So I had my own plate, pictured here--quite pretty and delicious. But I really didn't want it to be just for me. Afterwards I thanked the chefs--Tim and Paul-- for making something "good for the planet and good for animal welfares."
"No single food choice has a farther-reaching and more profoundly positive impact on our health, the environment, and all of life on Earth than choosing vegan." ABC (Alternative Baking Co.) Also, it's delicious. (Don't believe what you hear about vegan freaks.)

I had hoped that these good friends would realize how good food could be without any dead or suffering animals. I was grateful that the "meeting" part of this SFVS gathering seemed no more than acknowledging Menny Ly, the creator of the menu, who spoke briefly.
I know the usual thing is to give the link, but I need a picture, and I haven't yet made it to Venganza in Oakland. It's open only at night.
But here's a link: https://www.sfchronicle.com/food/restaurants/article/taqueria-la-venganza-review-18649548.php
I'm a little bit worried about the headline it leads to:
I tried to make a montage of photos of the food, but after I selected 10 plates, only one was selected.

Today Teresa's hairdresser, whose parents are from the same village in Portugal as Mary's parents, joined us at the Farm Shop in Larkspur, and she brought cookies from a recipe Bill Clinton had shared--obviously before he became a vegan in 2010. This contradiction to elude the public I later found online either.
Before I got on the ferry for Larkspur, I was happy to find Reems open because they were closed when I was there the Monday before last with Ruth and Melanie, and they make the cookie that won the SF Chronicle's blind taste test for the Best Chocolate Chip Cookie in the Bay Area. I got three, not knowing we'd have a fourth.

Jan brought vegan coffee cake she'd gotten from I don't remember where.
What's missing in these very vegan-positive features?
