a vegan biologist in a bar?
I finally have some time to post something. I hope you spent a great Halloween night! Did you get lots of candies? Lately I've also started to work in a bar, it won't be for a long time I think, but I have some fun. It's funny to be a conservation biologist in a bar.. people ask me stuff about the sea and fish, so there's a lot of talking going on. Of course, I had to veganize it a little bit. Since a week ago, we have cappuccino made with soymilk which is fabulous, just tastes delicious! And people start asking for it even if I don't offer it. Some girls want to know more about vegan diet and about my theory that soymilk makes people prettier! ;) *blink blink*. Anyway, my action made it possible to actually have vegan couscous for the happy-hour night, vegan chocolate for the coffee, and so on for caffè macchiato, caffè-latte, chocolate cake and biscuits to go with the tea. I don't have the power to veganize the whole bar but in the short time there I want to spread around a bit of *vegan taste*.. Who knows that I might get some people who actually decide to change their habits.
But yeah, all this veganization and yes! -the data- are keeping me away from spending some time with my beloved one. So we're going to take 4 days off just for us very soon..
ps. I had problems with commenting on blogs lately, but I'm reading your blogs! sorry for that!

welcome back. working in a bar and spreading hte news of conservation sounds like a fun juxtaposition.
Hooray for the vegan community that we have such a friend like you to help spread a little knowledge and cheer. Your vegan additions to the bar sound wonderful. When you tell the girls that soymilk makes people prettier, how could they not believe you? You're a beautiful poster girl yourself!
Where are you and Perry going for your holiday?
we still don't know what to do.. we just want to spend the whole day together, and actually make some good plan for moving somewhere else in the near future! :)
Kudos for your vegan victories!... Do you live in Italy or the Netherlands? I noticed that in your profile :) I'm actually taking a trip to Amsterdam for a weekend in December (perks of working for an airline!). Any good places to suggest? Is this bar you work at in the Netherlands?? :)
Valentina, hope you enjoy your time away with your sweetie.
Love how you are spreading the word with your wonderful ways! Way to put the information out there in such a sweet way, as i know you know no other way. VERY WONDERFUL!
This is such a good post. Thanks for the smile, Valentina, and keep up the good work!!
Great to see you are taking the opportunity you have to spread the word.
Working is a bar can be real fun and it's wonderful to meet different people all the time.
ahh we have sooo much in common.. before my last batch of kiddies I too was a fish biologist and before that I spent many years as a waitress..
Bravo for spreading your vegan wisdom with others who are interested.
Hi Val! You make a difference everywhere you go, and this is just such a great story to read about. A bar...you'd not expect to make changes like you are and stir interest, but I think that's your personality that people are drawn to and you make them listen! :) You're so cute with the "soymilk makes you pretty!" I love that line now.
Congrats on making a difference, and such an obvious one!! Have fun when you go away with Perry. :) :)
you're so sweet! Thank you for being so close to me!
