I Like Brooklyn In the Spring Time

With the coming of unseasonably warm temperatures is many neat things to do out and about in Brooklyn. The veg clan and I multi-tasked lunch with a charity cupcake sale with a craft sale in Park Slope to make the most of free time before the Monday drag. In the foreground here is my grey cupcake and, in the background, Farm Sanctuary‘s Vegan Bake Sale table outside in the sweltering heat schmoozing with the local foot traffic.

Having my dessert while I waited for my lunch, I chomped on a flour-heavy cupcake spread with grey matter and riddled with cookies and cream. Not the best vegan cupcake but for an extremely worthy cause. I adopted 3 cows from Farm Sanctuary back in 1994 when I first went vegetarian. After having stayed the farm some 10 years later, I got to meet Dolly, one of the surviving aging bovine I supported back then. What a wonderful place Farm Sanctuary is. 

Well worth the weekend wait, ‘Snice has become the standard in quality vegan sandwiches. Although I almost always opt for the Vegan Panini, today I tried the Philly Cheesesteak… with a ton of Daiya. (Looks like I am approaching another Daiya-out.) As per usual, ‘Snice did the trick. 

When he wasn’t tuning out the gal talk and day-dreaming about zombies, dragons and wizards, Tim brought the table some of ‘Snice’s treats to supplement the sale. Here is some sort of walnut and espresso bean-infused bundt cake and one of their signature cupcake (or lollipops). Neither I tried, being totally stuffed, but I had to snap their picture. 

Next up was the Food & Craft Sale at the Brooklyn Lyceum. There was a ton of cute stuff at the sale, including this tofu pirate from Panda With Cookie. It was too hot to shuffle past the patrons so we left in a jiff to resume Sunday duties of week prep.
