My copy of Katie Hubbard’s vegan zine Don’t Eat Off the Sidewalk arrived yesterday. I’m really excited to start making some of the recipes, and I think I’d like to start with the biscuits. As of two days ago, Katie still had 40 copies left of issue #1. I would strongly recommend spending your $2.50 (including shipping) on a copy. Issue #2 will be out soon.
