weekend wrap up & your help

oh, hello!  i hope you had a fun-filled weekend like it did.  here's some of the fun i got up to in the past few days.

i baked a bazillion vegan cupcakes for a 10-year anniversary and also for a wedding. 

{a fraction of the bazillion}

i attended some films screening at cinefest, and saw my good friends win an award for 'best in shorts' for their film the standoff.  the film was made by friends, staring friends and with the help of friends.  and it was all shot locally.  here's the trailer {look for the cameo our record shop makes!}

we went to a late-night party that's part of cinefest known as the 'pit party'.  we were bussed out to an outdoor party that literally takes place along an open mine.  lots of slag dancing ensued.

i enjoyed some yummy smoothies and wondered why i haven't always included a nub of fresh ginger in my morning drinks.  so good!

{lemon, ginger, parsley, banana & mango}

and also cooked up some yummy eats including this galette.  but more to come on that later....

now that you're all caught up on me, i need your help!  i'd really like to participate in vegan mofo this year but i'm at a loss for a theme.  you don't actually need a theme to participate, but it seems that everyone else has one so i want one too! 

SO i was thinking of going with one of the following options and i want you to help me decide!

{option 1} cupcakes or kale ~ for a blog called cupcakes and kale i don't have nearly enough recipes of those two things, so for the month, every post would be either cupcake related or kale related.

{option 2} finger foods ~ i love appies and hors d'oevres and i love eating with my hands so it'd be a month of all things that can be eaten without cutlery.  or chopsticks.

{option 3} ...well, if you have any ideas that you'd like to see from me, i'm open to that as well!!

the deadline to register for mofo is the 28th so it'd be great to hear from you soon!  so if you're reading this {yes you!} and haven't commented before, now's your chance - what would you like to see from me and cupcakes and kale???
