Last weekend, I met up in Seattle with two new Danish friends for lunch at Wild Ginger. This restaurant, in case you travel to this lovely part of the world (do bring an umbrella, just in case because it could very likely be “raining cats & dogs”), has its own vegan menu! This was our first meeting…two vegans and one vegetarian! I find it totally fantastic how the Universe has conspired, since I wasn’t able to make it back to Denmark this month, to bring these amazing Danish women to me (so far I’ve met six new amazing Danish women this month who all live around this area and we’ve never met before! I’m thrilled!)
Three Danish Veggie Loving Musketeers
Well, let’s get back to the food. I know that’s really what you want to hear about! Although, our conversations about our lives in the United States, what is happening to our food choices, family, politics, relationships…even down to non-leather bags, would have been so much more interesting to dig into, but I will refrain…You would have had to have been there, but at least I can show you what went down on the dining table!

First we had…
Nina, it was really wonderful to meet you in person. How special it is to spend time with two women who seamlessly flow between deep conversation on topics that are close to our hearts and minds while also just chatting about daily stuff. I am looking forward to many more get togethers.
Liselotte, thank you! I agree! I am so glad that you found me and introduced me to Charlotte as well! Looking much forward as well! I am sure this was just the first of many such wonderful conversations!
Essays like this are so important to brnaedniog people’s horizons.
Thank you, Lakiesha! Hoping to broaden people’s horizon’s and perceptions of who are and what is “vegan”!
The Future is vegan! Big companies and folks with money are starting to pay attention. Maybe it’s time the rest of the world did as well!
