Cocktails and Dinosaurs: VeganMoFo 2017 Edition

The consistently random posts where I utilize my strengths which include drinking cocktails and sharing a bullet point list of shit I found on the internet.  I love you, internet.

First off, it's VeganMoFo and I actually did one of the daily prompts.  For day 19, "a dish with five ingredients or fewer (not including cooking oil and salt and pepper)" I made quinoa with kale stems and roasted vegetables (shallots, Brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes).

  • As a person who identifies as bun-curious, I'm excited to try out Meera Sodha's recipe for vegan mushroom bao. (via The Guardian)
  • Every one in a while the internet gives you a gift, like when you're trying to find the article about the Nicolas Cage potato snacks sold in Japan, so you google "Nicolas Cage Japan" and you are delighted by a collection of absurd Pachinko commercials.


  • Side note: I might just start putting "Japan" at the end of all my searches.  
  • Jane Goodall, at 83, still inspiring and making a difference for the animals in this great interview at Scientific American

    “Every single individual makes a difference every single day,” she says in her quiet but determined British accent. “We get to choose what sort of difference we’re going to make.”
  • Try to force out of your mind images of Spencer Pratt with his crystals and embrace this beginner's guide to crystals. (via The GirlieGirl Army)  Don't let him ruin this for us.
  • The director of Drive and Neon Demon, Nicholas Winding Refn, is introducing his own free streaming service.  "Each month will feature a different restored movie (thanks in part to Harvard Film Archive) that fits into a theme that'll change every quarter."  The service launches in February, but beta registration is live now.  (via Engadget)
