wildfires in San Diego County

it has been two infernal days in North County
San Diego, yesterday there were 9 fires going on!
The high temperatures and low humidity are
the most dangerous combination to create fires
The Santa Ana winds conditions keep fueling
the fires, Santa Ana winds happen typically
in September and October, when it is fire season
it is only May but after years of drought
California is hot & dry
and there are global warming deniers out there!

  • NEW: The number of raging fires falls to eight, from three dozen overnight
  • NEW: A total of 9,987 acres are now scorched earth
  • NEW: A fire in San Marcos is now firefighters' No. 1 priority
  • Thousands are ordered to evacuate; schools across region close
tomorrow temperatures will start cooling off
and the winds will start coming from the shore instead
of coming from the East, we are hoping for some relief!

May 14, 2014 at some point there were 9 separate fires in the county!
Check this gallery!

quick vegan delights

I keep on discovering fantastic vegan food
every day, I don't have time to cook
very sophisticated meals, but I rely on simple
quick 5-minute preparation vegan dishes every day
here a few:
crispy Tempeh with Sriracha sauce

Chana Masala chickpeas with brown rice and veggies

Dr. Praeger's veggie burger on Ezekiel 4:9 bread

black beans with heirloom tomatoes & cayenne pepper

a favorite: yam scramble!

Dr. Praeger's veggie burger on Ezekiel 4:9 bread AGAIN!

hummus with spinach & yellow bell peppers with cayenne

steamed kale with grape tomatoes and raw garlic spread (fantastic!)

mangoes with flax & chia seeds, the healthiest dessert ever!

pigs pain

Is the pleasure of a strip of bacon or a sausage
for a couple of seconds in your mouth worth
YEARS of pain & the life of an animal??

please be compassionate with these beautiful creatures,
99% of the pork products come from factory farms,
and the other 1% from animals killed horrible
with a knife to their throats,
please do NOT eat animals!

Is the pleasure of a strip of bacon or a sausage
for a couple of seconds in your mouth
worth YEARS of pain & the life of an animal??

pigs spend over 2 years in gestation crates where they cannot turn around!

Vegan Outreach at the Cinco De Mayo Celebration

Fresh from Mercy For Animals leaflets and

Speciesism: The Movie

Don't miss this movie!
It is rather informative, and it talks about
one of the things that we do every day, our food!
It is eye-opening, provoking and
sometimes VERY FUNNY too!


It is a great exercise to stop and
reevaluate your life & society,
the daily things we take for granted as OK,
remember it was OK not long ago to own another person,
it was OK for women not to vote,
STOP for a little and try to see "from the outside"
the way you live your life everyday,
what you eat, what you wear, what you say, what you think
& then think again, watch this film,
many things won't make sense and then they will!
