I don’t care for Peta.  I think they are a little crazy and more than a little hypocritical.  I like the overall message, but the details leave me spinning in confusion.  The slogans are pure and catchy.  The rhetoric is pitiful and crazy.  But on more than one occasion I have seen the cookbook “Cooking with Peta” mentioned  with such descriptives as “quick”, “easy”, & “for picky eaters”.  But every time I’ve gone to a bookstore this title has not been one that they keep in stock.  But during my weekend visit to the Portland area I had the extreme displeasure of visiting Powell’s Bookstore where I found a used copy for under $10.  That, along with my Flying Spaghetti Monster car decal was enough to validate my parking in their sorry excuse for a parking garage.

I spend the second half of my long weekend thumbing through this cookbook making mental notes and marveling at the simplicity of these recipes.  I’m especially grateful that most of the recipes involve things I probably already have around the house.  This is most appreciated since I am more broke than usual these day.

I’m sure that anyone still reading this blog would like to read about the great vegan eats I had while in the Portland area, but they would be sadly disappointed.  I was not spending time with Vegans and I don’t know the Portland area well, so my Veg splurges where in the form of copious amounts of Go Max Go candy bars at Whole Foods.

Stay tuned for actual cooking results soon!
