Even in my carnivore days, I could not have dairy because of allergies, so being able to have whipped "cream" once more is a treat. K __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

It's the same stuff I had brought over from Germany for me. Lots of fun... but bit of a soya-y taste that takes some getting used to. Another great thing at Herb and Spice is Chicken Style Taquitos -also VEGAN and verry yummy, (although $$, 6.99 for 8 pieces). Since I've first bought it, the store started stocking more flavors, and tacos too..... but since I know I like the plain chicken style I don't dare spend my $$ on a flavor I might not like. http://www.starlitecuisine.com/PROD_taq-chick.html ----- Original Message ----- From: K To: For all discussion not animal related (health, environment,etc).

Presents: An Evening with Our Mentor: The evening will begin by meeting at Studio 55. There, we will enjoy a glass of wine and a brief tour of the works by artist Pablo Andreas, our resident Art Nouveau Artist and Student of Antonio Gaudi. Pablo will share his vision of a renaissance of the Art Nouveau Movement. Soon after, we will be escorted to Ottawa, arriving at the theatre where we will enjoy the film Antonio Gaudi. This a Gorgeous documentary on the works of the innovative Spanish Architect, produced by Hiroshi Teshigahara, staring the Buildings of Gaudi. To call Hiroshi Teshigahara's 1984 feature Antonio Gaud? a documentary about an architect is to misrepresent both the film and its subject. Catalan visionary Gaud? (1852-1926) designed structures so insanely imaginative that one feels the need to separate the man's work from everyone else who has ever toiled in his discipline. His fluid, rippling roofs and windows, his sparkling mosaics, his insect appendage-like pillars, and his uncanny ability to place all these elements in harmony with each structure's organic surroundings make 'architect' an insufficient word to describe Gaud?'s career; 'genius' will have to do until a better word comes along. The only thing more unlikely than the daring designs is someone funding their construction, and yet, happily, it happened time after time. Although this film does contain the occasional on-screen interview or text factoid, it functions not as an information-based documentary about Gaud?'s career, but as a travelogue of sorts, the camera slowly, lovingly capturing the supple nuances of the artist's glorious, otherworldly creations. This format makes for an intensely rewarding visual experience. - Eric Allen Hatch, Baltimore City Paper August 22, 2006, 4 PM You will arrive at Studio 55. at 4 PM and depart to Ottawa leaving at 5 PM. The screening is at 6:45. After we will enjoy an lovely meal at the Light of India, arriving back to Delta approximately 11 PM.

For your information, Studio 55 stile as a vision to include an organic veggie cafe, with some meat for the carnivore. We are blocked by plumbing issues right now, but this could come together as early as next spring. With the right partner to manage the project, us supplying the space, it could begin to realize anytime. We see this as a three season opportunity for the first 5 years, until Delta comes to life as a destination for arts and culture. If you wish to talk this up with your communty, feel free do so.

Message-ID: 1) August 23: Iraqi feminists speak in Ottawa on the dangers to women?s rights in Iraq at the Ottawa Public Library Auditorium,120 Metcalfe at 6:30 pm. Shimeran Odesho is the Secretary General of the Iraqi Women?s Union and Fatima Jassim is the General Secretary of Iraqi Women Rising. Both groups have been organizing for women?s rights despite the dangers facing them in this work. Shimeran was the target of an assassination attempt only three weeks ago. They are on a brief tour that will include Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. Well-known Canadian feminist Judy Rebick will chair the meeting. It is co-sponsored by Alternatives, the Canadian Council of Moslem Women and the CAW Sam Gindin Chair in Social Justice at Ryerson University. ?We never hear about what is happening to women in Iraq,? said Ms. Rebick. ?This will be a unique opportunity to cut through all the propaganda we hear about Iraq and find out what is actually happening to the people there.? 2) August 24: Concert for Lebanon 7:30 pm at the Bronson Centre, 21 Bronson Ave. This event is a benefit for humanitarian aid to Lebanon, and is open to all communities. We hope that, for at least one evening, people can put their differences aside and come together for a wonderful evening of music. Kevin Dooley and friends will play traditional Celtic/Irish music; Tito Medina, a singer-songwriter and an icon for Guatemalan revolutionary music will play music in solidarity with peace movements worldwide; and Orient Express, an ensemble of local musicians and artists, will draw inspiration from traditional Lebanese songs in their performance. 3) August 25: Critical Mass bike rally for Climate Justice in Confederation Park at 5:30. Leave at 6pm. Critical Mass is a worldwide movement of bicyclers reclaiming the streets. Bring bikes, skateboards and other human powered vehicles, banners, signs, costumes, puppets, clever chants, donations for Katrina relief funds, and dreams of an oil-free world! This ride also marks the emergence of Ottawa Earth First!, a collective of individuals in the capital region dedicated to no compromise, direct action oriented environmental organizing. To get involved, hit up ottawaearthfirst at resist.ca. Rising Tide North America - working to support and encourage people and grassroots groups in taking action against the causes of climate change. www.risingtidenorthamerica.org 4) September 22: James Howard Kunstler (interviewed in the film End of Suburbia) will speak in Ottawa at the Adult High School, 300 Rochester Street at 7:30pm on Sept. 22, which is International Car Free Day. Admission is $10 (figure to be confirmed).
