by Karen Z. unless otherwise noted. 26. Always shake the ketchup bottle. 27. The following things should always be able to kick your ass: ginger, whiskey, love and coffee. If they’re not, they’re not strong enough. 28. Low-hanging fruit is for the lazy and cowardly. Within challenges, risks and uncertainties lay the best rewards. 29. [...]
25 Things I’ve Learned in Life So Far: Wisdumb For the Ages
by Karen Z. unless otherwise noted. 1. Always smile and say hello to those you pass on a hiking trail. You have something important in common. 2. Learn how to tell time by the sun’s location or a clock tower’s toll. Time is not on your wrist. 3. Always wear your eye glasses on a [...]
Abuelos, Grande y Grande, Grande
There is a freedom in surrendering to far more powerful phenomena, accepting its influence. The billions of seconds and billions of variables that decided you be here right now– the percentage of them that had nothing to do your own motion, nothing to do with your conscious thoughts. If I think back in my life [...]
Vegan Red Lobster Cheese & Garlic Biscuits
Had I not wanted to allow for internet searchers to easily find these vegan Red Lobster cheese and garlic biscuits, I would have called these my “Holy Sh*t Motherscratcher Ever-Lovin’ Biscuits”… or some such name that adequately expresses my great excitement about them. Many, like me, have fond memories of chomping on Red Lobster‘s complimentary [...]
Vegan Mofo #13: The Good Fight
Living in New York City and surrounding myself with friends and loved ones who complement and support my being vegan, or at least have gotten over constantly challenging, simplifying, arguing against and calling attention to this choice, I have forgotten the conflicts of being vegan in a non-vegan world.

Children were also working, as they provided cheap labor to employers and laws against child labor were not strongly enforced. With the long hours and [...]
Elephant Nature Park
I knew Elephant Nature Park would be an amazing experience when I booked a full-day tour… back in August of 2007. The 50-acres of jungle, mountains and river about an hour North of Chiang Mai is a sanctuary for 31 elephants, ages 4 to 76, rescued from illegal logging companies, abusive tourist/trekking outfits and/or panhandling [...]
Training Myself Not to Care
New York City is making me hostile. Given the close quarters and large population, I am forced into knowing, in many cases intimately, 8 million people a bit more that I want to. I am within their conversations, their breath. The elbow pokes on my ribcage, graze of arm hair, the volume of a hundred [...]
Buy Nuttin Day
This past Wednesday during my lunch break I had errands to run. Pancake, my canine life partner, was in dire need of a shampoo and, in order to avoid weeks of a clogged tub and no response from the landlord, I set out to buy an assortment of drain stopper thingies and dog shampoo. I [...]
