Barb and I had an excellent meal at Feenie's (2563 West Broadway,  604 739-7115) tonight.

The room is quieter and cozier than that of Lumiere. Lots of nooks and crannies for sound to be absorbed in.

We had one of our finest meals of 2003 tonight at Diva at the Met. Diva's food in 2003 is just as fabulous as Diva's food in 2000 .  Nothing more needs to be said, really!

But of course we can't leave it at that.

A Critic's Coda is a fascinating interview with William Grimes who will step down on December 31st as New York Times food critic.  I love the following quote where he talks about eating four star meals day in and day out:

Greg Baker, webmaster of Bad Girl Chocolates, emailed us that he followed our suggestion and added a Bad Girl Chocolates blog with an RSS feed that you can subscribe to! Of course we subscribed and we recommend that you do too!

Alvin of Asian Online Recipes followed our suggestion and added an RSS file (here is the Asian Online Recipes RSS file)! Very cool!

The consumer's guide to sustainable seafood is excellent and an eye opener ! I especially like the page on what to avoid eating, what to be cautious about eating and what to avoid (avoid orange roughy, monkfish, lingcod, Chilean sea bass etc.).   Check it out!

Looking for free internet access with your coffee downtown?

My apologies to the cool folks at Savoury City.  In my haste, my previous post on Savoury City had some typos and the links to the pictures were wrong.  I have fixed it and all should be well.  Check out the updated Savoury City post.

Like Sinampalukang Manok (Chicken in Tamarind Soup).  I love tamarind stew.  Such great winter food.  Check it out!

Barb brought the latest menu from Savoury City home the other day and I realized to my horror that I hadn't blogged about the samples that Savoury City graciously provided us back in July when we first heard about Savoury City.
