I'm back on Blue sky after a little bit of a hiatus! I plan on posting here again more often. Here are the last of the flowers I picked from our garden before we started getting freezing weather. Roses, calendula, nasturtium, borage, marigold. #veganbluesky #edibleflowers

Happy May Day! In Hawai'i, people celebrate May Day as Lei Day. I'm wearing a haku lei (head wreath) and a shawl with a fern given to me by my sister-in-law. Pic from 2017. . . . . #maydayisleiday #aapi #aapimonth #plantbasedpacific #veganhawaii

Did anyone else go shopping because of the tariff threats? I enjoy shopping on Weee for Asian food. I understand that food from across the world should cost more because it's not the most environmentally friendly, not because of someone's ego. 15% off in ALT tag #veganfood #veganbluesky #asianfood
Shopping haul from Weee.com
Get 15%off some of my favorite vegan items with this link. It makes Asian food shopping easy.

Met Giacomo at Honest Weight Coop in Albany, NY and he shared with me so enthusiastically his heritage wheat pasta. It's freshly made in Vermont. It's their vegan gnochetti sardi. Can't wait to try it for dinner. #vegan #veganfood #slowfood #supportlocalfood #pasta #foodcoop

Goodbye NotMilk! (My very last carton I stashed away when they disappeared from stores) You and I had a fun times! Sometimes you were good for me (baking vegan milk bread!), sometimes not so good if I was avoiding sugar. You'll be missed.I hope something else will come along that tastes like you!

The Blue-backed Parrot 🦜 of the #Philippines 🇵🇭 is #endangered due to massive #deforestation for #palmoil 🌴🪔🥩🔥⛔️ and #meat #agriculture. Support their survival in the supermarket, be #vegan and #BoycottPalmOil 🫶 #Boycott4Wildlife

Blue-backed Parrot Tanygnathus everetti
The Blue-backed #Parrot, also known as Müller’s Parrot or Burbridge’s Parrot, is a striking yet elusive #bird native to the #Philippines. Their shimmering blue and green plumage allows them to blend seamlessly into the forest canopy, making sightings of this rare species increasingly difficult. Despite once being common, the relentless destruction of their rainforest home and rampant #poaching for the #pettrade have pushed this parrot to the brink. They are now classified as #Endangered, they face ongoing population declines, with some local populations feared to be extinct. Without urgent conservation efforts, this vibrant parrot may vanish forever. Help them every time you shop and #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife

I received the @kingarthurbaking.bsky.social catalog and the January cover had this Big & Bubbly Focaccia! It's the Recipe of the Year for 2025! Boy,it's good - I made it twice in one week! It calls for a special pan but I just used a cast iron skillet. www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/big-...

I saw this stellar soup by Liz @zardyplants.bsky.social and finally made it! I found Jovial Goods GF rice stars and it turned out great, especially since this recipe uses 2 of my fav items: soy curls and better than bouillon no chicken base! zardyplants.com/recipes/vega...

Interesting article on crunchy moms. As someone who has been veg for almost 30 years and with a BS in Environmental Science I've watched my views on things evolve to think of the greater good and not just for myself. And I make good granola😉 www.nytimes.com/2024/12/18/w...

How the Right Claimed ‘Crunchy’
Once, eating whole foods and avoiding toxins was associated with a lefty worldview. Now, being a “crunchy mom” is more often about “health freedom.”

Along with cooking plant based food I also enjoy paper goods and crafts! I had been a subscriber to Flow magazine until they stopped releasing a US issue.😢 I bought this a month ago but with holiday gifting coming up, I'm going to put it to good use! There's even a cute ramen shop in there!

If you ever visit Burlington, VT, make sure to visit Pingala Cafe! All vegan and next to the Winooski river. They care about making food with local ingredients. We know that avocados don't grow in VT, so they even have avocado free guacamole! Pic: Omar Forever Burger. Their crunch wraps are awesome
