This week has just flown by. I’m actually surprised it’s already Thursday, but it’s the time again. Things I Love Thursday! Weeee!<\/p>\n

APieCalypse Now!<\/h2>\n

If you’ve vegan in Toronto, I’m sure you’ve heard, but in case you haven’t, APieCalypse Now! Vegan Bakery<\/a> opened this weekend in the Annex. After having some trouble with old pipes and Toronto’s own experience with the Polar Vortex, JC & I finally got to really dig in to some delicious APieCalypse treats on Saturday during their grand opening.<\/p>\n

My pal Nicole did a great overview of the new bakery and space on her site<\/a>\u00a0(and I agree with everything she said), so I wont go into too much detail on the space other than the logo is amazing, and everything looks delicious. I got a bunch of yummy stuff, and was thrilled at the quality and service. (& I reviewed it on yelp<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\"APieCalypse<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m really excited that there is a place that I feel 100% confident that serious thought has gone into making each item ethical, beautiful, and delicious. When I buy things, I spend a lot of time thinking about my purchases and how they impact humans and non-human animals, and I feel like I can really trust the effort that’s been put into making these products happen. One more thing I loved were all the free vegan & animal rights info cards (made & designed by the bakery owner) right at the front by the register.<\/p>\n

I’m planning on checking it out again later today when I’m in the Annex. Their facebook page tells me there is\u00a0a Sea Shepherd Pie<\/a>\u00a0that I would like to buy. Also Magic Squares.<\/p>\n

Winter hours as of the moment are\u00a0Thursday 3-9, Friday & Saturday 12-7.<\/p>\n

Vegan Bakeries in General<\/h2>\n

Can I just say how amazing it is to me that vegan bakeries are popping up all over the city? I am just so excited for everyone starting a new business or continuing their business in an ethical and conscientious fashion. We have so many choices, and so many options in Toronto.<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/a><\/p>\n

Just yesterday I received a delivery of assorted vegan cookies and muffins from the lovemuffin bakery<\/a>. Vegan baked goods – delivered to my door. It’s ridiculously wonderful, and considering the weather we had yesterday – even more amazing. And on that note…<\/p>\n

Snow<\/h2>\n

There is something in me that gets overjoyed when it snows.\u00a0I like when it’s cold outside. Most of the time I blame it on being from Alberta, but I’m not sure if it can be summed up with that. Maybe it’s my inner child memories of putting on a bright pink snowsuit and going to “The Bowl” to toboggan down the hill that now seems much shorter than it did then back then.<\/p>\n

Yesterday I did the adult version of playing in the snow and spent about\u00a0an hour or two in the evening shoveling the front of our house and some of the sidewalks in my neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

Vegan Tasting Menu at George.<\/h2>\n

I’m going to have to go into more depth about this dinner at some point, but last week JC and I celebrated our third meet-a-versary at George.<\/p>\n
