Welcome to VEGAN MOFO 2012 Day 1

Welcome to VEGAN MoFo2012!

Great time will be had by all, 

especially the non-human animals that we help save by being Vegan!

This first week won't involve involve recipes or cooking 

since we in Houston are celebrating

TEXAS GO VEGAN WEEK!

(formerly Texas Vegging Out Days)

We're having meetup events each day, asking people to participate in a week long celebration of 

World Vegetarian Day (Oct. 1),

World Farm Animals Day (Oct.2) and

Vegetarian Awareness Month,

by patronizing our many wonderful vegan restaurants and vendors.

Many of them are offering discounts with the coupon below.

Pat Greer's Raw Kitchen is offering weekday lunch discounts, 

all week.

Featured meet up event for Day One was

Vegan Happy Hour,

by Chef Sabali 

Vegan Comfort.

Word is it was 

vegalicious!

I missed it, since I was giving a workshop across town to my

FASHIONISTAS 

group on

Replicating Ready-To-Wear

(saving that for a different blogging month

since the other members are non-vegans).

Being the vegalicious vegan foodie that I am,

I stopped by one of my favorite vegan establishments,

LOVING HUT

for dinner.

Spicy cha-cha

Yam-based protein, green and red bell peppers, celery, spicy seasonings, lettuce

and

spring rolls

Jicama, carrot, lettuce, tofu, onion, 

peanut, wrapped with rice paper

Happy October 1 Birthday to
