Stop cruelty to vegetables, eat meat!

Very nice, veggie rights! lol *****
Im glad she killed that tomato
Call any vegetable
Call it by name
And the chances are good
That that vegetable will respond to you . . .

Happy Valentine’s Day
…okay…
Was that a typical evening in Joanne’s kitchen or did you run out and shop for veggies before the shoot?! What exactly were you making? Did everyone stay for dinner?!
What an appetizing segment. The lighting and focus on food made it look like it belonged on the Food Channel. Hmm!! Perhaps you should submit it there. Look out Rachel Ray. Joanne is moving in on your turf.
Mon Due! I love it!
I love all of the accents. And the potassium in balance.
That’s Mon Dieu! I was at Harvard!
Good stuff
Really good stuff
Well done
HAHA! I loved it when Cletus opened his ears!
Why is the inside of that potato so dark? +1 for potassium imbalance as well.
I have a TED talk suitable for Valentines Day. Helen Fischer talks about the science of love and the future of women:

Love Helen Fisher, but man she skipped around alot!
Maybe she had a time constraint that kept her from sticking to one bit until it was fleshed out sufficiently.
Kinda like listening to Yoda on RedBull.
Yeah, I think they’re limited to 18 minutes per talk.
Those ears of corn overheard everything.
“Nice cutlery!”
This makes me so happy! :-P
Yeah, vegetables are living being!! Stop eating them! Eat babies, instead…
The Secret Life of Plants-Indeed!
Now if only that damn spiderplant would get up early enough to start the car when it’s useful! 7pm is fine for him, but I need it at 7:30AM.
(damn spiderplant!, grumble grumble)
The boiling sprouts were the best!
Hi Joanne,
I wanted to wish you a Very Happy Valentine’s Day…!!!!
Just let me know where to send the roses… ;)
XOXOX
Opps…. sorry about the link on that last coment. Typos ya know.. ;)
This one should work now.
Have a great day beautiful.
XO
Hmmmm… the links don’t seem to be working.
OK, one last time.
Try it now…. :)
If not then come visit me at http://www.myspace.com/winecrazy
mmmm, you seem to be a fast typer, no wonder you couldn’t be able to type in “myspace”, or maybe that happened to you when you’ve typed in “myspcace”, maybe you need to re-edit your url
I wish I can send a request to Drew to change your url from “myspcace” to “myspace”…if I can…
…I don’t know what to say. It was pleasant -there.
Urks, i didn´t like todays episode. Didn´t match my sense of humor…
hahahaha! I love it!
Thank you for making me smile!
nice Chopin in the background!
thank God for reincarnation :)
I wish my kitchen looked so good. You can tell certain things by a persons kitchen & the pots, pans & knives they use. Anolon is a great brand but I don’t use plastic cutting boards, only wood. This article explains a little.
Them’s some big ass mushrooms! & Happy V day
Fascinating.
I have both wood and plastic boards and clean them a little fanatically. Plastic is good and I’ve never had a rpoblem with scarred boards making anyone sick.
But you don’t get that incredibly satisfying “thwok” you get on a wood board, either.
I do wonder exactly what constitutes a “scarred” plastic board in the lexicon of the researchers.
What……. just happened?
The future of PETA? The next organism rights propaganda video? Lets examine:
* Remember that the flowers that you give or receive during your coupling ritual were once some other organism’s reproductive organs.
* ברוך ×’’מילי
* Fruits were once flowers.
* Seeds are plant babies.
nice. frightening. original. Joanne, will you be my Valentine?
That was depressing. Great video.
This fuckin’ guy is pissing me off!
Hey Kam, Leave it To Cleaver!
Joanne’s cleaver!
I need a photoshopped image here.
Yeah that guy is pissing me off too.
What, no asparagus!
A Vegan Valentine’s Day
Wow, lesbian cows! good to see you back in form my man-B
Was abducted by Joanne’s sock. Spent 12 days locked up in a front load dryer while gangs of mutant socks watched me spin as they played around with the remote. Luckily an overweight Maytag repair guy sucking on a humongous donut dropped a chunk on the floor right in front of me. Our eyesballs met…and he reluctantly unlocked the door, otherwise, I would have been hung out to dry by now.
bman (still suffering from shrinkage)
What can I say, love hurts.
hmmm, that cupid always misses me…
Thanks for all the great comments, much appreciated, happy valentines day!
i loved it
I knew vegetables had feelings. Now I tell my mom I need not have too eat my veggies.
Someone’s been shopping at Whole Foods.
That was so original. I love it. Sentimental, yet macabre.
a plane ticket to New York 250.00 dollars
a new steamer pan full of fancy teas and candys w/ a rose bush for spring planting and all the fixings for a killer crumb top apple pie 300.00 dollars
fixing dinner for joanne on valentines day priceless
There are some things money can’t buy.
For everything else, there’s Rocketboom…and there’s MasterCard.
A childhood poem comes to mind and, it’s Saint Valentine’s so, I shall indulge -
I eat my peas with honey
I’ve done it all my life
It makes the peas taste funny
But it keeps them on the knife.
Anon. Collected by Edward Lear
I eat my peas with Jello
It’s something that I saw
It makes the peas taste weirdo
But it beats snorting them through a straw
lol :D Joanne that poem is great! And Kam, yours is good for having just come up with it.
I eat my peas with seaweed
It makes them kind of squeak
It sure does pack in nutrients
But everyone thinks I’m a freak
Out here there’s lots of seaweed
To go with all your peas
What I’d rather use is my weed
Then they’re guaranteed to please
Not only packed with nutrients
And, er…. vitamins so to speak
Most people give me compliments
(& people, let me tell you something, the cool thing is,)
Everyone knows that I’m a freak
I eat my peas on license plates
Yes, I know it’s true.
But if your plate said I-F3L-GR8
Wouldn’t you do it to?
I wanna be a banana.
OK! You are a banana my son, don’t slip up, or get electrocuted, get it? electrical banana, mellow yellow…Donovan, the 60’s, ah skip it…
Sorry, had to break the “400″ rule on this one.
I have a weakness for anyone who can successfully wield a honing steel.
But luv, you MUST wipe the honed blade off before actually cutting food with it. The point of honing is to scrape little bits of metal loose from the blade. You have to ensure they don’t end up in your dish.
And I always score the root end of my sprouts.
And if you steam them instead of immersing them, you lose fewer nutrients.
(whine whine whine)
Enough nitpicking. Fancy a pinot noir alongside? or perhaps a nice Colombard? I’ll even bring the foil cutter.
Thank you for the tips. You never know, a few metal bits might add untold mineral properties to a meal. And about scoring sprouts, who has time. Seriously, the day I was shown the technique of putting onions whole into the pot, skin and all, my food prep steps changed dramatically.
I agree about steaming. I don’t do that much these days. Raw is the way to go. The time you save on cooking, you can spend on chewing.
There is much to be said for raw. But there is nothing like the proper fond on a well-sauteed vegetable, still a tad raw in the center and rescued from the pan just before the brown skin turns to char. There’s a reason humans have been cooking with fire for 30,000 years.
As for sprout-scoring time: that is what life is for. Crank the tunes — even a bit of the lovely Ludwig Van from time to time - swirl a bit of well-selected mid-price wine through your brain, but not so much as to dull your aim with the blade. And put some food by you’d be happy to serve to the Lord Herself.
I so pity those who subsist on takeout.
& if you really don’t wanna eat your veg!

If anyone can tell me what this girl is saying
I’ll send you a bundle of organic asparagus. I think she was hit by too many zinged vegetables.
I love you rocketboom!

“With regards to release times, we’ll be early and on-time from here on out, saving any problems from meteorites, dinosaurs or nukes.” Drew
Aaha, just as I suspected:
The US gov’t knows they don’t have a chance in hell of knocking out that falling spy satellite, so they’re testing RB’s red rocket which has far greater precision to do the job. Expect Casual Monday from the Pentagon.
In the mean time, share the love…

This movie is an explicitly anti-Church of Scientology movie that was funded by millionaire Bob Minton. It never got released because somehow the Church of Scientology made him back down and block the release of the film.
This scene by the way actually happened in real life. Read “A Piece of Blue Sky” by Jon Atack.
