Vegan Boston. The Other Side. St. Louis Vivisection Conference. Project Nim Screening. Naomi Wolf Vagina. Steven Colbert.


The Other Side in Boston, Mass. (USA).  Nature Boy Platters, Hot Chili, and Guacamole.
Called "The Other Side" because it is on the other side of Mass Ave (from the rest of the strip).


The Other Side.  Boston. USA.
"The Other Side" in Boston.  Since Closed, which is a shame because apparently it was a fixture in the Back Bay for 20 years! Not a vegan place, but they had some vegan goods, and brews for the man.  This is part of the "Nature Boy" RAW platter.  Yep, a beer-bar type of place had raw food eats on the menu.  Insane & priced really well.  A huge platter of sliced veggies with 3 types of raw nut cheezes.  Way more filling that the typical "raw food entree" geared for breatharians in training.

 Hubby spent some College Years in the Boston area so always romanticized it a bit.  So we made a detour on our last trip to hang out there for a night.  It was bitter cold and the wind was brutal.  So walking around wasn't as enjoyable as it could have been.  We were thrilled to find this place.  Super comfy & chill vibe.  And with hot vegan chili!  

Guac to match.  Fresh food at a bar, what a concept!



Was thrilled that this plate was massive.  Made me never want to waste time dehydrating veggie chips when it was so much easier & better for ya to just eat them fresh.  

There were 3 types of "nut cheeses" and pates.  Cashews, Sunflowers, spices.  Kind of the "norm" for Raw food dips/pates.  But what a great idea!  So easy for them to whip up in food processor & then so little prep to run those veggies through a processor/slicer.  Wish more "regular places" would offer fresh foods like this!



This is the upstairs area, where we spent the afternoon!





Really nice bar area downstairs. Nice in a casual kind of way.  












Always a bummer when a place that has been in one area closes after 20 years.  But rumor has it that there may be a possibility of it reopening in another location.............And you can go to their FB page, where they may keep you informed of any news.  A place that has both raw food and beer??  That is a true "couple pleaser".  :)

Punjabi Style Cabbage (Band Gobi) from "Vegan Indian Cooking" book. Gluten Free Chickpea Flour Crepes (Besan Poora). Vegan "ChickFilet" Recipe from PETA. Jane Velez Mitchell, Walmart, Cruelty. Steven Colbert on Dogfighting, CongressMan Steve King, and D-bags.

I must have made at least a dozen recipes from this book, "Vegan Indian Cooking" by Anupy Singla, since it first arrived on my doorstep.  Love this one because cabbage is so healthy and also incredibly cheap, even organic.


Finished Punjabi Cabbage.  So delicious!


Ingredients for Chickpea Flour Crepes. 
Besan Poora
Think they should be thin crepes, in/on which you can scoop up your dals, chutneys, or whatever other delight you may have in front of you.  I made them thicker because of my attempts at making without much oil and also I really stink at making anything resembling pancakes.



Love that  Bob's has Certified Gluten Free products-not everything, but a decent line.


I made these in a cast iron pan, just because it resists burning that way.  First attempted with zero oil, but then I had to add a touch, just to get the pan oiled a bit.  If you have some spectacular, green, safe non stick type of cookware-then you could probably do it sin oil.

Seitan (Or Gluten Free Tempeh) Mulligatawny Soup


Other News:

Jane Velez Mitchell, fellow vegan, is unafraid to tackle the big stuff.  No one would touch these types of stories years ago, but with social media and increased awareness, it is now becoming actually "okay" to discus this.  Of course "they" want to make laws that make it illegal to photograph factory farms, and of course do any type of undercover work.  So no photos of the farms please folks, but apparently in the states anyone with any type of mental record or hate group involvement can buy any type of gun/assault weapon.  What I love is that you can't grow sustainable hemp, say anything about the agricultural industry that would affect their profit, or not wear seatbelts in your car.  But green light on the guns.  We are very pragmatic people.


If wanna be Vegans, Wanna be Cholesterol Free Sandwich eaters, Fast Food Addicts, or people who are boycotting the "Eat More Cock" place want a "Chicken Sandwich"-this link is for you. Vegans always boycott Chick-fil-a because of the suffering they cause animals.  So we didn't alter any routines in either direction for the hoopla about "traditional" marriage.  From what I can tell, "traditional" means marriage between a man and a woman.  The man spends hours a day surfing online porn, tweets his privates, gets hookers across the state lines, has multiple mistresses, and hanging out at lesbian bondage clubs on the RNC's dime.  Traditional Marriage of Politicians.  So obviously, all other marriage is flat out wrong.  


 And another Jane Velez Mitchell spot.  Yes.  The ChickenDisaster again.  What is so ridiculous about all of this is that we have a lot of issues going on in our country (U.S.) and that most Americans don't ever protest anything.  But that the largest "protest" that I have seen in awhile, across that nation, that is actually publicized (Democracy Now not included)-is to eat fast food for a day.  It's like drunks "protesting" a vote by drinking a bottle of JB.  But fried chicken suddenly makes everyone an activist.  I think Weight Watchers should have just had free signups right there-to work the line.  Or maybe Dr. Oz could have done his surprise "checks" and get some vitals on the protestors.  Slightly apathetic if "protesting" in the States is to eat at a fast food joint.

And Steven Colbert on Steve King, who appears to be a major D-bag and not really have an issue on dogfighting.  Because as humans, we don't have the ability to want to reduce the suffering of people and OTHER animals.
