My Lovely Mother
Me: Yeah, so a few years after law school, I would like to do a Masters...
Mom: By then you'll be married!
Me: Um, well, I don't think I'll ever get married.
Mom: Why not?
Me: I doubt I'll find someone like me and I'll only get married if I find someone like me.
Mom: And what are you like?
Me: Vegan & crazy. There's probably no one like me out there.
Mom: I'm sure there are vegans out there.
Me: Yeah but are they crazy?
Mom: Well after *he* has lived with you, he'll probably be just as crazy as you.
Me: *burst out laughing on a full bus after this conversation in Punjabi*
I loved that she accepted the vegan condition

Vegenaise brand recommendations?
So, I went to the store to buy ingredients for vegan potato salad and came back with a bunch of delicious things (marinated tempeh, almond butter, vegan butter, and a vegan cupcake)…but none of the ingredients. What threw me off was there was more than 1 brand of vegan mayo.
Here I thought that being vegan would equal less choices but no: first I stand in the vegan milk aisles debating...

Day 1: Vegan Pledge
Note: While writing this, I realized it’s more like a diary-entry than a post to engage with people. I acknowledge this, but this is part of what I want Comradia to be about.
Today was my first official vegan day of the pledge I decided to take (it’s for one week). I actually was intentionally vegan the last two days, started early because my latest conceptualization of dairy has led...

Tofurky Vegan Pizza?
I’ve been eyeing the Tofurky Vegan Pizza in the freezer aisle, but I’m a bit hesitant. Do any of you recommend it (or not recommend it)? And which one?

Vegan Gulab Jamun Suggestions?
I’m having gulab jamun cravings and while my vegan pledge doesn’t start until Friday, my latest reflections on the subject make my stomach churn when I consider the “confectionization” of cow milk. I won’t bother getting into the details, but essentially I need to find a vegan way of satisfying my gulab jamun cravings.
I’ve found two recipes:

Silly Things that I'm Proud of: My Nutrition
So, I got my blood test results back from the doctor today. Turns out both my iron and vitamin B12 levels are excellent! I’ve been (ovo-lacto) vegetarian for 8 years and people constantly feel this need to ask about my nutrition. As a result, I get a kick out of telling them my nutrition levels are good! (Take that nosy bastards! I find it ridiculous that people who are only my acquaintances...

My Vegan Pledge
So, I’ve decided I’m going to try it out for a week. I’m going to start on 24 February 2012 and commit for a full week to start off (so until 2 March 2012). I figure this will be soon enough to capitalize on my motivation, but still give me time to plan ahead. It’s also less daunting of a commitment to start off with a week.
I’ve been vegetarian (ovo-lacto) since I...

Ethical Nail Polish
I’m realizing how many of my products are produced in unethical ways. I’m looking for nail polish brands for now, I absolutely love purple colours. Any suggestions for ethical nail polish brands?

A Friendly Valentine's Day
I had my 2nd Annual Valentine’s Day heart-shaped pizza with my best friend.
It’s slightly misshapen. But it was pretty good. Although, to be honest, I had like two slices. I was too busy talking non-stop. I talk too much.

Some Observations on Being Effective in (Law)...
This is a post more for myself. I’m finding writing (typing) things down quite helpful. It helps me organize my thoughts. But the overall gist of it is what I should be doing differently to be a more effective student. After writing it, I realize that it may be useful to people who want tips to do better in school…but I make no guarantees or promises or anything to that effect...
