My usual partner in eating, JC, is currently in Fabulous Barcelona on business, so yesterday I went to the Chili For Charity – All You Can Eat Chili Fundraiser<\/a> at Sadie’s Diner<\/a> (504 Adelaide Street West, Toronto) by myself. I love that Sadie’s does these events and for a variety of causes, it just makes me like them more. They’ve held these fundraisers for the Toronto Vegetarian Association<\/a>, Animal Ark II<\/a>, and one of my favourite groups – Toronto Cat Rescue<\/a> (the organization we found Emmiecat<\/a> from).<\/p>\n

I had three bowls of delicious chili, handfuls upon handfuls of tortilla chips, entered into some TVA Raffles (I hope I win – there was a T-shirt there that was oh so soft) and heard updates on projects friends are doing<\/a>. So overall, great evening.<\/p>\n

Then on Friday there is a fundraiser for Harvest Noon Cafe<\/a> – Check it out on facebook – Locally Grown: A fundraiser for Harvest Noon Cafe<\/a>– The Harvest Noon Cafe in the GSU building on U of T’s St. George Campus at 16 Bancroft Avenue, Toronto.<\/p>\n

Harvest Noon Cafe is a 100% volunteer run restaurant\/cafe\/student eatery, with a focus on serving food that is locally, sustainably, and organically grown. Add to that, it’s also organized (in part) by fellow blogger Willie, from Until We Eat Again<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The big one this week is on Thursday (tomorrow! I’m so excited) FoodShare is having a Recipe for Change<\/a> fundraiser.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go or if it was worth going (at least in terms of actually expecting to eat something) but when I saw a list of at least three overtly vegan dishes from various chefs<\/a> I bought tickets, especially when it’s for such a great cause. Well, today I emailed the organizers and got an awesome fast response (from a fellow vegan that works at FoodShare – thanks Adrienne!) with a list of delicious stuff I could stuff my face with.<\/p>\n

When I look at a list like this, it’s impossible to feel like I’d be missing out on something. I’m really looking forward to it.<\/p>\n
