Should tipping be abolished?

Hmmmm. What do you think? I think this is a whole culture shift that won't fly in North America! I got along just fine without tipping in Germany (ok, well you round up a Euro or two or three or four or five but you certainly don't add 10-20%!) to the point where I had a hard time re-adjusting after 3.5 years there!

Fabulous Slow Food Vancouver Tomato Potluck tonight

Slow Food Vancouver Tomato Potluck 2005 - 2

Barb and I attended the Slow Food Vancouver Tomato potluck at Granville Island tonight. It was my first Slow Food potluck and it was fabulous just like Barb said it would be. It's worth joining just to join in and eat and bring food to one of these fab potlucks!

VanEats was the first foodblog in Vancouver and probably Western Canada

Just to set the record straight (an article in the Edmonton Journal - link broken due to Canada.com not caring about being an authority on the web - said that lex culinaria is the only food blog in Western Canada), VanEats was the first foodblog in Vancouver (it started in June 2000 unlike lex culinaria which started in 2004) and probably Western Canada. Being first doesn't really matter though.
