VEGAN Cupcakes on Wednesday?

I’ve always dreamed of the day where I could walk into any random “gourmet” cafe and have vegan options for myself.  Well yesterday I was caught by a most pleasant surprise.  After a dental appointment, I went to meet my Dad at the post office nearby.  But he had called to say they weren’t open till 9 and to meet him across the street instead, at Honey cafe.  So I walk in and my Dad is standing there drinking coffee while I scan the menu, expecting to see the usual.  Instead I’m shocked to see the cute display of gorgeous vegan cupcakes with proud signs in front of them.  Delectable and mouthwatering, I could have gobbled one up right away, but of course resisted.  I started speaking to the gal behind the register and was told that there are several options for vegans on the dine-in menu as well.  Every Wednesday is Vegan Cupcake Day, but everyday they have vegan meal choices available!  Finally!  Little by little, it seems like the V-word is seeping through the mainstream cracks and becoming graciously accepted instead of criticized…

I walked out beaming from ear to ear…hmmm, maybe that’s a new restaurant adventure for Rob and I…

The world can be frustrating sometimes.  Steak houses here, turkey farms there…but the small things in life are what really count…even the small blessings of vegan cupcakes!
