Friday Random Thoughts
While browsing the vegan/vegetarian cookbook (read: food porn) section in Chapters last night, between buses, I found this little gem:
I had to snap a pic so I wouldn't forget any details. Skimming through it was pretty inspiring. The recipes come from Blue Heron Creamery in Vancouver, which I'd never heard of but will have to check out sometime.
The Sidney Street Market gave me the chance to sample some gin and vermouth from de Vine Vineyards, and I ended up leaving with a bottle of each. I could only find the Genever gin on the website, though they do make mention of their Moderna Vermouth in the Cocktail Ideas section. I'll prob crack it when I finish either the Luksusowa vodka or Tanqueray Rangpur gin that are both currently hiding in the freezer. Expect a full report :)
edit: Got a decent picture in the daylight:
In completely different news -- I've been reading a bit, again, about raccoon dogs and the "faux fur" industry. It looks like the fur industry has been busy astroturfing on the topic. This might make up a future post that's a bit orthogonal to the whole food thing, but I might need to vent after doing some more digging into this... =/
Oh, and today's soundtrack for blogging includes Joey Fehrenbach's album Mellowdrama.
