I want to have a discussion with you all, because it is something that I have been very interested in for some time. When I was at university I actually did a whole dissertation on whether zoos were good or bad for animal welfare. I went in thinking that there was no way that zoos … Continue reading Can vegans support zoos?

100 POSTS!
How strange to think that this is now my 100th post on Taylor Tries Her Best! To think that I started this blog purely to talk about my newest vegan discoveries and now look at where we are! What's even weirder to think about is that I have written 100 posts, of which at least … Continue reading 100 POSTS!
Plant Kitchen Sweet Potato Katsu Curry
Well I messed this up ROYALLY! So we have had a very busy week and with the weather being what it has been this entire week, we decided to just head out and grab ourselves a ready meal.

The End of Camp NaNoWriMo
My end word total for my Camp NaNoWriMo project: 32,098 words My goal had been 30,000 but in hindsight I actually think I could have tried to push myself and tried a bigger target. In November the goal is 50,000 and with how my story was going and how much time I had to write, … Continue reading The End of Camp NaNoWriMo
