Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

piecesinprogress:

I don’t try vegan baking often and was a bit wary of using the avocado but this turned out to be one of the most moist, rich desserts I’ve ever whipped up! It was really simple to throw together and is filled with healthy fat from the avocado, whole grain & has the heart healthy benefits of cocoa. It’s one of those recipes that tastes heavenly and just happens to be great for you too. You could even add other berries like strawberries or blueberries. Seriously, this is one you definitely have to try and don’t forget to top it with tons of fresh raspberries! :)

facetious-runner: Ladies & Gentlemen I interrupt your regularly scheduled programming for an important message. This is your weekend rally cry. You’re “get off your butt” and be a productive member of society post. The East Coast is in distress. Donate money, send a care package, do something. Don’t sit around and think that “other people” will do something. Be that person. Get a box, rummage through your cabinets; I know you have that odd can of soup you’ll never eat, or that dried fruit you swore you’d eat instead of Cheetos. And don’t try to convince me you don’t have those couple sweaters collecting dust in the back of your closet. No, you’re not ever going to change your mind and think they’re not ugly. Put them to good use. Send a care package. It’s easy to brush of pleas from other countries when they have disasters. Sadly we have the mind frame “they’re not like us.” This time you don’t get that excuse. Last week, they were just like you, fretting about what Halloween costume to wear, and if they person they like will text them back. Today, they’re concerned if they’ll eat or have heat. Do something. Be that person.  Here is a good donation address. Saint Mark SchoolC/O Michael Hendry2602 East 19th StreetBrooklyn, NY 11235
