Violet and Miranda on TV!!!

By

We were absolutely thrilled to be interviewed last year by Supreme Master TV for one of their kids’ programmes. Being long-term fans of The Loving Hut, her vegan restaurant chain, we knew the Supreme Master Ching Hai, but never in a million years expected to be invited to share our work on her vegan TV channel. We were very, very excited, but also very, very scared!

Then, after doing the interview, we were told that the kids’ show for which it was filmed was being shut down 😮 So that was that 😀

But then, yesterday, more than a year after the interview was filmed, I got a message from Supreme Master TV saying that our interview was going to be on a different show. They showed us the finished video and it’s so much more than just the interview.

Thank you to all the lovely people at Supreme Master TV for the huge amount of work you’ve done on this. We love it!

By the way, in the video Miranda is dressed as Claudia – one of the Girl Scout Twins. I was supposed to dress up as Reflecto Girl but I wimped out 😀

Claudia - from Marvellous Mildred and the Girl Scout Twins, a vegan comic for kids.

And, to avoid any misunderstandings, it should also be noted that, though the artwork from the wonderful Oliver’s Vegetables is featured repeatedly in this video, that is only because we have read it in one of our Storytime videos. It’s not one of ours. It is written by Vivian French and the brilliant artwork is by Alison Bartlett.

So here I am at Loving Hut in Belgium!  DSCN3354DSCN3278

 Tammy and I thought this was a fantastic place!  With fair trade organic lemonade!  And chocolate sponge cake!

We had cake first, of course, and this was fantastic.  Mmm tasty 🙂

And then it was time to try the Loving Hut burger!  This was delicious in a toasted sesame bun with vegan cheese and gherkins and onion slices 😀

Here is a painting from inside the Loving Hut – it says “The best way of life, is the veggie way”

I visited the Loving Hut several times during my stay in Leuven.  I went back for chocolate chip cookies, more cake, and on Thursday I tried the Broccoli pasta met champignons en roomsaus!  Which was absolutely brilliant!  I loved it!  Unfortunately by this time in the week my camera battery had run out, so I couldn’t take a photograph.  I did draw a picture of it:

Celebrate The Loving Hut and life in general

The Loving Hut in Brighton celebrated its 4th anniversary at the weekend and we were there!

Before the festivities got under way, some people competed in a show of strength and stamina.  Who will be the last left standing?

Then came the Lion Dance (a form of traditional dance in Chinese and other Asian countries, in which performers mimic a lion’s movements in a lion costume – so says Wikipedia.) There were 2 teams – from Brighton, in red, and from Crawley (including some of the Loving Hut staff) in white.

And of course, in spite of the fact that we are now raw most of the time, how could we not enter into the spirit of things?  We had Loving Hut Burger and chips, chik’n burger and chips and Peking style with rice. Yum!

Fantastic food! Fantastic place! Fantastic people!

Oh, and as we set off for home, sadly sooner than we would have liked, we couldn’t help noticing some of the participants of the Brighton Naked Bike Ride, celebrating life in their own way. (Look away now if you’re bashful)

Lucky at Loving Hut

By

We had to do some shopping in Brighton today so we indulged ourselves in a visit to the Loving Hut while we were there. Twice actually – once before we started shopping and again when we were finished.  On our second visit we were especially lucky because the lovely ladies at The Hut brought out two cupcakes on the house for me and Miranda while my husband waited for the dessert he’d ordered 😀

Love the Loving Hut

There was also pineapple fritters with ice cream but the camera battery died before we could record their beauty.

Ah Loving Hut ….. you never disappoint

(NB there were 3 of us – not just me being greedy 🙂 )
