Below is a copy of The Gentle Barn's email plea for volunteers needed this Sunday:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Volunteer Sunday with Gentle Barn Animals

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have had an incredible response from The Ellen DeGeneres Show and expect to have a record number of visitors this Sunday, May 30th.

We need up to 40 volunteers to help ensure that everyone, animals and people, has a safe and delightful time this Sunday.

So, come join your Gentle Barn family and spend some quality time with the animals.

Thank you so much for your support, we can't wait to see you!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To sign up for volunteering this Sunday, please call the office at (661) 252-2440.

Respectfully,

Ellie, Jay, and The Gentle Barn Animals

The following is reprinted from the home page of The Gentle Barn website:

Our Mission: To rescue, rehabilitate and give sanctuary to abused animals. Through the interaction with our animals children learn reverence for all life.

The Gentle Barn Foundation is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 1999 as a safe haven and place of recovery for abused farm animals and children. We are home to over 120 rescued animals and we are host to at-risk, inner-city and special needs kids.

Our unique treatment philosophy rehabilitates animals and connects their stories of survival and healing to the personal experiences of at-risk and special needs children who have suffered physical, mental or emotional trauma.
Through the interaction with our animals, the children learn forgiveness, courage, strength, leadership skills, trust, empathy and kindness. The healing that takes place is truly miraculous!

Google's gone mad; not everything should taste like bacon!

May 24th 2010 01:32

Multi-grain chocolate chip raisin nut cookies - now made with bacon salt?!

Smack dab in my cookie recipe on my Friendly Vegetarian blog Google places the following ad:

graphic is advertisement from the Bacon Salt Company

Too funny! Not exactly the viewership the Bacon Salt company was targeting

What you won't find here at The Friendly Vegetarian :)

May 20th 2010 06:22

Someone claiming to be an expert - I do not know and would not want to know everything there is about Vegetarianism. I have other interests and while I am definitely proud of being a Vegetarian I sure hope there is more to me than the label! If I don't know something I won't pretend I do. However, if you want my personal opinion I'd be honored to share it with you.

Condemnation of non-vegetarians - Some of my favorite people in this world are not vegetarian. I don't love them any less. Now, would I want more people to be vegetarian? Yes, please... Aw, Cmon

No videos designed turn you Vegetarian - Anyone who is interested in viewing those videos can easily search, view, and cry for themselves. I don't want any part of it.

Pictures of me as a perfectly fit specimen due to my Vegetarianism - Ha! Double Ha! There are plenty of fat and carbohydrates in the Vegetarian pantry and I like to eat. Additionally, I don't get enough exercise and I know it! This blog probably won't help with that

Recipes for junk food with totally empty calories - There are enough of those recipes floating around and if I'm going to cook I'm going to try to make it better than what I can buy at my grocery store or local food joints. While I love to bake cookies and other treats I will try to make my recipes as healthy as possible without sacrificing taste. I incorporate Organic Food and whole grains whenever I can. I almost always substitute apple sauce for a good portion of the fat in baked goods. I tend toward less processed foods. The closer the food is to the way it grew from the ground, tree or vine the happier I am serving it to my family .
