Sweets and a Garden

The Date: Tuesday, December 7

The Delivery: Candy from JJ's Sweets, and an UrBin Grower urban gardening kit from Nature's Footprint Inc

Staff Pick: JJ's Sweets hard candies and caramel

The DL: Some days, such as today, we have exciting shipments that include everything from an urban garden to vegan coconut milk caramel. While we can't wait to set up the garden on our new offices' patio, JJ's Sweets had us at caramel. We kind of have a thing for caramel, as evidenced in our current November+December Veggie Awards issue, which boasts a drool-worthy caramel feature including both sweet and savory recipes of the caramelized sugar kind. If only we could grow caramel in our UrBin Grower; all would be right in the world!

Screaming for Ice Cream

Date: Thursday, January 28
The Delivery: Raw ice cream, Amano Chocolate, and a compost bin from Nature's Footprint
Staff Pick: The White Cacao Wow! ice cream from Bishop's

The DL: These unique flavors of "i scream" look delicious, especially this white cacao flavor, which has a Brazil-nut base. We're about to bust out the spoons and dig in!

If you're in the SF Bay Area this evening, come out to SF Vegan Drinks at 6 pm. It will be a great time!
