when we are both cats...

…But there’s also so many things that are OK and good that sometimes it makes you crumple over with being alive. We are allowed such an insane depth of beauty and enjoyment in this lifetime. It’s what my dad talks about sometimes. He says the only way that he knows there’s a God is that there’s so much gratuitous joy in this life. And that’s his only proof. There’s so many joys that do not assist in the propagation of the race or self-preservation. There’s no point whatsoever. They are so excessively, mind-bogglingly joy-producing that they distract from the very functions that are supposed to promote human life. They can leave you stupefied, monastic, not productive in any way, shape or form. And those joys are there and they are unflagging and they are ever-growing.

With Memorial Day weekend right around the corner, lots of us will be heading to barbeque parties or hosting one of our own. Here are a few ideas to keep your party vegan friendly and delicious!

Salads:

• Southwestern Potato Salad - a favorite of mine and a real crowd pleaser
• Shaved Spring…

They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.
