Comic courtesy of Drew at www.toothpastefordinner.comThis year, Peta crowned Carrie Underwood the world's sexiest vegetarian celebrity. Obviously, they haven't met Vanessa Holm, Ottawa's coolest vegan activist.
As part of NCVA (National Capital Vegetarian Association), Holm is helping organize a series of monthly vegan potlucks at the Jack Purcell Centre. The first one is this Saturday. Details here.
If you want to see just how sweet veganism can be, introduce yourself to Vanessa at the potluck. She defies just about every stereotype you have about pleather-wearing, nut-soaking, emaciated hippies. And Holm enthuses that "These potlucks are a great way to learn about different types of cooking as well as meet new people."
If you don't know what to bring, try going here or there for recipe ideas. Then put away the honey and pour on the maple syrup!

the potluck was great, and vanessa definitely stole the show with her beautiful artwork of a cake.
was that a wicker basket, or a chocolate-inflected wonder?
