Vegetarian Star

Update: A reader named Leslie was able to locate the recipe. Click on link here or see comment on post. Thanks Leslie!

Nigella Lawson gave an interview with NPR to discuss all things involving love and food.

Lawson makes two suggestions for V-day dinner, one of which is vegetarian.

Interestingly enough, this dinner can be viewed as a labor of love for your sweetie, or forced labor on him/her if you make them help you chop the tomatoes, the task she considers to be the hardest.

“This would also be a lovely recipe to do if you don’t want to serve up something as if you were working in the restaurant, but wanted to have your partner with you and chatting. He or she could be chopping some tomatoes as well,” Lawson said.

In a first ever for the IFC, Portlandia, a comedy-sketch series that pokes fun of the left, has been renewed for a second season before season 1 has wrapped up.

Portlandia stars Saturday Night Live veteran Fred Armisen and his co-star, Carrie Brownstein, as they portray various characters that parody all things liberal. During the first episode, Armisen and Brownstein play a couple dining at a restaurant that professes to serve humane food that comes complete with a file on all the animals used for food,  including their photos. Not willing to take the waitress’ word, the couple pays a visit to the farm where the chickens are raised. This farm happens to be ran by a cult consisting of one man who happens to love multiple women, but makes room to enjoy his “Peter” (Armisen) on occasion too.

“I want everyone to join me in saying a big ‘no’ to milk from mega-dairies. Why should people put up with factory milk from battery cows when we’ve already proven we don’t want eggs from battery hens? It’s hardly the milk of human kindness. We can do better than this, so please go to www.notinmycuppa.com and tell the supermarkets how you feel about this today’.”

—Chrissie Hynde, on a proposal to bring Nocton Dairies, a mega-dairy farm to Britain. The facility would house several thousand cows in indoor sheds and require each animal to produce 10,000 liters of milk each year, some sources cite as being as much as 43% higher than the national average. Cows subjected to produce large volumes of milk like that is expected at a large farms are more likely to experience medical issues, such as mastitis, an infection in the cow’s udder.

Guys, if you’re going to take Olivia Munn out for Valentine’s Day, you better not show up in a horse and buggy.

When asked by PETA what her perfect idea for a V-Day date was, Munn answered: “The least romantic thing to do in New York or any other city is going on horse-drawn carriage rides. … [I]f you knew the pain and misery these beautiful animals endure just to fulfill the false symbol of uniting two hearts, it would actually break your heart. To see the horses in the harsh, cold weather being forced to cart people around the city is the farthest thing from romantic in my opinion.”

Moby has been a vegan for about half his life, but at a Wanderlust Festival Speakeasy Lecture series, the musician filled in the blanks about what his diet was like before he found the starving kitten in the dumpster that made him rethink his dedication to animals.

“Up until the time I was about 19 years old, I had nothing but disdain for vegetarians and vegans. There was a woman in my high school class and she refused to play softball because the mitt was made out of leather. And I just thought that was the stupidest thing I’d ever heard.”

“I don’t worry about somebody who’s already vegan. I’m interested in exposing this cuisine to people fighting heart disease or cancer. We lead the world in cancer, heart disease, stroke, obesity, and diabetes. Kids are obese and diabetic. I can’t imagine what it’s like to grow up that way.”

—Tal Ronnen, vegan chef and author of “The Conscious Cook,” who’s just signed up to expose Vegas fans to the vegan cuisine, as he’ll be creating dishes for the Wynn Las Vegas hotel menu.
