Ep 95 OUT NOW – Death Cap Mushrooms

by

How about two middle-aged gay men talking about lots of topics with no expertise or insight?

Episode 95 of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) is out now. In this episode, Josh and I chat about the death cap mushroom murder mystery from Australia, how the media attacks on Zack Polanski are getting out of hand, and why I love the new Gaga live album.

We are two vegans talking about current events, pop culture, food, music, travel, and whatever else takes our interest.

Alternative Vegan Christmas Dinner

by

You might have seen a few days ago when I blogged about not being a fan of Christmas.

If you missed the post, you can read online here.

Knowing about my anti-Christmas stance you might be wondering what do I eat when everything is closed? Most Christmas Days of the past I have simply cooked a a meal in my own home, however I have become curious about restaurants that remain open on the day serving food that isn’t what a lot of people would consider traditional Christmas cuisine.

This year I was in Brisbane, Australia and was fortunate to discover that U-Tong Vegan Thai Restaurant was open on Christmas Day. It was a no-brainer to get along for a meal!

How vegan is Brisbane, Australia?

by

Returning to Brisbane after so many years away is something I have always approached with a mix of curiosity and caution.

This is the city that shaped me, confused me, challenged me and, at times, hurt me. It is also the city I left in order to make sense of the world on my own terms. Coming back has never felt simple, but this time something felt different, and a big part of that difference has been seeing Brisbane through a vegan lens.
