SOUPS

Will keep several hours out of the fridge.

WRAPS

Wraps rolled in lettuce leaves and collard will keep for several hours out of the fridge.

RAVIOLI

Assembled ravioli with wrappers made from such vegetables as sliced beets will keep for a few hours out of the fridge.

PIZZA

All assembled pizzas will keep for at least a few hours out of the fridge.

NOODLES

All noodles will keep for several hours or more when stored separately from sauces. Liquid will begin to release, so these are best enjoyed immediately. I don’t mind extra juice in my noodles, though.

SANDWICHES

All sandwiches will keep for a few hours out of the fridge when assembled, and longer when their components are stored separately.

PIES AND SWEET SAUCES

Pies will keep for a few hours at room temperature, depending on the fruit filling. Sweet sauces will also keep for several hours.

Eating on the Road

BEFORE I TRAVEL, I research to locate local co-ops, health food stores, and farmers’ markets at my destination. Most restaurants have fresh vegetables available, usually as salads. Most will use conventional produce, so remember to have gratitude and to do the best you can.

I pack my crackers, cereal, bread, seasoned nuts, wrappers, cake, cookies, and sheets of nori. I use avocado and vegetables to make sandwiches with my bread, wraps with my wrappers and nori sheets, and snack on seasoned nuts, cake, and cookies. I sprinkle on my bacon and Buckwheat-Battered “Fried” Onion Rings to spruce up a boring salad, or munch on them as snacks.

RAW FOR DOGS

I MAKE KANGA a birthday cake every year to celebrate the day I found and rescued her. Or rather, the day she rescued me.

KANGA, MY DOG

Dogs help to relieve our stress. Kanga, my Rhodesian Ridgeback, makes me laugh all the time. She reminds me to take breaks to walk her and hug her and acts as my compost bin, eating all my leftovers. Kanga loves everything I make.

Dogs should not eat onion, macadamia nuts, or chocolate (all are poisonous to them in even small amounts), and sweets. The following recipes are good to use to make your pooch treats that he or she will love you for.

RESOURCES

In this section I’ll offer some tips and inspiration for helping to tower our carbon footprint when traveling and while in our homes I list several Web sites, including my own, AniPhyi.com, where you can find uncooking videos, recipes, kitchen tools, appliances, organic ingrredients, and water kefir grains. And, I’ll recommend a few of my favorite films that’ll hopefully change the way you view our world. They did for me.

REDUCING YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT

I do as much as I can every day to reduce my carbon footprint. Although these suggestions aren’t doable for everybody, here’s a list of ideas to help you tread more lightly on the planet:

TRANSPORTATION

*Walk or bike whenever possible.

*When available, take public transit on local trips.

*If you have a car, limit its use as much as possible, even if you have a Prius or other energy-efficient vehicle.

*Take a bus or train rather than short airplane trips.

SAVING ENERGY AND MONEY IN YOUR HOME.

*Install compact fluorescent bulbs in all your light fixtures, and dispose of bulbs safely as they contain mercury.

*Weatherproofing your home is a good idea, as is insulating your water heater or switching to a tankless heater that heats water as you need it.

*In cold months, wear more layers indoors and keep your thermostat low.

*When you are ready to replace your appliances, buy energy-efficient appliances.

*Wash clothes only when your machine is full.

*Dry your clothes on a clothesline when possible.

*Defrost your fridge and freezer regularly.

*Unplug electronics when not in
