Way to Go, New York Times!!

Okay, didn’t have time to read all of this (babysitting for one of Bush’s speachwriters tonight — seriously.), but it seems like NYT is covering something with a little more depth today. There’s an article about the Farm Sanctuary in Watkins Glen, NY. Someone read it and tell me how it is.

EDIT: So. The ending of that article was a let-down, huh?

ALSO! The Poplar Springs Animal Sanctuary needs volunteers this weekend. Here’s a thread about it over at the PPK forums. They’re short on volunteers due to the Taking Action for Animals thing going on this weekend.

Way to go, New York Times.

NYT wrote an article about Sticky Fingers Bakery. But it’s not very interesting.

Don’t waste your time, actually.

It wouldn’t make much sense…

Okay, I have some sad news: I’m moving to North Carolina. I’ve decided I want to pursue a degree in Geography, which isn’t offered at AU. I’ll be taking a year off between schools and then hopefully going to UNC. So I suppose it wouldn’t make much sense for me to keep up a blog called Yum, DC! (I’m going to do my best to start one in NC, but we’ll see.)

The good news? This blog will (hopefully) not end! I’m going to pass it on to my friend, Scott Lane who is an experienced vegan here in the District. In fact, he’s been helping me hit up all the vegan places I haven’t experienced in my last two weeks. Here’s what we had at our trip to Great Sage last week…

Scott had a club sandwich.

I had a roasted vegetable sandwich.

We had a vegan sundae.

Seriously.

THE FARM BILL SUCKS.

I could write a ten page paper (oh wait — I did that) on how much I hate this disgusting piece of complicated legislation. Michael Pollan (okay, I know a lot of vegans hate him, but I don’t) wrote a great piece on it a while back in the NYT. I would bitch more about it, but I’m at work. And Michael Pollan’s take on it is probably a way more engaging argument.

 Oh. Here are some brownies I made for my friend Leah who just left for South Africa. The recipe is mine, but it needs some work. I’ll post it once I get a chance to make more brownies. My friends are lying a state of sugar-induced a coma from all the baking I’ve been doing, so it may not be any time soon.
