I was at the local grocery store and happened to spot this Lexus with a super-chromed out bumper. What a way to ruin a car! I assume it’s to protect his bumper from scratches. Apparently this is what you have to resort to when you drive around in a big, over-priced boat.

Once, in the same lot, there was a car parked in a handicap spot. It was more than a straight up park job, to say the least. Upon walking into the store, I noticed that the driver had actually drove into the handicap signage, leaving it askew and almost falling over, and left it parked in that exact position. Way to go.

I like my ride, so I make it a point to park away from obvious, accident-prone drivers. Doing otherwise is just asking for trouble.

Oooo.. look at that. I usually have to take the last half of an Aux Vivres sandwich home to munch on as a snack. As previously mentioned, I just discovered that Dragon Sauce makes their BLT (on chapati) a lot better. The Dragon sauce is so amazing that I could do shots of the stuff on its own. Seriously.

One day I was sitting at the counter during the crowded brunching hour and the person next to me questioned the ingredients of this magical sauce after polishing off a Dragon bowl. The girl working the counter read out, “nutritional yeast, turmeric, garlic, miso, maple syrup and flax oil”. It was pretty loud, but that’s what I heard. So there you have it.

I haven’t attempted proportions yet but if you guys figure it out, have ideas or want to share your own version, go nuts and leave a comment here.

This video doesn’t feature vegan food, rather vegetarian, but it shows promise in what you can do with a ceiling light, an iron and an electric kettle. Take that, MacGyver.

I’ve traveled a bit in Europe for business so I know how hard it is sometimes to eat well while battling jetlag. But I’ve never gone to these lengths to feed myself. I can only boast going to the nearest grocery store and buying ready-made items. I usually pick out fresh fruit, pita bread, soy yogurt, dark chocolate and anything else that’s interesting. If there are vegan-friendly frozen meals, and I have access to a microwave, I’ll take full advantage.

Which reminds me… have you ever had these soy taquitos? They’re so freaking amazing, I wish I was eating them right now… unfortunately I can’t find them here in Montreal. If anyone from Starlite Cuisine is reading this, please make this happen.

Don’t make me figure out my own recipe!
You’ve been warned.

IKEA’s got this cute interactive microsite for their annual “One $ is a fortune” campaign, in conjunction with UNICEF and Save the Children. For every toy you buy from IKEA, $1 goes to education for children.

The fun part? You get to choose a stuffed animal and make it dance with the movements of your mouse. Or, if you have a mic, you can sing along too (sorry, I don’t know the name of the song). They’ve already collected lots and lots of entries from around the world. Impressive! This is absolutely the cutest thing on the web this week.

Be sure to check out the meansoybean guinea pig! He’s got mad dance skillz.

Oh, Internet… you fill my brain with so much information — and you provide me with entertaining things to watch. I love you, man! But sometimes you weird me out and leave me confused…
