Aww! It’s Alexa werkin out with her little bb brother!
This week is pretty mellow, I guess. I haven’t felt very passionate about what to share with everyone this week. Or maybe it is because so much of the articles I felt were important this week have been about Baltimore and Nepal. So maybe this week I feel a little like I should share happy stuff, and hopefully everyone has been keeping up to date on the other events.
I will be spending my day prepping hubs lunches (chopped veggies and cookies), making homemade peanut butter, and doing some spring cleaning. What about you guys? Any weekend plans?
Good News:
I don’t eat Nutella anymore because of the dairy, but there are tons of fun ways to use nut shells in an eco friendly way.
This is an interesting article about how Daniel Patterson and Roy Choi are working to build a healthy fast food restaurant for lower income families.
I love Kaylah’s super inspirational article about biking everyday for 30 days.
Vegan Stuff:
Bite Size Vegan does a great post and video about vegan tattoos. She was so much more thorough than I was, and she gives great links to various products that are vegan.
Jon Stewart is opening up a sanctuary for animals? I forgive you leaving the Daily Show.
Oh and his wife is writing a book about how to live with animals. I am interested in this as well.
My birthday is coming up and I wish I could go to this Vegan Beer Festival that is happening the day before my birthday!
Vegan Shit At Franklin Fountain:
Okay so one of my favorite stores isn’t all vegan, but it offers a lot of customization for vegans. Franklin Fountain is an ice cream parlor that is gives a nod to soda jerks. They feature seasonal treats, rotating coconut milk ice cream, and tons more. So their recent blog post features these vegan snacks:
- Dairy-Free Strawberry and Green Tea Ice Creams (I am thinking of a rose soda with a scoop of green tea? Rose Matcha float anyone?)
- Looks like their Wiener Eiskaffee can be veganized (with their vegan vanilla ice cream and coconut whipped cream)
- Pinolero is the new soda drink… which looks super interesting- cornmeal, coconut cream, cocao and cinnamon
