Today, Lisa and John had a lot to talk about. Last weekend, we made the vegan crepes you see pictured here. The recipe is from Veganomicon and if you want to impress someone, this is the recipe to do it with. We mutually impressed each other with it.

We also discussed our plan for the Millennium Party. No, we're not eight years too late – this is the Millennium cookbook party. Although we may listen to Prince's "1999" while watching Voltron episodes to keep with the theme. If that sounds confusing,  listen to the podcast to get a better understanding.

Soy Delicious has come out with a coconut milk line of non-dairy ice cream to help all of those with soy allergies. It is only available in the U.S. so far.

Oprah's vegan diet experimentation is discussed. She is in the middle of a 21 day vegan challenge. She has had no complaints so far, and has been enjoying it. As a service to all those thinking of trying a vegan diet, Erik Markus has posted an intro series of 21 mini podcasts. Topics include: Essential Cookbooks, Nutrition, Supermarket Survival, and Kitchen Setup.

We mention the Food Network. They are featuring some of Dreena Burton's vegan recipes. There were also some new library books donated today.

If you know of any vegan/vegetarian doctors in the Toronto Area (or those who are understanding/knowledgeable of vegetarian issues) please email us at tva@veg.ca. There are lots of questions that come in from the public about this.

Today was Peter McQueen's 50th birthday party! The party was held directly below us at Vegetarian Haven restaurant. As a result, there were lots of people coming into the Resource Centre today. We wish Peter all the best as he has done Toronto Vegetarian Association a great service for over 20 years in about fifty different capacities. He also inspired this week's "Question of the Week:" What would you do to celebrate your 50th birthday? Lisa would be at the Blossoming Lotus in Hawaii and John would be at Farm Sanctuary.

This podcast is a pensi 32 minutes.
