VanEats

i-dabble is a food blog by a freshly minted PhD that features lots of tasty bits about Community Supported Agriculture as well as normal foodie related stuff like a recipe for a deliciously simple sandwich with real locally grown tomatoes.

Thanks for the link to VanEats!

I am a big fan of the legendary Czech beer, Pilsner Urquell. In my opinion it puts other pilsners to shame.

So when I read in the Georgia Straight two weeks ago about Czechvar, the original Budweiser, being available at the LDB for $2.75 a bottle, I had to try it.

After we finished our French Laundry reservation saga, Ryan wrote in and gave us his Napa and San Francisco picks. Thanks, Ryan we 'll check them out!

If you are in Victoria next weekend, checkout the Organic World Exhibition at St. Ann's Academy to see a FREE showcase of the finest in organic wares from around the world.

For many home gardeners, it's plum season and there's an overabundance of plums. Our friends Rebecca and John gave us some beautiful plums that are red and shaped like prune plums but are much larger. We ate a few as they were and baked the rest into this delicious plum streusel cake. Try it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Sauté Wednesday is an excellent food blog written by Bruce Cole. Read it!

I found out about this blog from Meg Hourihan's excellent Blogging for Dollars: Giving Rise to the Professional Blogger where she writes:

I love cooking and I really enjoy Bruce Cole's Sauté Wednesday Weblog. Imagine if Mr. Cole were able to write the blog full-time? What if FoodTV or Food & Wine were to pay him to do it?

Last year we got some excellent kitchen knives for wedding gifts and recently they were starting to get dull. I brought them to Quality Saw and Knife for sharpening and the knives passed the tomato test!
