Hot enough for ya? We start off the blog-a-log this week with a selection of timely posts.

At Jumbo Empanadas, Brilynn has tips on making cool refreshing sorbets even if you don't own an ice cream maker.

Dana McCauley gets out in the pizza garden, with a cool round garden plot divided into sections of all the stuff you'll need for pizza from tomatoes to oregano.

Kevin makes the most of rhubarb season with a rhubarb fool at Closet Cooking.

And while we don't generally include blogger memes or cooking events here, we loved the idea of a Canadian food event as suggested by Jasmine at Confessions of a Cardamom Addict.

Michael reports form the Archibald Winery fruit wine tasting event at On the Road with the Grape Guy. (I'm jealous - I really wanted to go to that!)

Fast food used to taste better - or so says Ferdzy of Seasonal Ontario Food.

Marusya wrestles with lobster on her birthday at Recipes For Trouble - hint - I always found nutcrackers to work like a charm.

And over at Save Your Fork, I've got news of the end of the PETA - KFC battle, in which PETA wins and KFC agrees to serve vegan soy "unchicken" in their restaurants.
