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.

The Tyee is a brand new BC alternative publication that linked to VanEats on their blog page.  Thanks and looking forward to many years of reading The Tyee!

Excellent SFGate article about making potstickers and their emotional resonances, complete with beautiful step by step photos.

Barb and I went to the Russsian Christmas bazaar at the Russian Centre on 4th Avenue today.  Wonderful children's dancing, singing and performing as well as crafts and other stuff for sale.

But of course, we went for the food.  The Borscht is a steal at $3 a bowl including great broth, cabbage, beets, sour cream and a slice of bread; an excellent lunch for one.

Like last year, the Granville Island Cheese Fest (tomorrow Saturday 15 November 2003 and Sunday 16 November 2003) features local BC Cheeses.  In addition to great cheese, there's a draw for a raclette grill and  classical music.  More info: 604-666-6477, option 5. Check it out!
