Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsMy wife and I are setting up a one-trip vegan food travel blog
Since I now have the next week on vacation, my wife and I have decided to go on a little foodie road trip! And since we're vegan, it'll be a different kind of perspective that we hope others might be interested in. The blog also isn't going to be a long term thing, just something that we keep updating for the next 4 to 5 days. And if it attracts enough of an audience, I think we might evolve it into a vegan cooking blog since my wife is quite the chef... BEHOLD!!! HANDMADE VEGAN MEATBALLS!!!

No worries, the blog won't be preachy, we're just gonna show you some cool shit and neat food!
Would anyone be interested in reading?

(12,167 posts)It's hard to find good healthy eats when traveling. I'd welcome your & your wife's tips.
Oh we can think of a few!
I'll be posting the link to the blog here in the lounge soon as soon as we're ready to go live. Still working on it.

(54,256 posts)Sorry, but in my world you're not allowed to call them meatballs unless they have actual MEAT in them.
I mean, more power to ya, but they're veggieballs.
Or greenballs.
Or something.
Anyway, good luck.

a : food; especially : solid food as distinguished from drink
b : the edible part of something as distinguished from its covering (such as a husk or shell)
Of course it also means the flesh of any living creature, but technically, I'm not going to grammar jail for using the word meat in this fashion! lol

(54,256 posts)And soyballs sounds vaguely lewd.
Possibly obscene, but not quite.
Well doesn't any balls sound lewd? come on, gimme a break lol
trof
(54,256 posts)But that's pretty much my limit unless there are extenuating circumstances.
Or mitigations.
Mitigations can be important too.
Have a nice evening.

(38,017 posts)I have a suggestion about images. You might want to reduce them in size. 4,754.17 KB and 5,312px × 2,988px is a bit much and will affect load times.

(10,345 posts)But I should've resized before upload and avoided the issue altogether.
But... Laziness.
I'm sorry though!!!!

I chose Blogger for two reasons...
1. Lifehacker recommended it.
2. It's within the google ecosystem of apps and programs. I like that.
