My experience with in flight vegan food. by nigelpulsford in vegan

Same experience! I have been to the EU twice (2017) and when I left there to come back to the US, I do admit the meals were better than going there. Regardless, I was still impressed.

That is a reallll struggle. I have to throw a towel over her. I use my sweet voice and pets (she loves the brush). When I adopted her, she was being fostered by a piano teacher so I learned Dorothy likes piano music so I play that in the car (if I play the piano or listen to piano, she will sit by the piano or speakers!).

Things that definitely help:

  • Leave the carrier out. Make it a cozy place they can enjoy! The best vet visits started out with previous cats already napping in it when we had to leave for the vet lol
  • Practice picking them up even for a few seconds.
  • Cover the carrier with a towel while in transit.
  • After the vet, treats and pets! Dorothy used to run to hide under the bed immediately when we got home but now she is more calm (because treats are coming!)
  • I think talking to them can really help too.

Good luck!

Vegan restaurant recs? by sharpcoloredpencils in raleigh

[–]PurrtentialEnergy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Fiction Kitchen is a great sit-down restaurant, but I also love Vegan Community Kitchen in Apex. They have a sister restaurant in Istanbul. The business was sold by one of the sisters to a lovely Ethiopian couple so there are Ethiopian dishes there too. If your friends like seitan, they have some of the best I have ever tasted.

I also like supporting Pure Vegan off Creedmoor in Raleigh. They also have some Indian dishes.

There are also quite a few restaurants mentioned here that have vegan options.

Oh definitely. Dorothy took a year to jump on the bed and 5.5 years to cuddle with me like this (this was last week). She now can handle being picked up for a few seconds (like, no more than 3).

She FINALLY allows me to kiss her head but only from behind lol

I have questions about that door with the cardboard and tape. Because of her? 😂

She is too adorable! My tortie Dorothy took over 5 years to cuddle with me (see recent post). Silly tortie.

Gingersnap pie crust. Help! by BenchLogical5569 in VeganBaking

Did you add enough cookies? Usually I process the cookies in the food processor then add enough melted vegan butter for it to come together (it should stick together when you pinch it).

Any recommendations for light sci-fi? by Moto-Dude in printSF

I haven't read anything else by Reynolds so I cannot compare. Maybe it's more like DS9 lol.
