Convocation

So I lied. This is a food blog. Honestly, though, food is my currency: breakfast, lunch, snacks, supper, snacks snack snacks. I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about it, preparing it, reading about it, shopping for it , cleaning up after it....

These are the crackers that I wrote about last time. They turned out well and were very good. Probably won't make them again, unless I cross over the bridge and become a completely self-sufficient local eater.

On Theresa's advice I started buying as much local/organic as I can. I was doing veggies and yogurt before. But considering most toxins are fat soluable, shouldn't organic butter and cheese be a point of order? Unfortunately, organic meat is harder to come buy at Zehrs, so Im currently treading water with wild fish and tofu (Hey, Yianni, what did you think of that organic beef last night?)

Today I processed in convocation, sat right behind our Madame Chancellor Pamela Wallin. I enjoy pomp and ceremony, so I was well positioned. Yianni's talk was good - he was very earnest - something that doesn't come across when he talks science. And he only mentioned fungi twice.


Still haven't decided on a theme for this. Thinking Molecular Gastronomy? (PS Theresa, the sun rises and sets on that book you gave me...what'll I do when I run out of stories?)

And Henry, Shirley is the larger-than-life neighbour who used to live in my house and somehow, over the period of about 2 years, acquired my dogs.
