Today, John and Colleen gear up for next weekend's Festival of India by interviewing Krishna, who's been involved in organizing this event for 10 years now. As a precursor to the Festival of India, be sure to check out the Spicy Dosa Eating Contest, to take place Monday, July 13 at Yonge Dundas Square; the spiciness is going to be off the charts.

Because food is their number one priority, John and Colleen also discuss Colleen's mixed results with cooking from Vegan Brunch, as well as the three new recipes John tried this week (Super Charge Me Cookies and vegan mac & cheese from Dreena Burton's website, and Mexican Millet from Veganomicon).

Speaking of food, when John and Liam write their vegan cookbook for herbivores with man-sized appetites, they might use one of the following ten titles, created by John, Colleen, and Jason:

10. Manly Vegan Meals: There ain't no pork in these beans
9. Manly Vegan Meals: Sausage schmossage
8. Manly Vegan Meals: Let's consume in excess of 5000 calories per day
7. Manly Vegan Meals: Milk is for babies
6. Manly Vegan Meals: Meals that rock me like a hurricane when I'm hungry like the wolf
5. Manly Vegan Meals: Two chickpeas at the same time
4. Manly Vegan Meals: Veggie burgers and a punch in the face
3. Manly Vegan Meals: For those who don't prance around in a dewy meadow wearing a sundress
2. Manly Vegan Meals: Eat more tofu, bitches!
1. Manly Vegan Meals: Tastetosterone

John and Colleen also address this week's emails, which discuss TVA's presence in this year Veg News awards voting, non-vegan vegan meat and dairy analogues in LA restaurants, and how Value Village is not, in fact, owned by Walmart.
