Today was a lovely day in that I got to give Sandy the cake I baked for her last night. I was surprised not only by her reaction to the taste but that of the other 9 pieces sold to customers. They loved it.
In case you forgot, it is a chocolate cake with a chocolate icing, and a chocolate mousse in the middle.
Today I was at the bakery a little late, a bit after 6, and I stayed until 8:30 tonight with Sandy and then we closed the doors and came home. We had only one customer in the evening so there is no point to sitting there just to sit there. We also had no customers at our tables outside today at all. It is life and we will continue to work hard to change this.
I made normal breads today and I made a centeno (100%) which I think turned out lovely. I do not know how it tasted, but it looked beautiful.
I also made donuts, two batches of croissants, ensaimadas, and empanadas. The donuts were not complete until the early evening so I am not too upset we did not sell any. My hope is that everything goes tomorrow since we will not be back until Tuesday morning.

What is almost funny to me is yet again, a problem in the vegan community. There was a community fair in Inca today, and a vegan group formed a small part of it (as I am told) but we were not invited to participate. The only vegan business in Inca and we were excluded. So, I vented my frustration and I got a lot of backlash from some of the members of the organization calling me a liar that I was invited and declined the offer. To be clear once again and for the final time. Sandra nor I was ever asked to participate. I am not so sure I would have even if I were, but, having been included would have made a world of difference. Many customers asked me if I was participating and more asked me how come we were not participating. But, what is interesting to me is how this pack of people stick together with their story and just continue to call me a liar. I asked for proof, any kind of proof and of course I am ignored.
I say it clearly, the biggest weakness the vegan movement has as a whole on the entire planet, is not converting others to veganism, but not knowing how to work together with other vegans to promote a positive way to get more people interested in the idea. I see so many times how vegans attack other vegans like they are horrible human beings and it leaves me baffled beyond comprehension. When I made a post about Anthony Bourdain I could not believe the so many nasty comments I got, from vegans. I even had a couple tell me I should kill myself like he did. There were thousands of comments in replies and very few vegans were positive, most wanted blood. The very same thing they fight for protection of from all other species. IT MUST STOP. We must learn to be kind to all living beings and less judgmental about those we know nothing about. In fact, the only person we have a license to make any judgment about is ourselves, and no one else.

I am looking forward to taking Sandy to Barcelona tomorrow. She keeps asking me what we are doing and I keep avoiding her by making jokes. She was lovely in the bakery today and I was so happy to help her as much as I could to make her day pleasant. She is smiling, and we had a nice day, and THAT, my lovely friends and readers, is all that matters.
I love you for taking the time to read my posts, and I mean that sincerely. Thank you ❤️
