

I am reading Eating Animals by Johnathan Safran Foer at the moment, and I feel so sad and so alone. Others, like my friends, don’t understand my values and priorities, and this book is so haunting with its truths about suffering and all the things that are wrong with the bioindustry. Does this feel familiar? What do you do when you feel like this?…[Read more]

i have had this book for a year or so now and still haven’t read it, but i know where you’re coming from. i tried bringing it up in conversation to no avail. no one wants to hear that what they eat is bad in so many ways that you don’t have enough fingers to count them on. i’ve just learned to let it go, but do find my self spewing out info every…[Read more]

I feel like this sometimes. Here’s my advice (it has REALLY helped me a lot): 1. Listen to vegan podcasts. I recommend “Vegetarian Food for Thought” and “Our Hen House.” They are both really wonderful for different reasons, and they give me a lot of hope. VFfT has different episodes for each subject, and there are a few on what you’re talking…[Read more]

Oh, and I meant vegan and/or vegetarian for all of these tips. I just realized I typed “vegan” for everything, but I definitely meant both! lol it’s because I have a vegan blog and stuff, so I’m just so much more used to that word.
-
Thanks Cathy! Have you got any tips as to how I find out about vegan meetups in the area? (I live in Europe, so it might be different from the US.)
-
Hi! Sorry it took me so long to respond – I don’t get emails from autostraddle for some reason…
Anyway, do you have Facebook? I would start there… Also, google to see when the next Vegetarian Food Festival is in your area…. they have one in most major cities at least once a year, and you’re likely to meet members of groups you can link up…[Read more]

hi! I’m octo-lavo veggie right now, but I would really like to be more vegan-y. But I’m 15, and I can’t actually buy my own food. help?
-
well you could tag along and go grocery shopping with whoever usually does it at your house and ask get things you would like to eat. if you like making food stuffs you could look up a recipe and pick up those ingredients on said grocery trip and make the a comment like “man, i really want to cut down on my cheese/milk/eggs. oh look at these…[Read more]

Give the person who’s responsible for cooking a Isa Chandra Moskowitz-cooking book as a present this Christmas! Or, even better, buy one for yourself and start cooking! Say you have picked a new hobby and start by cooking yourself for a day a week, if you have the time of course. :)
