As a Californian living in Vancouver, I long for avocados... I'm sure it's egregiously expensive to ship a box like this across the border, unfortunately :(

Or what about just having something of the appropriate size/weight that you could hang over the edge of the glass, not making contact with the tea but suspending the tea ball?

LOL.

But really, there are other things out there that float and could serve this purpose. I can't think of any, but, you know...

Okay, I think I might need to modify what I just said-- I say that "I only cook vegan," because I do, and "I mostly eat vegan," which I think accounts adequately for the bi-monthly exception I make to an otherwise vegan diet. I hope I don't piss anyone off by throwing the term around too loosely myself... And maybe there are people who think you can't be, you know, vegan part of the time, because it's a lifestyle thing. But I think that part of the time counts for something because, like I said, all my cooking efforts are vegan.

About the vegan/non vegan thing. Like Margaret I eat no dairy (or eggs); I eat only fish, and that means a small portion about every six weeks, never cooked by me. Pretty much just when I go for sushi. So, all my cooking efforts are in fact entirely vegan. I totally get how annoying it could be to have people throw the term around too loosely. I usually say that "I pretty much eat vegan," and I think it's okay.... I guess I wouldn't say I "am sort of vegan" or something like that because it seems more definitive.

Saying that she's "not even vegetarian" kind of discounts the fact that she doesn't consume dairy... If there is a spectrum of animal product consumption with veganism at one end, I don't think having one kind of meat (meaning fish) included in your diet automatically puts you at the other extreme, especially when most other animal products are excluded from the diet.

Anyhow, I have a similar situation with my Dad, so this post is perfect. (Going home for the holidays tomorrow and I've promised to do lots of cooking.) The suggestions are great. Maybe I will cook some fish, but I don't really know where to start with that. I guess my real hope is to get him to want to eat the same diet as me, haha. How bout some tempeh, Dad?

Gotta back up garmonbozia. I'm pretty sure "ethnic" is assuming a caucasian readership. The term is useless to me-- if it really includes all groups of people, why use it at all?-- and possibly offensive to others.

All the food sounds DELICIOUS. Definitely a lot of things I now want to try.

I think virtualjess meant coconut milk should be substituted... and I would have to agree. Was excited that this might be dairy free when I first saw it.

I've definitely seen a handful of honor stands in my West Coast travels over the years, and yes, all in rural areas. Definitely more in British Columbia than the states though. (I guess those ones would be honoUr stands :) )
