TAGGED:
Every summer I look forward to the long, hot and sweaty days of the Vans Warped Tour. I've been going every year since 2001 and I still love it! Summer just isn't complete without that day spent in the smoldering heat along with thousands of other kids watching some of your favorite bands. This year's Warped Tour is sure to be the party of the summer yet again. Some awesome new bands have been added to the line-up in addition to the old favorites that help keep Warped going strong every year.
Check out this year's full line-up of bands. It's awesome to see that so many of these bands are friends with peta2! After seeing the success of last summer's campaign, there's no doubt in my mind that by the end of the summer our peta2 road crew will have every one of these bands on board to help animals!

World Vegetarian Week is Here! May 19, 2008
Posted by Marta at May 19, 2008 12:53 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 3 ) | TrackBackWorld Vegetarian Week has officially descended upon us, so throughout the week, peta2 staffers will be sharing stories of why we went vegetarian and, of course sharing delicious recipes with you all. Exciting stuff!
I can hardly remember a time when I wasn't a vegetarian. I was four when I decided to stop eating meat because I saw a pig roasted over a fire at a luau in Hawaii. People always ask me how I could have made a decision like that at such a young age (no one else in my family was vegetarian). Thinking back, I understand why I was able to make that decision: Kids don't realize that the "chicken" they're eating is the same farm animal they read about in books. I was absolutely horrified when I saw the entire pig being cooked and was even more horrified that everyone else seemed to be okay with eating the pig.
Pigs are friends, not food, people. I was pretty lucky, since my family has always been completely supportive of my vegetarianism (and yes, that's nerdy, devious me around the time I went vegetarian). Thanks, family.
Now that you've seen my true nerdy roots, I feel compelled to talk about an obsession of mine: Hummus. Seriously, nothing could make me happier than that creamy concoction. Try my recipe for yourself (most hummus has tahini in it, but I choose to leave that out).
Marta's Delectable Hummus
In a blender or food processor, add the beans, garlic, oil, and salt. Blend until creamy (add some water or more oil if you need more liquid to blend the mixture). Transfer mixture to a bowl. I then like to mix in chopped green onions or chopped black olives. Yum, yum. Refrigerate for an hour. Devour with chips, crackers, veggies, or spread on a sandwich. The possibilities are endless!
How's your day going? Delicious? I hope so!
