Hi Lauren – the sushi spot is Arigato, right across from the Granada. It’s AMAZING!

Firstly, I just wanted to say that I *love* your blog! Keep doing what you’re doing! Secondly, I just was wondering what the name of the sushi restaurant you went to is? I live in Santa Barbara so I have my fingers crossed it was there :) Thanks!!

Congratulations on 5 years! I love that you have inspired your readers every step of the way! I have been vegan for a year and a half now. I even read your blog before I transitioned and always aspired to the lifestyle. I agree with you that going vegan was one of the most amazing decisions I have ever made!

On another note glowey happiness is radiating out of you! And I love the sneaky hints of your new beau.

Love and happiness to the both of you!

P.s that sushi looks amazing! It has given me so many ideas for combos to make at home.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! I came here to pull up the recipe for laundry detergent and I was pleasantly surprised by the life update! I am so happy for you and your klan!

Firstly, you’re lucky you’re so much thinner than I am or I’d stalk you if I had to in order to steal that amazingly stellar ladybug dress.

Secondly, hug your new beau for me. Seriously. I see Napoles all over the flea market here, but haven’t been brave enough to buy any because I had NO CLUE how to even begin to prepare one and when I tried to ask for help from the vendor there was a bit of a language barrier! I’ve heard they taste like a cross between asparagus and green beans, both of which the Wookie and I adore. Truth?

Congrats, sweetie.

Nopales are a big favorite of mine. You should try them pickled along with some some carrots, jalapenos and onions… great to add some spice to your meal.

And you are a fan of juicing IRRC… try a mixture of pineapple, parsley, celery, grapejuice and nopales, awesome to kickstart your morning.

(and for all your omnivore readers…. try making a hot salad sauteeing them with bacon and panela cheese). –Sayward, pretend you didn’t read this last bit, ok? :P

Are you kidding… that sushi is BEAUTIFUL! Gah! Congrats on the veganniversary, I too went vegan in August (1 year ago). Definitely an evolutionary decision. I ran into something yesterday that I encounter ALL the time… a lack of consistency in lifestyle choices fueled by values. Does that makes sense? This hairdresser that I found in Colorado owns an all vegan/organic shop. Of course I was excited and my boyfriend got his cut there yesterday. As we were all chatting though, turns out she still eats chicken, and sees herself as a potentially future vegan. This is so perplexing to me, to pick and choose where you apply your critical thinking. In effect, it’s all better than nothing, but STILL.

Congratulations! Someday you’ll have been vegan so long, you’ll lose count!

I never understood how you could blog so often & still maintain a life so although I’ll miss your posts, one a week seems more realistic.

I’d like to vote for my favorite which is this WWAW!
