It&#8217;s hard to believe I&#8217;ve had this blog or some iteration of this blog for nearly a decade (okay, I started Prairie Vegan in 2007, so there is still a few years left, darn honesty.) When I&#8217;m prowling around on Vegan MoFo Participating blogs, I always like getting to know some of the bloggers participating, especially if I&#8217;ve never read their stuff before, and enjoy when folks put up an intro post, so here I am doing it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/veganmofo.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5097\" src=\"https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/broccoliweb.jpg\" alt=\"Vegan Mofo\" width=\"300\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/broccoliweb.jpg 300w, https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/broccoliweb-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/broccoliweb-250x250.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m MeShell (I&#8217;ve been using that name since high school, so it&#8217;s stuck, but no, my parents didn&#8217;t ever write it like that), I live in Toronto, with my lovely partner JC, and our 3 cats (plus a\u00a0nephew-cat,) I&#8217;ve been vegan since somewhere in the late 90&#8217;s, and I&#8217;m originally from Edmonton.\u00a0A few months ago my partner and I opened up an online vegan grocery store called the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vwordmarket.com\">V Word Market<\/a>, and it&#8217;s been keeping us pretty busy, and people have been pretty excited &#8211; which is exciting!

Still not great at it. But I&#8217;ll tell you all about my shitty breakfast tomorrow. (P.S.
