I’m having some withdrawl depression issues because of the quitting smoking thang, and I ain’t ashamed to admit it. I’m becoming convinced that the tobacco companies employ serious psychochemical torture in order to keep you addicted.
Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab & Black Phoenix Trading Post sent out four vegetarian and four cheese pizzas to the #occupyla protesters by way of Rocket Pizza today.
This morning’s #BPAL #ows donation: $844.00 to the New York General Assembly to help supply the protesters with food, sleeping blankets, tarps, and other much-needed supplies.

This is geared towards making sure your family is fed and housed, that your crops are abundant and healthy, and that you are able to lay the groundwork for a prosperous, secure, successful future.

Cauliflower Sauteed With Turmeric
This recipe is fast, easy, cheap, and good for your prostate. Obviously, omit the parmesan if you’re vegan.
What you need:
1 lb cauliflower
7 tablespoons vegetable stock or vegetable broth
2 tsp turmeric
3 tsp garlic paste (use fresh garlic if you’re not a lazyass like me)
2 tsp parmesan
2 tsp chopped cashews
1/2 tsp black salt
Pinch of black pepper
Cut the cauliflower florets into quarters. Put the stock / broth, black salt, turmeric, garlic, and black pepper into a skillet, mix it up and heat. Once the broth mix starts to steam, toss in the cauliflower and cover. Cook for seven minutes. Top with parmesan and cashews.
Pizza for the People! Our friends Karyn, Ali, and Courtney will be helping #BPAL & #BPTP distribute pizzas in support of #occupywallstreet! If you’d like to join them in bringing food to the protestors, meet them at Liberatos Pizza (17 Cedar Street) tomorrow at 12:30 pm.

Per Anjou:
1. Pre-wash and pre-soak your fabric. It is best to use 100% natural fabrics that are undyed. I have recently fallen in love with China silk habotai because it’s elegant and billowy without the price pitfall of crepe de chine.
2. Chop up your food source into little tiny bits (but not so tiny that they can’t be strained out). For onions and plums, use only the skins
3. Prepare the water base in a large pot: add the water in a 2:1 ratio of water to food source (so if you have 2 cups of chopped bits, add 4 cups of water)
4. Boil the mixture for approximately an hour
5. Strain out food source and return liquid dye to pot
6. Add salt or vinegar, depending on the food source, to the water and mix. For fruits and vegetables, add 1/2 cup of salt to every 8 cups of water. For plant material, add 1 part vinegar to 4 parts water). Salt and vinegar act as fixatives for the dye.
7. Add your pre-soaked fabric to the dye, stirring thoroughly, and bring up to a boil
8. Depending on how dark you would like the dyed fabric to be, boil your fabric in the dye for any length of time up to about an hour and a half. At that point, your dye is probably exhausted.
9. Hand wash your fabric in cold water and organic detergent at least twice to ensure that all of the dye and fixative are out of the fabric, rinse, and hang dry or lay flat.
