I’m not personally interested in eating any form of meat anymore, whether lab grown or from an animal directly. But I think lab grown meat could be a great option for producing pet food for animals like cats, which the consensus is that they are obligate carnivores.

My nearby Sprouts grocery store carries a few types of vegan cheese from this company. I’ve enjoyed the ones I’ve tried so far.

This is why I prefer shows like Cirque De Soleil, because it’s all human performers who have chosen to participate in the program (and most are phenomenal atheletes). I wish I had a magic wand to make rodeos and circuses with captive animals disappear.

That is a remarkable achievement. I’m going on 7+ years myself. Regret I didn’t switch to a WFPB diet sooner.

Just noticed the Amazon link. I’ll add it to the next order.

Is this available in your local store or something you have to order online? I would be interested in trying it myself.

I hope they give your suggestion serious consideration. I’m planning to make your Cole slaw tomorrow and I’ll be sure to add some black salt to this salad.

I recall reading something about Teslas having a “pet onboard” setting that would run the A/C even while parked so that the interior cabin shouldn’t overheat. Of course there is no way of knowing if the owner of this abomination is actually using that feature.

I’ve chipped in as well even though I’m in CA. But we are all affected by what happens in the senate and it’s well past time for Collins to retire.

I was lucky enough to see PF live in ‘76 when they played at the Brewers Stadium in Milwaukee. They set up on home plate and had speaker towers on all 3 bases. Mostly played songs from these two albums. What a special experience that was.

I harvested my very first Reed avocado today from the tree I bought last summer. It weighed in just shy of 1.5 pounds and was about 5 inches long from top to bottom. It’s the only fruit that will be ready this year.

I would be curious what fraction of people on a WFPB diet are doing so only because of their conclusions that this style of diet benefits their health regardless of any other considerations (like benefits to animals and/or the environment). I’m vegan for all the positive benefits in offers.

I will be looking for this Alfredo sauce the next time I’m out shopping. I’ve tried their ketchup which doesn’t have any added sugar and thought that was very good.

I’ve got all those ingredients and already use them when I make my own tofu scramble. Another trick I use to help make tofu scramble a little more like scrambled eggs is to use some Just Egg to coat the tofu. I use around 1/4 cup of Just Egg and crumble in extra firm tofu. Add spices and voila!

Jeff @jeff-in-sd.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
Sometimes I get lucky that my local Sprouts grocery will discount a package of Just Eggs if it’s within a week of its “sell by” date. This package was more than 45% off.

Jeff @jeff-in-sd.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
That looks very tasty. I’ll have to search out that scramble seasoning mix and try making this myself.

One of my favorite bands when I first started listening to music many years ago. I had at least one LP that I nearly wore out listening to.

Jeff @jeff-in-sd.bsky.social · 09/06/2026
It is also illegal in the State of California to declaw a cat unless absolutely necessary in cases where the cats health is in jeopardy. Illegal just for convenience reasons.

Yes, drinking raw milk is a catastrophically stupid idea. What's ironic is that many people mocking it still support dairy consumption — a practice with horrible costs for the climate, environment, public health, and animal welfare. They're debating shades of the same mistake.

Lots of coyotes here in San Diego county. I’ve always kept my feline roommates inside and it’s never been a problem in all the years I’ve been lucky enough to share my home with them. They have plenty of toys and perches by windows to watch birds. They show no interest in trying to go outside.

Looking at that magnificent creature makes me wonder how anyone would ever think they had the right to hunt them.

San Diego Gas and Electric charges us a $15 connection fee but I’m still happy to make my own electricity plus a 10 kW battery to run things once the sun goes down.

You had A/C? My Geo Metro did not. It was a real “fun” experience driving from Il to CA in June back in 2002 with no A/C. My left arm got pretty sunburned hanging out the open window as I drove west. And driving up the Rockies on the interstate was very slow going. Just tucked in behind semis.

The era of two toned cars was really nice. Strongly considering a paint update on my Honda Fit to make it red above the belt line and white below.

I enjoy this product very much. You can amp up the eggy flavor by sprinkling a little black salt after cooking. I also like to use it to coat crumbled super firm tofu. I use about 1/4 cup of Just Egg, add a touch of salt and pepper, and crumble in tofu and mix. Cook like scrambled eggs.

Good size crowd up here in Rancho Bernardo along Bernardo Center drive. Maybe 5K folks by my guesstimate. Glad to hear a big group in downtown SD. #NoKingsSD

Happy to be taking part in the No Kings rally here in Rancho Bernardo, a neighborhood up in northeast San Diego. Guesstimate around 4-5K folks turned out here, with many more at the downtown San Diego protest rally. It’s a warm sunny mid 80’s day here and still time to join us. #NoKings

Planning to go to my local Rancho Bernardo rally new Saturday. We have had a surprisingly good turnout for this sleepy part of the SD community at past protests, so I’m expecting a big crowd this time as well.

After a couple 80 F days here in San Diego, signs of spring are showing up. Looking forward to seeing the spring foliage on a young Acer palmatum “Winter Orange”.
