My local vegan only food truck stays winning. They were at an event last night for local artisan crafts like smithing and glass blowing. There were supposed to be 4 truck there but they were the only one that showed up. I know one wasn't there because some jackass stole their whole truck. I need to follow up on that because it was pretty shitty taking someone's means of living like that.
But as I was waiting for my buffalo "chicken" sammich last night, a family was standing next to me and was looking at the menu and the mom said "Wait, it's all vegan? Yuck!" and they left. I thought it was funny seeing people so judgemental in real life instead of dorks on the vegan subreddit pretending to be oppressed and talking about "but lions" and whatnot. In any case by the time I had my sammie eaten, the truck had like 20 people waiting on food and it wasn't letting up. They made bank I'm sure.
Ok story out of the way. Question: Can y'all share some of your favorite soup recipes? It's soup season here and I wanna change things up a bit from my chili and potato soup. Right now I'm thinking spicy black bean, something lentil, or my standby veggie mixed bean. But I want more variety for sure. I fucking love soup lol.
Edit to answer question of the week, sorry lol: Fucking goodbye gout flair-ups! Secondly, I'm a lefty of course but becoming more aware of both the ethical and the ecological issues behind factory farming has helped me further ground myself in my belief system. I fully believe that part of socialism absolutely should be animal liberation, both for stopping violent treatment and slaughter of animals but also for climate reasons. When I was first considering going vegan like 6 years ago, I was mostly gonna do it for climate reasons, but after working in the ag industry, I learned real quick how awful it really was and now do it for animal rights too. I'm 1.5 years vegan now and very vocal about it.
That reaction is absolutely ridiculous. It makes me cringe to think that there's people out there that would react in that way.
It was my first time seeing it in the wild so I'm gonna cherish it lol. They missed out on a bomb ass sandwich.
Those poor saps!!!
