Australian Shepherd/Dachshund

Someone suggested that Dexter might be an Australian Shepherd/Dachshund mix and after looking at this video … I think they might be right!

It would explain his funny hair and gray patches. Plus he has an oddly coloured eye like Australian Shepherds have.

Monkey Bunch

I want to hear The Monkey Bunch perform on “Q” with Jian Ghomeshi!! Can you please “like” this facebook campaign??

I’m trying to get enough “likes” so Jian notices and books the band on his show.  🙂

If Betty White can get on SNL because of Facebook then why can’t The Monkey Bunch go bananas on the radio? 🙂

Vegan Oprah

Did you watch the vegan Oprah show yesterday? What did you think?

If you missed it there are some clips on her website that you can view HERE.

As a long-time vegan I found the show to be frustrating but on the positive side I think Oprah always does a great job of planting seeds.

While the show was not what I personally thought it should be or could be … I think Oprah has opened the dialogue door a little wider and that’s a good thing.  🙂

I don’t know if Oprah has a follow up vegan show planned but I would love to be on her show!! I love Oprah. You don’t understand. I LOVE OPRAH!! I’ve never missed a show. I know you think I’m exaggerating but since she first aired in Sept of 1986 I have been a rabid fan. 4pm is Oprah time. Everyone knows not to disturb me during my “Oprah time”. 🙂

If you could take a few minutes to write to Oprah about me and my cookbooks and how the books have impacted your life … perhaps that will be the little push it will take to get  me on the show. Please tell your friends, ask your neighbors. Let’s make this happen!!

Renee

I got a really sweet letter from Renee yesterday. Totally made my day.  🙂

Hey Sarah,
Just wanted to say thank you (x 100) for the Vegan a go-go book. We’ve been doing a round the world trip and it has been a life saver. It has been part of so many hostel kitchens and has helped us eat good, healthy meatless foods wherever we go.  It has also started up many conversations and many new discoveries with some of the people we’ve met. I can certainly say that people from the Netherlands to all the way to Turkey have enjoyed looking through your cookbook and have asked “where can you get this?”. Sarah’s place! Thanks so much and I’m happy to be able to share your creativity with people from all over and to say “yes, most Canadians are this cool”.

Thanks, Merci, Dunka, Grazie, Efaristo, Tesekurler from me and the other food-lovers that I’ve met around the world – Renee

2011 GoVegan Calendar – February

Dear Madonna. I totally scammed your look for the Feb photo. Get over it. You ripped from Marilyn … so …  🙂

Big props to Steven Meisel the photographer for the Like A Virgin cover photo … it’s such an iconic album cover and I hope we did it justice.

In our version I’m wearing a combination of dresses. Originally I was going to wear my wedding dress but I’ve put on a few lbs since the wedding so I couldn’t even zip it up.  🙁

We tried to shoot the photo without zipping up the dress in the back but it didn’t look right so I folded down the bodice of the wedding dress and just used the bottom of the dress for the fluffy part and put on another dress for the top half.

The other dress is a vintage number that I’ve had in my closet but have never worn because the bottom of the skirt showcases a fox-hunt. It’s the weirdest creepiest print but the dress itself is fabu and I keep meaning to take it to someone to make me a duplicate in a more vegan friendly fabric.  🙂

The rhinestone “vegan” belt buckle is something I’ve had for YEARS. I don’t actually remember how or where I got it but when we decided to do the photo I remembered the buckle and knew it would be perfect to replicate that “boy toy” buckle Madonna sported. I guess being a pack-rat really does pay off sometimes.  🙂

Lastly … the bouquet. I made it out of radishes and baby’s breath (FYI. The name “baby’s breath” really creeps me out). The bouquet was so cute … I kind of felt bad when I ate it with dinner.

This shoot was difficult. Not only did I feel chubby (because I couldn’t fit into my wedding dress anymore) but laying on your back trying to do a “come hither” look while you’re trying to push out your boobs, not have neck rolls and hide the fact that you’re wearing two different dresses was exhausting. *laugh* But I think we got a good shot and I’m really proud of how it turned out.

And lastly… the recipe.

Like A Virgin Fresh Cherry Pie.

Hee hee …

I don’t know why we decided to have this recipe for Feb. You can’t get good fresh cherries in Feb…

What were we thinking?

This recipe is so good. It will make your mouth feel like it’s eating cruelty free “for the very first time…

Autograph

Sometimes at book signings you guys are embarrassed to have me sign your food stained cookbooks.

Let me tell you something …a dirty cookbook is the BIGGEST compliment.  🙂
