So it turns out that I’m still not feeling 100%. I may have over done it a bit today- Farmer’s Market, Auntie Loo’s Treats vegan bakery birthday celebration and Occupy Ottawa. And now I’m feeling like crap again! But at least I have some yummy vegan baked goods to cheer me up!
Auntie Loo’s Treats was having a 2-year birthday celebration today. There were tons of free samples and an all vegan BBQ by donation to support the Westminster Pet Sanctuary. I had at least one of pretty much all the samples: peanut butter chocolate cupcake, gluten free brownie, banana split cupcake, Earl Grey lemon cupcake and blueberry crumble bar. We also bought a cinnamon bun and a rocky road cupcake to go.
I spent some time talking to the people who run Westminster Pet Sanctuary. It was so nice to hear about the great work that they do and that they are all vegan. We foster kittens for the Humane Society and sometimes it can be frustrating that, although they care all lot about cats and dogs, they often have events that centre around meat – clearly a disconnect there. Anyways, it was nice to support an organization that gets that cats and dogs are no different than pigs and chickens.
