Last week was National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week. All week I struggled to post something that would make people understand what I've seen since working at Phoenix Rescue Mission. Should I hunt for statistics from Maricopa County? Should I describe the dramatic increase in families coming to us for emergency food boxes and hot meals from the dining hall? Maybe if I let people know we desperately need sponsors for the 800 families we have signed up for our Adopt a Family program or how many turkeys we still need for Thanksgiving... Nothing I came up with seemed right.

Until this morning. Please take a minute and watch this video on CBS 5's website. It will make you more "aware" than anything I could have written.

Who doesn't love a listicle? You know you're too busy/distracted/lazy to read anything more in-depth! This here is a tiny post ABOUT two listicles, even shorter for faster digestion. It's like pre-chewed food! Let us feed you information, baby birds.

First is our Laura's list of "50 Vegetarian or Vegan Things to Eat Before You Die in SF" at 7x7. I totally agree that the spicy samusa soup at Burma Superstar is amazing and delicious, but the dosas at Udupi Palace are way cheaper and tastier than whatever at Dosa, which is full of itself.

Second is Sonia Mansfield's list of "Bay Area's Best Vegetarian & Vegan Dining Spots" at CBS Local San Francisco. She puts Souley Vegan at the top, which, you know, I have eaten there a couple times now and while it is good, it is not my favorite--too salty. Maybe I just don't like soul food? Or something is wrong with me, because I don't think Flaco's taquitos are super-good, either. Cha-Ya, though, oh sweet delicious Cha-Ya. I could marry that dengaku.
