A day of sanctuary and celebration from Adam!

Thanks so much to Adam Kurtz, for sponsoring this day of sanctuary and celebration for the chimpanzees!

“Party for the chimps! Hope you can give the chimps a chimp friendly pizza-like party on December 22.”

Thanks so much for giving the chimpanzees a special day, Adam! We could definitely see them enjoying veggie pizzas. 🙂 Sponsoring a day of sanctuary directly contributes to our ability to provide the chimpanzees with so many wonderful and exciting foods to eat and all the things that make up their days, moments, and lives in their sanctuary home. We are so very grateful for your support!

It’s kinda “Hawaiian roll season” this time of year and though bread and pasta are very rare and special treats in their diet, we can’t tell you how mad for them the chimpanzees are. Thankfully, they are just as excited about fresh produce, haha! But, I mean, bread, carbs…need we say more? Us too, chimpanzees, us too. 🙂

    Thank you, Adam! Wonderful and super-funny pictures! (My personal favourite is of Honey B, who looks as if she’s been caught red handed in the pantry!)

    Thank you, Adam! I’ve often wondered the same! Some oat/flax pitas as a base, tomato sauce and caramelized veggies…the only big sin would be a bit of vegan cheese…

    Neggie isn’t just in bed with Hawaiian roll….that’s a WHOLE Hawaiian roll (not just a slice) . That’s the jackpot, Neggie!

    Thanks, Adam. After looking at all the delicious carbs and veggies, now i simply must have lunch. I think I’ll enjoy my Hawaiian roll Negra style in bed under a colorful blanket on a chilly Northwest day.

    Thanks, Adam, for sponsoring today! Love your idea of a friendly pizza party. Missy would order a tomato pie. 😉

    That photo of Negra, her beloved Hawaiian rolls in bed with her, seriously?! It’s too heavily.

    Many thanks, Adam, and like that song “It’s my Party”, but in this case it’s “we will have a damn good time if we want to”. Judging from the photos the chimps- and everyone else- had a ball. Marvellous and thanks and appreciation for all the hard work in getting this show on the road.

    I just have to share my sister’s “OMG that’s delicious!” Hawaiian Roll recipe

    pulled pork in bbq sauce, coleslaw, and pepperjack cheese.
    (yes, you put the coleslaw in the sandwich. And yes it’s coleslaw, not just shredded cabbage.)
    Enjoy!

    Thank you Adam!!

    Now evertime I eat those hawaiian dinner rolls, I will be thinking of you guys! Jamie and her mini peppers, PRICELESS!
