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:  

Can you change Mexican food in the Bay Area? This taqueria is on a mission

By Cesar HernandezFeb 17, 2024
A lot of people don't want to change Mexican food!  Did they want to be sure to leave "vegan" out of the headline the way they did for the vegan cookie that won Best chocolate chip in the Bay Area and the study with 23 sets of twins that showed better health results for the twins on the vegan diet?  To be fair, I should acknowledge that the headline on the full page of Food and Wine section DOES use the V word:  "Bold vegan vision of Mexican food."

The Lunar New Year Banquet the San Francisco Vegan Society sponsored was good but a bit rushed.  This year I managed to host some friends.  In the past I always waited too long, so they were always sold out.  

I tried to make a montage of photos of the food, but after I selected 10 plates, only one was selected. 

Here's Christy Griffin, our president, telling about upcoming events.  We have Earth Day in April, Pride in June, our World Veg Fest in October and various eat-outs (I always seem to miss) in between the big events.

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.
