tis the yellow grain referred to as maize, that go'est BANG when thou dost heat it well and proper.

What's the book about? I can only find reference to cookbooks on google :)

Harvey Milk was a great doco, really enjoyed it, so sad in the end :(

PS: oh I have been lax in vegan over the past year :| .. well I haven't been fussy is all with refusing foods or avoiding eating just as something has dairy. Maybe that's why my belly is getting bigger, either that or AGE .. (getting old you see ;)

There's also a movie out now about this guy. Somehow the title "milk" just doesn't seem quite right :D
