Here's what's cooking around town today...
Can you buy a Canadian with a cup of coffee? Tim's is rolling up the rim, while McD's is giving it away for free. What it means for everyone - lots more paper coffee cups all over the damn place. [Toronto Star] [Toronto Sun]
I'm digging this post not so much for the recipe but for the analogies of making due in tough times. We've got a lobster for spam story in our family history too, so the point about perspective is a good one. [Well Preserved]
This is a really great interview with raw milk farmer and advocate Michael Schmidt. [Eye]
Eating like an Olympian doesn't mean gazillions of calories - it does mean balanced meals and high-protein snacks. [National Post]
Remember when we all just had plain old salt in a shaker (maybe with some rice in it if you're old and remember when it clumped)? Now there's so many choices what when you find something you like, you never know if it will still be around the next time you need some. [Blog From Our Kitchen]
So, all that fuss about changing the shape of hot dogs so chyllldrun don't choke on them? Turns out some guy kind of already did it. Mind you, what he actually created is just a fancy-ass version of the Maritime poor folks' lunch staple - the fried bologna sandwich. [Toronto Star]
If you don't know where to start in the kitchen, a handful of simple recipes for basic comfort food can be a life-saver. [CBC: Food Bytes]
Snacks of fruit and vegetables in Ontario schools are beneficial to both schoolchildren and farmers. [Food and Farming Canada]
And in Food For Thought - gardening is "trendy", why is it that people like food television?, and crop mobs. [Save Your Fork]
