and_it_spoke (http://vegweb.com/index.php?action=profile;u=52820) is our marvelous Superstar VegWebber of the Week! He's raising two ADORABLE veg kids with his equally awesome wife, and he's totally rad while doing it. Seriously, if every dad were this cool, the whole world would be vegan, and writing amazing Fantasy novels. Oh, and playing D&D. I'd normally poke fun at this but my boyfriend plays on the regular and it is FUN. Yay awesome veg gamers! Let's take over the world! And congrats again, and_it_spoke, for helping to make VegWeb such a great place on the internet!

VegWebber since?

December 09, 2005

Vegetarian, Vegan or ?

Vegan*
I say vegan as not to confuse "the norms" (thanks, hh!), but on occassions (which are becoming rarer and rarer) will eat cruelty-free eggs or honey. I have be able to visit the facilities, before I'll even consider it.

Where do you call home?

Ohio! The middle part!

What do you do when you're not on VegWeb?

Work, and raise two mini-herbivores with my lovely wife. I also do free-lance voice work, listen to a ridiculous amount of music, read and occasionally nerd out with some D&D.

Do you have blog or website?

Not so much.

Do you tweet?

Only when reading certain books with my kids. Oh, you mean the ComputerInterWebs thing...

One unique thing should know about you?

I have a library card autographed by Greg Graffin, lead singer of Bad Religion.

I can also fly.

What’s the best thing about being vegan? (if you are!)

That it eases my concience. As a recovering Catholic, I do guilt well. Not having to feel guilty for removing another living creature from the planet... that's nice.

Favorite romantic recipe on VegWeb?

Romantic, eh? Pick one. My wife just loves that I do the cooking.

Favorite recipe on VegWeb to make for non-vegans to show them how amazing vegan food can be?

This chocolate cake. Seriously, evertime I make it, someone says, "There is NO WAY this is vegan!"

One thing you wish you could make vegan but haven’t succeeded at yet?

Someday, us vegan food scientists will figure out cheese... I'm certain.

#1 Cooking secret/tip?

Don't be afraid of spices.

Best music to cook by?

All of it.

Three people you'd most like to have dinner with?

Seriously? Just some friends who I haven't seen in ages. I'd just make a jack-ass out myself in front of anyone prominent/famous.

All time favorite restaurant?

Udipi Cafe in Columbus, OH

French fries or ice cream?

Onion Rings.

Soy milk, rice milk, almond milk?

Soy!

Tofu, tempeh, or seitan?

Tofu. It's just so versatile.
