Generous cheers for superstar vegan baker and animal activist Doron...I hope to be just like you when I grow up!  ;)
Top Washington D.C. Vegan Bakery Sticky Fingers
to Support Born Free USA on World Wildlife Day, March 3
"Sticky Fingers, the premiere vegan bakery in Washington D.C. and two-time “Cupcake Wars” winner, has created two special wildlife cupcake designs – a lion and a monkey – to support Born Free USA, a leader in animal welfare and wildlife conservation, in conjunction with World Wildlife Day on Monday, March 3, 2014.
The World Wildlife Day Born Free USA cupcakes will be sold Monday, March 3 at the Sticky Fingers shop (1370 Park Rd NW, Washington, D.C. 20010). The cupcakes are $4.00 each with $1.00 of each cupcake going to Born Free USA."

If you live in DC, get there and get cupcakes!
If not, make Doron's sinfully cinnamony El Caliente Cupcakes, then go volunteer at your local wildlife rescue or donate something on their wishlist or just go hug your favorite moose!  ;)










What's up with World Wildlife Day?
36% of all species on earth are at risk of extinction. Tens of thousands of elephants are being killed every year. One every 15 minutes. Wild rhinos have to be protected by armed guards day and night and we are still losing the battle.
Youth of today own the social media platform. We rule it with our individual and collective voices. This is powerful and we can make change!  Let's speak up about the illegal wildlife trade and reverse this crisis.
It's  World Wildlife Day. Let's do more than pledge, let's act.

A Spice of Wine and Cinnamon

Cheers to National Mulled Wine Day!
An excellent end to a brisk sunny day...

A few other feisty brews...
My Warm, Spicy Wine

Mulled Wine

Perfect Mulled Wine
from Felicity Cloake via The Guardian

Okay, officially it's National Mulled Wine Day, but how about an option for those who don't take a shine to wine? Well since mulled wine is made with cinnamon and cinnamon is my favorite spice and it's incredibly healthy for you, and since there is no holiday commemorating it (can you believe it?!) I dare to declare today National Cinnamon Day!

Plus it gives me an excuse to use Penzeys' wonderful Cinnamon!  :)
