Intrigued by pomegranates but unsure of what to do with them or you can't bother to use them? Then check out this site. The site has an easy, no mess method to deal with pomegranates and some interesting recipes.

Don Genova, a great Vancouver food writer, has a blog!  And it has an RSS file which I've subscribed to so I will never miss an update!

zabihah. com's Vancouver Halal Restaurant guide is great! Basically it's a halal version of  addyourown Vancouver.  And zabihah has halal guides to other cities too like San Francisco and Seattle.  Check it out!

This is a funny article!

We're cooking up a special project that will be ready for release in early April.  No, it's not a cookbook or a site overhaul or a new site...we're having a baby!

While we're keeping up with VanEats and most of our other activities, we're busy nurturing and planning for our new VanEats contributor.  Luckily the pregnancy has been comfortable and I've been able to eat normally (thank goodness!).
