I need your help, gentle readers. One of my colleagues is offering a course on food and food systems this year, and he thought it would be great if I could come in to discuss veganism. Plus, I think the students might benefit from seeing a real live vegan (ha ha). The great part about this presentation is that I get to do a cooking demo. The great conundrum is: what to make? The class runs for 1:20, so I need to do something fairly quick and easy. Do I try some kind of fake meat, or try to bring tofu back? Entree? Dessert? I am open to suggestions.

I suggest fake meat or tofu. This is what scares non-vegetarian/non-vegans the most. If you can make something that they will enjoy as a meat eater then you have succeeded! I am a vegetarian and I still can't get tofu/seitan/or any other type of "fake meat" quite right which is likely why I am reluctant to do away with all animal products like my egg and cheese

I'd vote for making something with tofu or tempeh. So many people have no idea what either one of them tastes like, and you have an opportunity to have them try something lovely you make and have them like it. Fake meats are okay, but they're- well, they're fake.
Sounds like a really cool opportunity. Good luck!

make a dessert - I finally made the switch from vegetarian to vegan once I learned how easy vegan baking is. I think if the students realize that vegan eating doesn't have to = sacrifice and deprivation, they'll be more open to it. good luck w/ the demo - can't wait to hear how it goes! :-)

I vote do something with tofu! Most people have a big misconception about it -- teaching how to properly cook it can really make people rethink veganism. My fiance hated tofu, but now that I cook it for him he LOVES it!
How about pre-pressing some and bringing it with you? Or pre-marinating it? Oh, and a dessert with silken tofu!

What an exciting opportunity! I would do something not too complicated, something that any of the students could make with everyday, easy to find ingredients. Sorry, I don't have any specific suggestions, but I can't wait to hear what others say!

when i was in college, i once saw a vegan cooking demo where they made a whole breakfast in twenty five minutes. there were beer pancakes, overnight oatmeal, and tofu scramble. it was great, and she did it right before exams. for the next two weeks, all i smelled in the dorms were those pancakes.

Do a dessert! People unfamiliar with veganism are always wowed by an awesome dairy free cake.

- karmalily said...
Tofu might be a good idea. I've talked to many nonvegans about their dislike of tofu. However, all it takes is one well-cooked meal and they're hooked. Most people who have never used tofu just don't know how to cook it right.
Another suggestion could be to just stay away from any tofu or "fake meaty" stuff. Show them that veganism isn't just soy. You could do a beautiful meal with lots of veggies to make it colorful.
- March 11, 2009 at 10:53 PM
- Ursula said...
Maybe fake meat--but a bean entree might be better, something easy to make with the ingredients college students might have on hand. Let the students see that veganism is normal, tasty, filling, and relatively uncomplicated.
Outreach, yo!
Best of luck to you, whatever you decide to cook.

My husband and I do vegan discussions/demos at our local library (in western Kansas!), and one that always gets re-requested is our discussion about tofu. It's a really intimidating ingredient, and it's fun to take it out of the package and pass it around so people can see how much water is in it. You can always have something pre-prepared to serve, and then just show some of the techniques (pressing tofu, etc.).
Just a thought - love your blog!!
- March 11, 2009 at 11:04 PM
- Carrie said...
I would do something with tofu. I think a lot of non-veggies hear 'tofu' and think "ewwww!" So I'd want to try and show them how delicious tofu can be if properly prepared.
- March 11, 2009 at 11:22 PM
- steph said...
Nooo not fake meat! Don't reinforce the stereotype! Go for a main meal made up of lots of awesome veggies and grains, or a really spectacular dessert.
- March 11, 2009 at 11:27 PM
- Rachael said...
Others might differ, but personally (as a non-vegan, not even necessarily a vegetarian) I'd plead NOOO, to fake meat, and only maybe to tofu! Best of all to cook something that they can make using ingrediants, tools and techniques they already know - perhaps with tofu as an optional extra. Possible, rather than scary, I reckon.
- March 11, 2009 at 11:36 PM
- Katie said...
Hmmm this sounds like a great opportunity, both for you AND a chance for others to learn about vegan food. Hm, how old are the students? If they're younger, I think somthing simple and similar to "regular" food would show how the switch is both easy and not scary. Maybe something simple like chilli, sloppy joes, or delicious burgers with lots of flavour and veggies?
PS I love your site!

Personally, I would go for a dessert; I think that the notion that vegan desserts can actually be extremely delicious encourages a lot of people to take the plunge and try it!
- March 12, 2009 at 12:17 AM
- reilly said...
I think I'd avoid anything that relies on fake meat products or stuff like tofutti sour cream. Veganism is great even without all of that stuff! I think something like eggplant lasagna, or canolli stuffed with a tofu/spinach filling would be nice, and both would be familiar enough that all of the students/participators would be interested.

i'm trying to channel my inner undergrad omnivore, haha. if i were new to veganism, i'd probably blanch at the thought of never being able to have 'meat' again, so maybe introducing a quintessentially omni dish using vegan substitutions to show how easy it can be, like fake hot wings or mac 'n cheese? then again, nooch may not be the most appetizing introduction at first, so maybe a simple demonstration of how you can cover carbs, veggies, and protein nutritional bases might be fun and easy, like pasta with chickpeas and veggies or something. so many options! good luck and let us know how it goes!

I think you should do a classic meal that everyone knows and "loves" but do it vegan style! Because then everyone can relate that being vegan isnt so out there and crazy.
- March 12, 2009 at 12:50 AM
- Lizzzzzz said...
Oh wow, this is your chance to prepare delicious vegan food that DOESN'T include fake meat. Even though most of us veggies succumb to the call of fake meat at least sometimes, I think one of the most important myths to destroy is that vegans and vegetarians are all sitting around sighing, wishing we could eat meat but we can't because animals are so darn cute.
It would be great to make some sort of freaking delicious food whose recipe needs no "fake" substitutions. A creamy veggie soup, pumpkin muffins, some sort of lesser known vegan ethnic food.
knock em over,

- Chris @ Beyond Ramen said...
If your aim is to educate them on vegan ingredients, I would probably go for some kind of fake meat because 1) it's something that non-vegetarians hardly bother with and 2) they'll learn it's much easier than it sounds!
But if you want to try and remind them that vegan cooking is not rocket science, you might want to make something like risotto (take out the Parm) or polenta (stock instead of milk) or an easy dessert (lots of them are vegan!) - really anything that only requires omitting one dairy ingredient.
Best of luck!

I say do an entree, but leave out the fake meat- something that lets the veg (or fruit) and so on shine on their own accord, rather than having your onlookers try and compare them to meat bacon or whatever.
- March 12, 2009 at 1:34 AM
- Dawn said...
in an 1:20 you can do a full meal, show them that you can get full n a vegan meal. A pasta with a couple of sides and a dessert. May not give you the time to discuss the fine details of egg substitutions, but it will give them a place to start.

Using fake meat in the demo might lead some to conclude that vegan food can't stand on its own. There is no need to fake anything to make good vegan food (but there is nothing wrong with fake meat, either).
- March 12, 2009 at 1:42 AM
- mobilediesel said...
Some kind of fake meat would be excellent. That shows meat-eaters that it's not all salad for vegans!
- March 12, 2009 at 1:46 AM
- Matt said...
Personally, I'd avoid stereotype foods like seitan or tofu. Beans are such a vegan staple, that a tasty way to make beans might be simple and revealing to students. A chickpea burger/fritter or one of your tempeh burgers would be good too, maybe bring in a dessert and loaf of bread.
When I'm feeding omnis, especially the first encounter, I make something 'normal' to stress that animals aren't needed to have a healthy and tasty meal. For this type of encounter, I've done pasta, Indian or Thai, beans & rice, etc.
I know that, when I first started cutting back on meat, I truly wasn't aware that I could be satisfied without meat or dairy. That awareness, for me, was an important first step that I try to instill in others.
Whatever you do, I'm sure the students are in for a treat. Have fun with it =)

Show how easy it is to make the Italian sausages. My husband (who is very cautious about vegan food) loves them and will choose them over tofu any day. They are a regular on our menu now.
- March 12, 2009 at 2:16 AM
- On Life, Love and Veggies said...
Maybe an appetizer-type thing, like some chickpea cakes and a dipping sauce, that way all the students could taste some. Showing that you can make good sauces without mayonnaise or other dairy.

i did a vegan cooking class for hte first time last year for college students interested in vegetarianism and veganism. i did a fried mock chicken and some cheesy mashed potatoes with collard greens. and chocolate cupcakes. all were a big hit. that might be a bit much for the time you have.. but my thoughts when i was trying to figure it out were to make something that's delicious that lots of people will like and something that's not overly complicated (they were college students and not all had much cooking experience). they all were excited to try the recipes at home. which makes me think i chose well. good luck!
- March 12, 2009 at 3:05 AM
- veganverve said...
I would suggest a dessert since that type of dish wins over many people...plus it seems like so many people don't understand that cakes etc can be made without eggs!! Tofu is often received negatively so that could be iffy, but if you made it super delicious you could definitely shock some people! Good luck!
- March 12, 2009 at 3:06 AM
- Zephyr said...
Dessert, absolutely. I think one of the biggest misconceptions about vegan food I run into is that it's gross, or tastes bland, or is a specially acquired taste. I bake a lot, and the number of people I've fed a vegan dessert (particularly from VCTOTW) to who've exclaimed "I wouldn't even know this is vegan - it's GOOD!" is remarkable. If you can get 'em to believe you with dessert, it's an easier route to getting them to believe you with the rest of the meal. Not that I really think veganism is about being evangelical, but there's definitely some convincing involved.
Besides, who doesn't like dessert?!

- aless02 said...
As a non-vegan who reads this blog with interest, I would personally think a more unusual fake meat like tempeh or seitan would probably be a lot more interesting than tofu. Most people have cooked with tofu and/or eaten it, but showing that there's OTHER things than just tofu would probably catch the attention much more.
Hmmm, I would think that making a popular entree (like a pasta or casserole or rice dish) but with vegan ingredients would be quite educational in showing you don't have to sacrifice tastes you love when you go vegan.
Just my 2 cents! ;)

When I almost taught a cooking class (nobody signed up), I had planned to do hummus the first day. I know it's really simple, but it's delicious, people are somehow always amazed by it, and the ingredients are cheap and easy to find anywhere. Except tahini, I guess.
While tofu and faux meat are really comfortable for ingrained vegans, I've found they can be off-putting to omnis. I love to show people you can use 'normal' ingredients to make delicious healthful vegan meals.

Dear VeganDad,
I think it would be important to emphasize it's not a day job to be a vegan, so make "college food" and/or bring ready made things along. I do not know what kind of equipment you will have to work with, this will limit a lot. I guess finger-foods and sweet stuff will do well, with simple recipes you will keep them more eh... awake.
Hope you will have fun preparing this demo :)

If I were you I'd do a really nice dessert so that they can see that you're not restricted to dark chocolate and fruit salad as a vegan.
In my experience tofu isn't such a crowd pleaser.
What exactly do you mean by fake meat?
Your wingz look absolutely amazing, so maybe you could do those.
- March 12, 2009 at 7:03 AM
- Katie McQuage said...
How about an easily veganized twist on a classic? Like french onion soup? Something you can keep super simple and super healthful. I've often found that showing people how to make something they would already eat is a way to show that they really don't need the meat, and makes the whole lifestyle seem a little less alien and less gimmicky too.
Of course, this applies to foods they would possible not have eaten, like fabulous Indian dals and such!
- March 12, 2009 at 7:04 AM
- Katie said...
I would suggest an entree, and I would recommend using seitan or tempeh rather than tofu, since it will teach a lot of them a word they probably haven't even heard before. Then you don't have to get over the stigma of tofu.
The madras curry was very good (I made it with smart grounds because I wanted to use those up), it was somewhat similar to familiar foods like chili, and it emphasized the "meat" portion quite well.
I think a dessert wouldn't do that as well.
Also, I suggest you describe basic vegan cooking techniques and describe things like nutritional yeast, seitan, and tempeh. I didn't grow up in a home with much cooking instruction, so I learned to eat vegetarian by just picking off the meat on the dishes my parents served or only eating the carb-laden sides for quite a while. As I hit my 20s I realized this isn't remotely nutritious and I've slowly learned how to substitute the actual meat and nutrients with tempeh, tofu, nut. yeast etc, but that's the only place where this site seems to lack. It doesn't tell me a whole lot about the value or usefuleness of vegan/vegetariaan products nutritionally or in practice, so I have to learn by making each recipe to see how these ingredients act. Also I recommend making sure your students know how to find the ingredients as that can be a challenge itself.
I understand this blog is just your collection of recipes moreso than an educational site, but just some feedback.

I don't know... I would suggest avoiding fake meat. These are probably omnivores, and they don't take too quickly to meat substitutes... some tofu would be nice, or perhaps a dish that doesn't involve a meat replacement at all - maybe something with chickpeas or another bean?

i'm doing a class in april for a bunch of kids. i decided to steer clear of tofu, because i think a lot of people assume that's all veg*ns eat.
my class is only half an hour, and it's kids, so i'm making sloppy joes (w/ kidney beans). you'll probably want something more complex, but i'm looking forward to reading all the responses!
- March 12, 2009 at 8:47 AM
- Josh said...
I'm thinking some type of dessert. Most people think that veganism leaves out any and all pastries/baked goods so it might be nice to shake up the idea that you need cream and butter for a good dessert. additionally, while i am a big fan of fake meat, plenty of people to whom i've offered have a texture issue implanted in their minds that prevents them from even trying it. while this could also be a nice predisposition to rattle, it may also have a larger chance for lack of receptivity. i mean really, who's going to say no to dessert? :) good luck!

Since you're doing a cooking demo, I assume you have access to a stove and oven - right? If it's still cool weather, I think it would be great to do your vegan "Shepherd's Pie" or another casserole-type food...maybe something with a Mexican theme? It'll be very easy to hand out samples. However, if it's getting warm in your neck of the woods, how about a chickpea burger with some kind of salad? Everyone likes burgers -and you can easily cut those up for samples too. I think I'd pass on the tofu - that's probably what they're expecting! You have SO many good recipes to choose from.
- March 12, 2009 at 9:31 AM

i would veer away from fake meat if the students aren't used to veganism...i would do a simple veggie and grain dish...maybe some tofu thrown in for good measure! good luck!

I think one of the best strategies is to show them delicious things that are relatively simple and don't require really weird ingredients. Tempeh? Agar agar? Yeesh.
Show 'em that being vegan is awesome. I think I'd base my menu on one of my favorite vegan desserts -- coconut milk chocolate pudding!

I would do something with no fake meat, no tofu or any other foods that seem normal to us vegans. That's one of the roadblocks between us and them; they can't wrap their heads around fake stuff. And truthfully, it doesn't really approximate anything they know. I think it would be better to make an entree that uses regular food that they have eaten before; grains, beans, veggies.
You need to ease into it, not hit them over the heads.
My opinion....
- March 12, 2009 at 10:34 AM

I would suggest something original with veggies and beans for the ff reasons:
1) most meat eaters think of us vegan eating fake meats as hypocritical. Also, with all the bad rap gluten and soy are getting these day, it might be something I would avoid. Also, they already have seen and tried many meat analogs from market already....
2) Veggies and beans are so delish, so versatile, so nutritious, so delish (did I mention it again...), so I think its great opportunity to show them the wonderful world of veggies....

In your shoes, I think I would do a vegan mac n cheese using cashew cheese sauce...because even my omni SIL loves the one I do, and it's familiar and comfort food. And also a chocolate pudding using silken tofu...because you just know those who are afraid of tofu and have never had it are going to want to give it a try in THAT.
- March 12, 2009 at 11:37 AM

i would suggest not tofu, because, in my experience, as soon as tofu is brought up meat-eaters stop listening. seitan would be cool, hardly anyone i talk to knows what it is.

I would stay away from the fake meat and/or tofu simply because non-vegans think that's all we eat! Show them that there are other things out there that are really tasty and yummy!

- Lily Girl said...
Unless your college's students are very different from most college students, then they are probably largely clueless in kitchen, fairly lazy about cooking, and not the healthiest eaters.
With that in mind, I would make something pretty simple. Maybe veganize a favorite junk food (the fact that it will taste better and be healthier is a bonus!). Tacos would be a good one, you could use TVP or store-bought veggie crumbles for the meat. Everything else is pretty much just chop and add to taste and you can either omit cheese and sour cream, our introduce vegan options. Chili would be another good option, and if you used canned beans or a pressure cooker it will be ready in 30-45 minutes, tops. I like BJ's idea of burgers, you could make your sliders.
Also, since it sounds like most of the students are not at all familiar with veganism I would avoid introducing too many "weird" foods (seitan and nutritional yeast are weird to most people). Instead show them how easy it is to replace animal products with foods they are already familiar with, like beans, and that there are lots of vegan options for the animal-based foods they are used to (like veggie crumbles, vegan cream cheese and sour cream, etc.)
Just my two cents as a college student. I think it is great that your colleague asked you to do this!

make 2 or 3 entrees. like a breakfast lunch and dinner.
I would make my homemade hasbrowns and tofu scramble for breakfast and a tofu stir fry with peanut sauce over brown rice for dinner. pretty quick, super nutritious and really pretty looking on a plate with all the bright varied veggies.

No fake meat! Nothing scares off potential vegetarians or vegans quite like fake meat (and sometimes tofu). Show that a vegan dish can be great with those types of substitutes!

Hi there-
First of all, hooray for your opportunity to educate people about a healthy lifestyle!
Second, I TOTALLY agree with FunkyFrum: go for breakfast food- the idea of entire meal where they can see that there are very do-able and very TASTY options for that favorite meal! Tofu scramble, non-dairy pancakes, and if they're feeling adventurous, your delectable sausages! Go for it!
- March 12, 2009 at 1:17 PM
- Dinosaur Vampire said...
I didn't read through every comment, but I searched and didn't see any mention of TVP. It's super easy and amazingly tasty (if seasoned right). You could take about 5 minutes total of your presentation to prepare some and the rest of the time to tell them all the things they eat now that they can replace with it.

I have been a vegetarian for my whole life (going on 29 years) and I find that tofu still gets the worst reaction from people. As others have said before me, it is simply a question of being unable to cook it properly. If time permits, you could show them how to marinate tofu properly and then make it into a dish!
Your blog is great!

I agree that getting non-vegans comfortable with fake meat is a good option, but i think they already have an idea that we eat "weird" things. (as a vegan, even i'm not a fan of tofu sausage.) If it were me, i'd make some comfort food that everyone loves, that is already very close to and easily made vegan. (my friends love my "pot roast" which is just roasted veggies/potatoes with awesome flavors and mushroom gravy)

Cool! I've done several cooking demos at Whole Foods and for our local Buddhist temple, and I typically stick to tofu recipes to help de-mystify the stuff. Non-vegans think tofu is weird and gross, so making it taste good always impresses folks.
Let us know how it goes!

I'm with the "no fake meat/tofu" camp. College students who aren't Vegan are likely to just compare any fake meat/tofu meal to actual animal products and say "that's not as good" I'd go with something using easily accessible ingredients that they could see themselves cooking even if they don't go Vegan...like your cajun "crab" cakes....YUM

No pasta! Everyone already knows pasta can be vegetarian/vegan.
I'd say your lemon pudding cake would be wonderful. Or crepes or waffles if you do breakfast. If you do lunch/dinner-type stuff, something that's familiar but with a veggie twist -- maybe a simple soup and a nice main course grain salad, something like that. Voila, a yummy weeknight meal.
I'm neutral on whether to include fake meat -- I can see the pluses, and you are "internet famous" for yours -- but I'm not a regular eater of it myself and have gotten mixed reactions to it from non-veggies (ranging from "what's the point" to "that stuff's pretty good, even if it's not like real meat").

I'd go with either something hearty, filling, and naturally vegan-friendly (like a great pad thai) rather than fake meat. No matter how good, the fake stuff will get compared to the meat version, and may not sway the crowd.
That being said, I think desserts are a near universal joy, and there are some fabulous ones out there. I think you could do a lot by showing people some great stuff they already like is vegan (or vegan-friendly at least).
Have fun!

It would be a miracle if you read this far down, but if you don't bake I think you should make the vegan mac and cheese. Or, at least something with a nut cream. I think omnis find the nut cream remarkable. I personally find the taste delightful, but even those who don't will be wowed by the 'authentic' look

Congratulations on this awesome opportunity.
Now, for the food, I would suggest food ingredients which the students could purchase cheaply and easily and which don't seem 'strange'. Try to think of a dish that is easy and quick to cook and which will also look appetising when you serve it. You also might want to give students a taste of each thing you make, so that they realise the foods are yummy and not everything has to be 'healthy healthy healthy'. In 1.20 you could make a few different things. Whatever you cook, make sure you do a batch of double chocolate chip cookies...decent choc chip cookies always impress the harshest critic.

I've done a few hundred caterings/demos/classes, (since 1999 on my own and helping with others from earlier). People are most amazed by cheesey things and meaty things.
I think you should do your turkey slices - they are excellent - but need more salt for a demo (I added 2 teaspoons). Also some mac & cheese. Do little hoagies (half of a little hot dog bun works nicely for sampling.
The key to successful demos is having your product already ready at several stages. For the meat, have one roll chilled and ready to slice, have slices already on the sandwiches (you are great at visual appeal, so stack them to count for display). Also, have everything for the recipe measure up. Have your tofu open, rinsed and ready to go. Have your gluten flour measured and in a dish. Have your seasonings in little cups pre-measured. Have all on a tray.
You'll want to demo the blending, the mixing, the foil wrapping. Then set it in whatever steamer setup you recommend for the average guy and don't steam, just set aside. Tell them how to bake it and chill it. Then unroll your one that's ready and demonstrate slicing it (if you have a deli slicer demonstrate it by hand as well, so it seems attainable).
For mac & chz, have the correct amount of dry noodles (no need to demo, though you might comment on types of noodles to cook), have cooked noodles ready to go. Demo making the cheese sauce, then combing it with noodles, if you're baking it, have a baked one warm and ready for trying.
Whatever you decide have fun!

I have taught quite a few cooking classes and I have a couple of thoughts:
First veganize a comfort food like lasagna (pop one into the oven right before the class so they will smell it cooking and they get a taste after salivating for an hour!).. obviously show them how veganize all the components)
Second, the simple and classic tofu chocolate pie has really really impressed my clients.. you can put it in the freezer to set it up faster.. I usually do a play on it though.. either chocolate peanut butter pie or chocolate mint pie..
Whatever you decide will be great I'm sure!

I think tofu is more of an acquired thing, well at least for me it took some getting use to. I love your tempeh meatloaf or your wings! I feed your meatloaf to a bunch of meat eaters and they loved it! but really your stuff is so good, I think you would be safe with anything!

How about a wonderful chili, sans the beef? It can be served with cornbread or tortilla chips.
Maybe a sandwich spread that could also be used as a cracker spread for snacking.
And tofu is alot less scary when it become chocolate "mousse" !

Like someone else said, I think vegan mac and cheese with cashew sauce would be yummy. Meat analogs aren't a good idea (esp. the really fake meat) because to people who do eat meat, it doesn't taste good the way it does to most of us...but tempeh could be cool, too.

I would definitely go with tofu. You could do a simple entree and dessert to show it's versatility. Good luck on your demo. I'm sure whatever you choose to cook will be lovely. :)

Wooo you are doing a cooking demo! You SHOULD with all those gourmet vegan (cruelty free) recipes! :) I know we are assimilated to faux meats, but omni's might find them strange and critisize... I'd go two ways: play it safe (EVERY ONE LOVES buttery sugar) and make some decadent dessert, or male some falvorful tofu + veggie + grain dish- and yes, be creative as always! OR possibly show that "comfort, trypical american style" food is (and can easily) be vegan, that would be great too! :D

I'd go crazy and make sure I cooked with ingredients that people might not have cooked with before. Things like kale, fresh artichokes, numerous types of potato, fresh beetroot, numerous grains (quinoa, millet, barley etc), maybe even sprout some of your own mungbeans and lentils and bring a salad to go with it.
I think the key to capturing them, as others have said, is to convey the rich abundance of a cruelty-free diet.

I agree with peopel above who said stay away from the fake stuff for the most part. You can always mention they exist of course.. Introduce them to Veganized versions of regular food instead, ones that are easy to find ingreadients for, are cheap and convenient and of course filling and delicious. Good luck!:)

Not sure if this is too late. Since this is a talk to a group of meat eaters, I thought maybe you should hear from one of us. I'm an omnivore and I do make veggie or vegan meals frequently. I personally don't like non-meat things that are made to look like meat. If I want meat, I'll eat meat. I'm always disappointed in non-meat "chik'n" or "not dogs" etc. So I strongly urge you to stay away from that. Thanks for taking my comment. I love you blog!

We are excited to offer Ruth Magan's book, My Angel, My Friend. Ms. Magan (one of our neighbors in Fair Oaks, CA) has a genuine love and appreciation for children and angels. After publishing Laughing With Angels for adults, she was inspired to create a picture and story book for children. My Angel, My Friend will remind you that everyone has a special angel who is with you always and loves you forever. In her 48 page, soft cover book (8 1/4" x 10 3/4"), the vibrancy of the watercolor illustrations will please children and adults. All illustrations are by Ms. Magan and the book is printed on non-alcaline paper with organic ink (just in case your child decides to take a nibble). Ms. Magan has kindly autographed each one of the books I have available.
"Thank you for your beautiful book, My Angel, My Friend. I keep it right by my chair where I work with my Waldorf students. Although any child will appreciate it, I am currently teaching children at a therapeutic school that uses Steiner's curative education. This book means so much to them. Thank you for such a hopeful gift for the world! Love and blessings, Mimi H. 2006"
"Hi Sonya, I've received everything safe and sound; thank you so much!!!! I love the angel book! I'm going to share it with my LifeWays teacher and the students in her class this coming Saturday -- I wouldn't be too surprised if you get an order or two for it. :-) Thanks again for all the great stuff, and for sending it to me so quickly. I love ordering from you! :-) Audrianne, Salinas, CA 11/28/2012"

Bullying causes harm from repeated negative conduct in a relationship with an imbalance of power.
Bullying refers to conduct that:
A student is harassed when he or she perceives or actually experiences discomfort with identity issues in regard to race, color, national origin, gender, disability, sexual orientation, religion, or other identifying characteristics, and whose ability to participate in and benefit from the school's educational programs or activities is adversely affected. Harassment causes harm from discriminatory conduct that is pervasive or severe.

As you know, Joy and I went on the Cricut Cruise and had a most fabulous time. If they do it again next year and you do not win a free cruise, you should definitely buy the trip! It was truly one of the best trips I have ever been on! We met such wonderful people and had a great time teaching our Cricut classes. Seriously, meeting some of our wonderful followers was truly a privilege!
Ok, now today's card was actually something I was supposed to post the day we left for the cruise. I was so busy, so I totally forgot. It was not until Joy asked me what happened did I realize that I had not posted. AHHHHHHHHH!! I felt like a total moron!
The cartridge used is the Martha Stewart Elegant Cake Art cartridge. This little tulip is a hidden treasure I think. I just love it!

The cost of weekend and holiday cremation openings at Oak Grove Cemetery is going up.
The Grayville City Council during a brief session Monday night approved increasing the cremation opening fee from the old rate of $250 to $300 on weekends and holidays.
The Council also approved an increase in the fee for monument setting from $25 to $50.
Mayor Joe Bisch noted the weekend and holiday openings involve overtime pay, necessitating the increase.
Commissioners also asked Cemetery Sexton Bob Houser to assess his equipment's condition and his needs for inclusion in next year's city budget.
Bisch reported the drainage project at the city's industrial park is ready to begin. Much of the work will be done by municipal employees, and Phil Keepes of Grayville will be hired to operate the city's backhoe on excavation work.
Bisch estimated Keepes' labor at "$1,000 thereabouts," and said concrete work at the site-including the adjacent Fick-Schroeder farm ground-will run another $3,000 to $4,000.
The job should be completed in a week's time, he said.
City Attorney Jay Walden reported he has sent a letter to O'Daniel Trucking regarding a 2009 agreement with the city for the sale of scrap metal from the old state prison site. "We need to figure out where we stand on that," he said.
Bisch agreed, adding he has "made numerous calls and got nowhere with them."
Gas Commissioner Andy Brock reported a recent inspection by the Illinois Commerce Commission found no violations and the ICC representative was "really pleased" with the work done by Gas Supt. Scott Irvine and City Clerk JoEllen Seil.
The Council approved a solicitation at the intersection of Court and North Streets by the Laborers International on May 18.
The Council also agreed to sponsor a table at an upcoming fundraiser for The Guardian Center at a cost of $150. The center aids physically and sexually abused children.
A planned executive session to discuss negotiations with the Painters' Union, which represents city employees, was shelved as the union failed to present a fresh proposal prior to Monday's meeting.

Rated 5 out of 5 by seancb from Great comfortable shoe that is very universal!! I Purchased 3 pairs of Rockports as a result of extremely sore feet at days end. A colleague recommended and stated these are all he wears due to the amount of time we walk and stand. These are great looking comfortable shoes that look good with a suit or jeans. Traveling 5 days a week and spending many hours a week in airports these slip on's are quick to get through security. Not having to pack a pair of casual shoes saves weight as pro travelers want to travel light. Great Job Rockport!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by youngporter from best catering shoes ever I've been through several pairs of cheap dress shoes, that made my feet sweat and hurt. The Rockports fit like a glove when I first put them on, I thought they were to tight, but in a couple days they molded to a perfect custom fit, the leather stretches and molds to the top of your foot and the addiprene molds to the bottom while still keeping my feet totally cool, they don't sweat at all anymore even though its a totally enclosed shoe. If you work in the hospitality industry, these shoes are a must have, I'm a catering porter and I'm constantly on the move, these shoes are worth every penny

Rated 5 out of 5 by Exec from In a word; incredible! Has the comfort and feel of wearing bedroom slippers, yet stylish enough to wear with a suit, corporate cassual or totally cassual. These are the most versatile and comfortable pair of shoes I've ever owned.

Rated 3 out of 5 by satp from Nice shoes, however, fit is definitely a problem Disappointed... Recently purchased the Rockport Dressports Truwalk Slip-ons for my husband... Nice shoes, however, had to rate them average because fit is definitely an issue... My husband normally wears a narrow to medium shoe width so I ordered the medium width... I read various reviews beforehand where people had stated that they got the size width that they normally would wear, however, had to return because they were very tight in the width...Still, I just figured that medium would fit my husband because, as I said, he has a narrow to medium foot, but the medium on this shoe was very tight on him so it was necessary for me to return them to Rockport to have them exchanged for a pair in the wide width, which I really hope that I receive very soon and that they'll fit him
Date published: 2014-12-09
Rated 5 out of 5 by xxxxxx from I love the shoes. They are very comfortable. I do not advice buying shoes online. I ordered a 8.5" and the shoes I received in mail was a little longer. I had to go to a Rockport outlet store and try the same model. Although my feet measured 8.5 I needed only a size 8 in the particular model. However, the other models I tried and 8.5 fit me very well. I had to return the one I ordered online. I am using the ones I bought at the store.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Pedrito from oustanding versatility I bought these for work, but they fit any urban scene as they look great with jeans. Excellent style, but above all very comfortable to wear.
Date published: 2011-11-29
Rated 5 out of 5 by GeorgiaCat from Excellent and well worth it I bought these for my husband, who is 300lbs and has wide, flat feet. He absolutely loves them. As soon as he slid his foot into the first shoe, his eyes lit up and the first thing out of his mouth was "So this is what support is supposed to feel like!" His job requires a LOT of walking, which this shoe is perfect for. The sizing was dead-on so there was no need to go up in size. If you're looking for a fantastic shoe that won't disappoint, this is the shoe for you. Plus, the styling and color will go great with really anything in your closet.
Date published: 2012-12-17
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bargainhunter from Great dress shoes Shoes fit great (I purchased 12 W even though I wear 12 Medium because there were no 12 Ms available). They look very modern and feel very comfortable. They also slip on easily which now is most important to me.

For Instructors Spinning
Chilled to get Thrilled
05/06/2011 1:50 pm
Okay Mr. Happy. Shut it down once in awhile. It's cool just to be chilled. I poked my head into a class early this morning (at a nearby gym) to check out an instructor before I got busy coaching my Strength and Conditioning group (they are animals). I thought I would get a listen and hear some coaching. This dude hit play on his Ipod and went nuts. Like a non-stop auction guy...he was talking so much and trying to get everyone to relax and warm-up that they all probably got migraines or confused on what cue or clever message he was trying to convey. Comical. Sad. He actually had decent music but you could barely listen over his voice. It was like the guy had 7 shots of espresson after sleeping 10 hours and then got shocked with d-fib paddles! Needless to say, if this cat was at a party he and I would not chill to cool tunes while chewing on a glass of syrah. Nope. Part of the beauty of SPINNING is that you can chill and train at the same time! That is unique. Energy, flow and getting into your own space is part of the allure. As an instructor, give your voice a rest. Lead with music. Lead with your form on the bike. And if/when you use your voice, have a purpose. Better to say less and command more! I often like to put people in the mood with music and soothe them into the training atmosphere. Remember, training requires skill and practice. Intensity comes second. Keep them chilled then get them thrilled. No need to do the old MMA ground and pound with your voice or too much distraction. As we'd say...let it soak in and allow it to just happen, don't force it. You may recall that I have told many of you to play songs with powerful sounds that will automatically tell your riders what hand position and what movement to execute! Or let them determine for themselves what feels right. Riding by feeling is cool. It's chilled. It works. And it sells. As an instructor, having some space during the ride allows you to see whats going on and adjust your cueing and coaching to construct a more efficient ride. You can think too, its okay! Take a look around, make eye contact or actually plot out a few things to say in the next section. Wisdom. As human beings, it feels good to feel good, know what I mean? Whether you are training or chilling, they can both have a similar outcome!Share

Save time by registering your passport data yourself
Lufthansa is bound by law to register the passport information of every passenger on flights to the USA, Canada, Korea, India, Japan, China, South Africa and Mexico. For these and other destinations you can easily register your data yourself at the Check-in machines, thus avoiding the sometimes lengthy registration procedure at the departure gate.
How to register your data
During the check-in process you will be asked by the system to place your passport on the machine's scanner. For your travel documents to be scanned successfully by the machine, you must have a machine-readable passport.
If you do not have a machine-readable passport, your data will be registered as usual at the departure gate for your flight.

>Crescent City California News, Sports, & Weather | The Triplicate
California lawmakers took their first step toward moving a package of gun control bills Tuesday, following tough firearm and ammunition restrictions enacted in several other states in the wake of recent shooting rampages.
As dozens of supporters and opponents — including Del Norte County Sheriff Dean Wilson — packed the Senate Public Safety Committee room for a daylong hearing, Democrats in the state Senate began to use their majority to advance a group of seven bills that would further tighten California's strict gun laws. The measures were approved on 5-2 party-line votes over Republicans' objections Tuesday night, and they now will be considered by a second Senate committee.
Wilson told lawmakers he would not enforce weapons restriction laws he deemed unconstitutional, specifically SB 374, which would change the classification of an assault weapon to include semiautomatic rifles that do not have a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept 10 rounds or fewer and force anyone who owned one since 2001 to register the weapon or face criminal charges.
"It's unconstitutional," Wilson told the Triplicate on Wednesday. "It is our duty to execute the laws; it is also the duty of the executive branch, whatever laws we do enforce, to ensure that these laws are legal ... just
He added that confiscating someone's weapon would put Wilson in a position of committing an offense against that person.
"We talk about supreme law, the Constitution is the supreme law of the land," Wilson said. "It's not the federal government."
He said SB 374 would devalue the guns and force citizens to register guns. And while he spoke out specifically against that proposed law in Sacramento, he spoke more generally about gun control Wednesday.
"Government registration of a gun isn't something the government should get into," said Wilson. "We don't need to know if someone has a gun."
Gun and magazine restrictions would also limit the ability for individuals to protect themselves and property, especially in Del Norte where the response time to outlying areas could be 20-30 minutes, Wilson said.
"If you believe the government is there to save you, you're sorely mistaken," said Wilson. "It's your responsibility to protect your house, your family and your property."
One of the proposals in Sacramento would prohibit the sale of any semi-automatic rifle that accepts detachable ammunition magazines, prompting activists on both sides of the debate to say the plan goes beyond bans in other states.
"We simply can't wait until the next tragedy before taking action," Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa told the committee.
Also, bills in the package would:
• Make it more difficult to rapidly reload weapons with high-capacity magazines.
• Add a combination shotgun-rifle to the state's list of prohibited weapons.
• Require background checks for all gun owners.
• Require ammunition buyers to undergo a background check and get a permit.
• Require more training for gun buyers.
• Add new crimes to those that disqualify California residents from owning weapons.
New York, Connecticut and Colorado have passed restrictions on firearms in response to the recent mass shootings.
The new bills in California are among at least 30 gun control measures introduced in the state this year, and they come as state Assembly members also debate the topic.
The Assembly Public Safety Committee advanced a bill Tuesday that would make it a crime to negligently store a loaded firearm or leave it in a place where a child is likely to access it. Current law makes it a crime only if the child uses the weapon.
The same committee also rejected a pair of gun owners' rights bills — one that would have made it easier to get a concealed weapons permit and another allowing the open carry of firearms.
Given the makeup of the California Legislature, the Senate gun control package stands a fair chance of becoming law. Democrats hold two-thirds majorities in both houses of the Legislature. Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown's office, however, declined comment on the pending legislation.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, author of the bill to outlaw rifles with detachable magazines, said the proposal would close "loopholes and gaps that the manufacturers have exploited" to sell military-style assault weapons in the state.
The Sacramento Democrat estimated that about 355 California residents and 3,300 people nationwide have died from gun violence since the Connecticut elementary school shooting in December.
However, gun rights advocate Jake McGuigan told the committee that few assault weapons are used in homicides in California, citing state Department of Justice statistics.
Steinberg and other supporters acknowledged that California laws can be skirted by those who travel to other states to buy weapons, underscoring their desire for federal gun control legislation. However, Steinberg said, California lawmakers should not wait to take action.
Gun control activist Rick Jacobs echoed the notion at a Capitol news conference before the hearing, saying that California lawmakers are acting, "while unfortunately those folks in Washington are watching."
Jacobs, chairman of the Courage Campaign, said his group helped collect more than 31,000 signatures backing the gun restrictions.

The summer 2011 issue of Columbia College's alumni magazine, affinity, has won three awards:
• 2012 Platinum Hermes Creative Award. Platinum is the highest level of Hermes awards, granted to only about 15 percent of all entries. There were about 4,700 entries from all over the U.S. and several other nations. The Hermes awards are administered by the Association of Marketing and Communications Professionals. • 2012 Silver Award of Distinction for a magazine in the educational institution category, Silver Award of Distinction for a magazine, interior design; 18th Annual Communicator Awards competition.

The summer edition was also the debut of the "Scootergraph."

I'm one of those people who silently fumes when I get a loaned book back from a friend and pages have been dog-eared. Have some of these people not heard of bookmarks?! So I've had to put my overly book-protective nature aside for a bit to fully appreciate the beauty of what Nicholas Jones does to various precious tomes. Simply gorgeous work.

Let's take a break for a moment from the difficulties of the policy debate in Washington. Amidst the discord and division, there is an important meeting that takes place most weeks in the Capitol – and you're invited!
For 70 years, the Nebraska congressional delegation has been doing something very unique in Washington: coming together weekly, regardless of political affiliation, to meet with visiting constituents and discuss the challenges before us as a nation.
The "Nebraska Breakfast" – which has become one of my favorite traditions in Washington, D.C. – takes place each Wednesday in which both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives are in session. All Nebraskans are invited to attend. The delegation members each give a brief update on current issues and introduce guests. Some try to be funny and tell jokes.
Reflecting Nebraskans' independence and neighborly spirit, the Nebraska Breakfast is the only state gathering of its kind, welcoming hundreds of constituents to the U.S. Capitol each year. The tradition began in 1943 when U.S. Senator Hugh Butler began meeting informally with the other members of the Congressional delegation and their guests. The 2013 calendar year marks the 70th year of this unique tradition. Given the division and strife that so often envelops Washington today, perhaps the Nebraska Breakfast could be a useful model for more constructive, civil, and collaborative interactions among elected officials throughout the nation.
When visiting our nation's capital, I strongly encourage you to make the event a part of your itinerary. The Nebraska Breakfast begins at 8:00 am eastern time and is held at the Senate Buffet in the Dirksen Senate Office Building, First Street and Constitution Avenue NE, Washington, D.C. For more information and to attend, please contact my Washington, D.C. office at (202) 225-4806.
This year, the first Nebraska breakfast is next week on Wednesday, February 13. The other 2013 breakfasts are scheduled for February 27; March 6, 13, and 20; April 10, 17, and 24; May 8, 15, and 22; June 5, 12, 19, and 26; July 10, 17, 24, and 31; September 11 and 18; and October 2.
I hope you can join us!
