the week that was and is - july 1st, 2009

Happy Canada Day Everyone! From a great Friday evening with fellow bloggers to a weekend jam packed with wedding obligations, it's been busier than usual this past week. Hopefully if the week stays busy, it will be because I hear something back from the umpteen resumes I sent out...

• Don't forget about the new T & T Supermarket opening up tomorrow. Anyone going down?

• Sharon wrote a great article for Connect2Edmonton about some non-mainstream dining options.

• As well, Sharon made mention that the Taste of (overpriced) Edmonton menu is up.

• And while I'm on menu's, the Kalyna Country site has the menu for the upcoming Dine Kalyna festival. Any local's going out?
  

• Ever wondered if say your peanut butter, pecans, or deli meat is still good to snack away on? Check out still tasty, a fun resource with a surprisingly large database.

• New packaging for everyone's favorite white bread.

• Really...2 inches of toppings. Talk about the kitchen sink approach to pizza making.

• My brother introduced me to delicious mochi a few years back, but don't know if I would slap it in a waffle maker. Moffles anyone?

• No Reservations is back July 13th, and Tony will be starting the season out in Chile.

• It bothers me that I can download the new season of "Next Food Network Star" online, as they are already down to the final 6 in the States. Damn Canadian FN, I'm going to be well aware of the winner before you tell us.
  

• I decided to share a round of cinnamon buns from the BBAC yesterday with my musical radio station of choice, Sonic 102.9.
  

• Throwing some cinnamon, dried cranberries, and raisins into my usual slow rise bread has created a new addition to the weekly breads. *sorry the flash is so intense!*

Now go celebrate Canada and all it's glory! Fireworks!!!!
