Natural animal connection
September 9, 2012
We all have it. Ability to “talk to” and “hear from” animals using non-verbal form of communication. We, all living and sentient beings, have ability to communicate with each other. This also means to be able to listen what others have to tell us.
It might be hard for you to grasp if you come from the upbringing where all of your attempts at compassion were curbed and you were forced to express your emotions only through pride and conquest. The voice deep down in your head still lives despite all of that, and still when you see pictures of cruelty against other sentient beings you turn your head, because you know that it was wrong.
Thanks to the modern media and to the internet we all can share and learn stories of “amazing” acts of non-human animals. Read the rest of this entry »
Vegan views on cancer
February 28, 2012
This is something that I stumbled upon quite recently. I guess it explains why vegans are perceived as ‘militant’. Compassion and animal rights aside, we simply feel and see long-term health patterns forming and it pisses us off that people hurt self ( and other non-human animals along the way ) and then go on complaining about self-inflicted pain and being the burden on society. Just like if their lives and health were not their own personal responsibility.
I just had a surreal conversation with a friend who’s just been diagnosed with cancer.
It amazes me how most people are comfortable being brainwashed into believing disease is a death sentence, unable to be affected by a change in lifestyle. Read the rest of this entry »

Vegan Coconut Oaties
So, once again I went for my trusty oat cookie recipe. This time I was totally out of cranberries and raisins (forgot to restock after Christmas). After going through my pantry all what I found fit for the job was a bag of forgotten shredded coconut. Why not. Read the rest of this entry »

Simple Raw-ish Stew
September 1, 2011
This recipe is for lazy yet savvy and practical people. I created it on a go when I was originally cooking the rice plus wild rice combo as a side dish for cooked veggie mix. However I put too much water, and it was simply a shame to pour all of the taste and nutrients out the drain. The veggies were chopped and ready for processing, so i decided to put them in a pot with boiling rice instead. Because the rice was almost done I cooked the whole thing only for about 5-10 minutes, which resulted in awesome fresh taste of semi-raw stew. Carrot and most of all garlic were soft on the outside yet fresh on the inside which gave amazing taste and texture combination and the onions which were cooked till they got transparent while still being crunchy at the same time were awesome as well. Whole stew is vegan. Read the rest of this entry »
