We're back in Vancouver now after an awesome trip. Here are a few of the pics we took at the red and black cafe in Portland. Thanks again for coming out and having lunch with us Robert, Loveliberate, and Lotus - so nice to meet you guys!! Next time we'll spend a little more time in Portland - what an amazing city for Vegans. http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o56/veganunderground/portlandvisit.jpg http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o56/veganunderground/portlandvisit4.jpg http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o56/veganunderground/portlandvisit3.jpg

Come visit us again Robert! I'm 40 pages in on Dr. G's 80/10/10 book. Awesome read. Hey Tasha - Trev, Brody and I will be in Victoria on October 19th for the day and the night. Then we're heading up island on the 20th to visit family. Are you around? Wanna hook up?

I have horrible nighmares after watching movies like this.

Totally forgot to post pics. Here are some: Trev and Gee at the Taste of Health http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o56/veganunderground/TrevandGeeTasteofHealth2007.jpg Suz, Gee and Tasha back at our place for dinner http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o56/veganunderground/TRV_0695.jpg Tasha's Raw Salad http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o56/veganunderground/TRV_0693.jpg Our Indian Butter Chicken (with no butter and no chicken) and Jasmin Rice http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o56/veganunderground/TRV_0694.jpg

Oh WOW does that ever look good!!! Trev and I devoured a Tofurkey feast on Sunday night. We should have probably opted for mostly raw too... I'm still bloated and now my wheat allergies are back. Happy Thanksgiving!

We saw Angela Stokes and Matt Monarch talk at the taste of health together. So inspiring. Might see if i'm available for this...

It was a mini VV for sure with Tasha, Gee, Trev and Suz hooking up for the Taste of Health weekend in Vancouver. We've never had so many vegans crash at our house before. Good times. Tasha even brought Potter's mug with her. Next time it'll be a Victoria weekend. Pics to follow.

If you have a car, definitely drive.

Dr. Pink, that would be cannibalism. I think they're referring to animal placentas and animal fetuses.

We just signed on as volunteers for this event. Looks like Trev and I will be official photographers. Tasha -- we definitely have to meet up, we'll be there both days (all day long probably).

Anyone here play counter-strike? It was slowly sucking my life away so I stopped playing, but I have fond memories.

Awesome post, andesuma!

I'm tempted to make Banannaise but I can't bring myself to ruin a perfectly good banana.

I don't get cheese cravings anymore, but when I did I satisfied it by making vegan mac and cheese. I made the "cheese" part by mixing miso paste, vegetarian yeast and olive oil. Add water to thin it out but keep it pretty thick for the most "cheese" like texture. Eat it quick and hot though because it'll congeal pretty quick.

You probably need to get this program too: http://www.utorrent.com/. Can't wait for the new season of TUF!!

maybe, but you forget what to wear - sandals? and helmet, shinpads... Here's a shot of Gee doing a drop gap: http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o56/veganunderground/Gee.jpg

I was out shooting a trials rider friend last weekend and I hopped on his bike for a bit. I haven't ridden in over a year... but as the saying goes, you never forget how to ride a bike. http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o56/veganunderground/SundayRide.jpg

Thanks for the great advice Lindsay76 and Gaia!! I won't feel too bad about only going once a week for now and see about upping it in the future...

Take the bull by the horns! Do the research about where to dine out in cities that you're visiting and invite them out for dinner before they have the chance to invite you. There is a wicked raw restaurant in Toronto called 'Live', next time drag your friends there. I totally agree with ljk11 - they are the ones being rude if they force you into eating anything.

Awesome vid! Thanks for posting, Bigbwii.

Awesome pics -- I love Sydney.
