Vegetarian Star

“Life as a vegetarian is one long line of risottos.”

—-Author Mark Haddon, while reading a restaurant menu during an interview with The Independent.

Life can also be like a long line of portabello mushroom sandwiches, veggie burgers, salads or any other standard menu item placed there just to appease the vegetarians.

Even Forrest Gump couldn’t have stated it better.

You never know what you’re going to get–or how it’s going to taste.

Last week, Paul McCartney rented a gourmet mobile kitchen for $7,000 to make those 480 vegetarian meals a day his staff is fed to keep the tour going.

This seven grand gig is just a temp though–Paul’s own mobile kitchen is currently still under construction.

A representative from the company that rented the kitchen to Paul said it was everything you would expect from a five star resort kitchen.

Paul has completely banned meat from his tour.

Five star kitchen for five star meals?

As fellow vegetarian Bob Barker might say, sounds like the price is just right!

The White House was scheduled to welcome chefs from one of Planet Green’s latest shows, Future Food, this weekend for the annual Easter Egg Hunt.

According to a news release, Homaro “Omar” Cantu and Ben Roche took the south Lawn to create a snack for egg hunters made from organic, locally sourced fruit.

The theme for this year’s hunt was Ready, Set, Go!, in conjunction with First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! campaign  meant to squash childhood obesity.

Hope your Easter was as much fun as in D.C.

If you threw your own hunt in the backyard, hope you used cage-free eggs.

Better yet, next Easter aim to completely take animal products out of your hunt and have children look for something equally delicious like avocados or potatoes.

Missy Higgins has voiced support for Lentil As Anything, a pay by donation restaurant in Australia that provides job training and employment for refugees and homeless people at four sites in Melbourne.

According to The Age, the organization’s lease is set to expire at the end of this year and hints that higher rent tenants might replace it at its Abbotsford Convent site have been given.

The site employs 60 people and serves more than 500 vegetarian meals a day.

Vegetarian and activist Higgins said that as a “Melbourne institution” it bought a much-needed sense of culture and community to the convent.”

Convent Bakery owner and coalition member Arnold Salinas said that although his lease is good until 2016, whatever happens to Lentil as Anything could set an precedent for other businesses to come as the center is turned into a “shopping mall” atmosphere.

“Their driving force is not going to be any community spirit, it’s just going to be based on how much money can they really get out of their business,” he said.

Abbotsford Convent Foundation chief executive Maggie Maguire said the board is currently considering all options and that it has upheld the original vision for Abbotsford Convent, which was for an arts, culture and education precinct.

And although ACF’s budget is derived from leases and other events at the center “making a profit is never, ever a priority above our community,” Ms Maguire said.

Getting rid of healthy, good food and a place to restart for the less fortunate is never good for the community.

Hope the ACF and its tenants can come to agreement that benefits all.

Dave Matthews and his wife Jennifer Ashley Harper and their friends were spotted having dinner at The Vanderbilt, a restaurant in the Prospect Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y.

According to People, a source said the couple ate flash-fried broccoli and Brussels sprouts.

According to WikiAnswers, Flash frying is like stir frying, only quicker with super high heat.

Flash fried vegetables sound delicious, especially when seasoned with spices like garlic or onion, but the Veg Star would have likely opted for another vegetable besides Brussels sprouts.

Eww!

In last night’s Dancing with the Stars, each competitor had to tell a story through their dance for the evening without using any props.

Vegetarian and animal activist Pamela Anderson danced her legs away to a paso doble, and pretended to be a gypsy Flamenco dancer in both awe and disgust by the matador.

“I’ve always been an animal activist and always think bullfighting is senseless and violent,” said Anderson. “I think it’s a dance with the devil.”

Will Pamela’s story of passion for both a man and animals be enough to keep her from elimination?

You’ll have to watch the results show tonight at 8/7c on ABC to find out!

The Hump, the well known sushi restaurant in California that was caught serving illegal whale meat by the staff who created the Academy Award winning film, The Cove, might take seafood completely off the menu.

Owner of American Hi-Def who donated a boat to the Sea Shepherd Conservation, Ady Gil, told the LAist his lawyers have contacted the city of Santa Monica about leasing the space.

If successful, Gil would like to turn it into a vegan restaurant.

Maybe he will call upon the chefs of Planet Green’s Future Food to make a vegetarian watermelon sushi once the vegan hump is in operation.
