Food porn for Jules and Astin:
Evergreen.ca is a local initiative that is working to green Toronto, and is based at the Brickworks, a park that I like to go and hang out at. They're running a farmers market there during the summer, and I finally got my shit together and made it down there.
I spent a good hour or so wandering around in sensory bliss; the smell of herbs and ripe tomatoes, the taste of an artisan olive bread, the sound of kids laughter. I didn't know where to to look first - I ended up just sitting under a tree and people watching after grabbing a sandwich and coffee.
I also bought all this stuff:
- 2 pints of cherry tomatoes and basil for a roasted tomato pasta sauce (it was so good! Alas, I took no further food porn shots)
- some heritage tomatoes, double smoked bacon and multigrain for bacon and tomato sandwiches
- a chunk of honey-garlic smoked lake trout
- a salad with lemon-date dressing from the couple that sells home grown organic greens and sprouts
- two sweet potato and pecan tarts for dessert
And now I've made myself hungry again...time for a sandwich!

OMG that looks good.....
But I understand your evil plot - in order to make me lose the 30 lbs by December bet, as opposed to losing the 30 lbs themselves (have we actually decided on the terms of this prop bet???) you're tempting me with evil goodness from afar.
Pardon me, I must raid the fridge now.
It's been a few weeks since I've been there, glad they finally have some tomatoes. It's been all lettuce and herbs so far. I'm a bit confused though... how do you go there and NOT GET THE ELK?? Next time, go to the elk booth and ask for a sample.. buy a pepperoni stick.. and try not to buy a bunch of stuff from them. :)
