A Carnivore Encounter

This weekend el hombre Gabriel was away with his family, sinfully enjoying his last days of non-veganism. What Ari doesn't know won't hurt her, am I right?

In the mean time, Ariana enjoyed a relaxing weekend at home with some of her local hippy comrades.  What does that entail, you ask? Wellllll.....

                                                       
                                                                   VEGAN FEAST

Sunday brunch after a great service at the local Unitarian Universalist church: Baked spaghetti squash. Wild mushroom pasta sauce. Oven roasted eggplant. Locavore stir fry. Diced pepper and tomato salad. This meal of vegan godliness was certainly enjoyed by all. But... what's the catch? There was only one vegan present. Yeah, it's true; Ari's cookin' delicious food again as a form of vegan-propaganda for the decaying-biomass proponents of the world. I get it, I get it. Tyson tells us that real men love their meat. But a girl can try.

It was a great time and we had some awesome discussions on life, death, media and society, the government, our futures. Like keepin' topics of conversation light.

       Note: Neither Elliott nor Chance are supporters of any sort of mass-marketed, irresponsible, multi-million dollar meat harvesting corporations (Tyson or otherwise). They've actually got some reasonably understandable arguments for meat consumption. It is to be respected. No friendships shall be disowned.

      Note #2: Speaking of Tyson.... I've been hearing a lot about KFC; those no-good, mega meat harvesters. But all chicken torture and heart failure aside, all the current hype is directed towards the company's use of Indonesian rainforest in the production of their disposable packaging products. On top of the obvious loss of a natural ecosystem with all its bio-diverse splendor, the poor Sumatran tigers are being driven to extinction! I read about it here, but if nothing else SIGN THE PETITION. Please and thank you :)
Here's a cutesy video about it:

Alright. I'm off my pedestal now. It may seem extremist, but this stuff's important out the wazoo!

When Gabriel goes away for an entire weekend, naturally one can not host merely ONE vegan fiesta. Gotta make him jealous to get him to come back.

Vegan feast numero dos was composed of tofu, another locavore stir-fry (with broccoli from the garden!), and some forbidden rice (if you haven't had it, you've GOT to. Super fibrous and filling, and it's got the same antioxidant content that blueberries do. And you know how everybody likes to promote those antioxidants).

Feelin jealous? Come on over! Mi casa es su casa!
