Our Hobo Tuesday meal: Southern pulled pork and cole slaw sandwiches

Don’t forget about the book giveaway I’m hosting right now for Tar Sands. The book is about the dirty oil that is being shipped from Canada to the U.S. Now on to the post.

In Keeping with the Veggie Curious from Yesterday: The Vegetarian 100

Yesterday at Eat.Drink.Better, one of my fellow writers, Kelli, asked Have You Had the Vegetarian 100?
