Downtown Eastside Community Garden
A new community garden is being built at Hastings and Hawkes, just at the end of the block from Au Petit Chavignol. I went by to have a look today, and man they work fast. The parking lot is being transformed into a sea of raised garden beds. I spoke with the organizer, and we determined that this could be a great fit for Au Petit Chavignol. We discussed the possibility of growing specific vegetables and herbs for us. How great is that!
This summer our Strathcona Fruit Project was a great success. We received hundreds of pounds of local fruit from our neighbouring community, and we've turned it all into preserves which we in turn use in the restaurant. I learned alot about making preserves this year. It was basically a crash course. Next year should be even better now that I know recipe limitations, yields, etc. I can't wait until next summer.

les amis shopping bags
This was spotted at sunny 3rd beach today. It's a gaggle of insulated les amis shopping bags. They are great for short outings, where you want to take great care of the cheese, and keep it cool. We are the friends of cheese afterall. Only five bucks each.

Worst cheese label. ever?
I dunno about this one...kind of a highlander with a Billy Ray Cyrus mullet, meets lord of the rings, meets badly photoshopped blue dyed sheep. Perhaps it might make a better T-shirt. For what it's worth, the cheese is fantastic.
