Got to meet not one, but THREE people I admire this week for ’s new book release🥰✨

I had already pre-ordered a signed copy of Korean Vegan: Homemade from a local bookstore in CA before hearing about the book tour stop in Seattle 🙃, so I got a ticket to event anyway, which came with another opportunity for a signed book. So I decided to offer the community a giveaway, because IN THESE TRYING TIMES a little kindness goes a long way, at least I think so🥰

In line I met local long-time vegan Ronnie () who just visited Korea so we had a fun convo about the vegan scene there!

After tons of DMs and Instagram fan-girling I got to meet Joanne aka and what a sweetheart she is! Book tours can be grueling but she and her husband were a ray of sunshine.

I then got to tell her about my giveaway winner and photojournalist/activist/badass and Joanne wrote a special message for her in the book. And today I got to meet Patty IRL and what an incredible person she is.☺️

I know the vegan food scene in Seattle seems very bleak and harder times are likely ahead, but with this community we can make magic happen.

So many of you are already organizing food and $ drives for local food banks, meal trains, and more and I hope to be as active and at the very least amplify those efforts, so please send me whatever you’d like shared.

I’d also love to plan a Korean Vegan potluck so those of us with a book full of new recipes can share with those who would like a hot meal.

So much love to this community.❤️

Let’s get BORING together..😆

Anyone else just love something that others would call boring or lame?

That’s me and green peas.🫛 Don’t even need salt or pepper, I just love them!

People think I dine out at every meal, but most times it’s just pretty boring stuff at home, not only to save money, but because I genuinely love vegetables and don’t need a lot of pizazz to enjoy them!

Plain-ish tofu is growing on me, too..
maybe I’m unwell 😆

What’s your favorite boring AF meal that you could have again and again?

I’d love to know..🤗
