Just in case you haven't heard, there are all sorts of vegan bake sales happening the world over this next week. If you're not already baking and are looking for some treats to enjoy in your neighborhood you can find the nearest one here.
And if you live in my neighborhood, you have three to choose from. This Sunday (June 21) and next (June 28) there will be a table set up outside of locali in Hollywood from 11 to 5. On Thursday (June 25), you will find a booth next to the fountain at the City Hall Farmers' Market from 10 to 2.
Do you mind if I just plan your weekend? Because locali is awfully close to Griffith Park and makes a great place to pick up a sandwich on your way to go play. But for the next two Sundays you can also load up on all sorts of homemade treats to take on that picnic. If you park at the bottom of Ferndell and take that leisurely walk through the shade, then you will certainly need a cake break by the time you get to the picnic tables under the trees by the little playground. And if you choose to hike from there, up the trail to the Observatory then you will need some serious snacks at the top. And then again on the way back, I imagine you'll stop under those same trees at the top of Ferndell before heading home. And of course it would be sad to go home empty handed, so set some time, cash, and calories away for this Sunday and next.
The Thursday sale downtown will benefit the L.A. River Keepers. And if you're interested in donating vegan baked goods to this sale you can contact Monica Valencia.
Good thing I'm eating for two.
