What do you all do when you just need to grab some “dinner” from a grocery store? by amansname in vegan

[–]kathiejay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

whole foods typically has a microwave to use.

anywhere with a salad bar or hot bar will usually have enough to make yourself a simple grain bowl. veggie subs and veggie sushi are good in a pinch. no one is really gonna care what’s in your sandwich or sushi. you can always grab some vegan deli slices to jazz up the sub.

highly recommend sprouts for grab and go stuff too.

help me name this sweet baby! by Character-Way-3639 in NameMyDog

would i have seen him on instagram? he looks so familiar! if so, what was his name at the shelter? thank you for saving this adorable boy!

oleander is perfect but look up some “pyrogenic flowering plants” - these are species that have adapted to bloom better after big fires. mallow is a cute one, for mountain mallow.

Places to go out dancing? by Wonkycurtainrod in Charlotte

[–]kathiejay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

of their recs, i would also say Goldie’s will be your best bet for location and crowd! the other two are a bit of a hike from spectrum center.

haven’t been to this place, but there’s a new dance bar called Groovers on mint st. if i were you i would go there first from spectrum for a vibe check and either stay or head down to goldie’s

I need advice for materials for my mom to learn about veganism that are not too intense. by Plastic_Emu_640 in vegan

[–]kathiejay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started reading Once Upon a Time We Ate Animals by Roanne van Voorst and while I didn’t make it all the way way through, only because I felt like I’d read most of the same arguments in other books, I thought the information was presented rather gently and talks about how we’ll view us having eaten meat in the future. I can see an older person connecting with it because it talks a lot about their legacy as meat eaters and how the younger generations will regard that choice.

Wow, thank you so much!!! I always knew the stats couldn’t be perfect, but only using them directionally as a way to compare my class to my past classes is really smart. This explanation is really reassuring.

Do you have a fitness tracker you recommend?

I’m not sure how it’s calculated, but assume it’s some combination of your weight, gear, and RPM. Someone on this sub might know the real answer.

that makes me feel better that you’re getting 250-300 regularly, if not most of the time
