Good morning! I hope you had a chance to check out the piece that The Snarky Chickpea wrote for Stop Chasing Skinny yesterday: Meg’s Story {Skipping the January Diet}. I’m loving the thoughtful pieces on embracing one’s body in January instead of depriving it.
Speaking of not depriving my body…
Sunday evening Dave and I bundled up and headed into Manhattan for dinner with Jasmin and Mariann, the co-founders of Our Hen House. I am a devoted listener to their podcast and it was fun to learn more about the future of Our Hen House.
Jasmin suggested we meet and Soy and Sake and I am so glad she did!
Bourbon "chicken"
"Crab" rangoon
Lettuce wraps
Southern "chicken" sandwich
Tofu salad (and some type of spring roll)
"Chicken" Parmesan Hero
Sushi
What a feast for four! This meal was fantastic – great prices for big food! Truth be told, Dave and I were the ones who chowed down on the “junkier” food (yeah, we went with sandwiches at a Pan-Asian joint…so?!) while we admired Jasmin and Mariann’s choices of hearty, healthy salads and sushi.
The highlight of the evening, though, was the conversation. Listening to these bright, passionate and compassionate women each week has catapulted my activism on behalf of animals. Please make sure you subscribe to the Our Hen Housen podcast (and leave a review while you’re there!) and come back here to let me know what you think. I believe you’ll be inspired to action.
