Anyone know where I can find root beer extract for making homemade root beer? I've heard Zatarain's is a good one. Thanks!
How about galloway's in richmond

I have recently found out that amazon.com has increased their fees on shipping items to Canada. This obviously closes the gap on the costs of books between amazon.com and amazon.ca, but I personally find it discriminatory against Canadian customers.
It has been a well-known fact that in the last couple of years, prior to this shipping rate increase, and even prior to the dollars being at par, it cost appreciably less to buy books through amazon.com than amazon.ca. Of all the options available to Amazon in saving their Canadian business, I personally think they have chosen the worst. For sure, they have successfully deterred me from purchasing from their US site, but I'm not going to their Canadian site as a result. I'll just take my business elsewhere.
I'd very much like to hear what other Canadians think about this.

I am going in early spring to view cheese shops. Anything new since the last post in march 2008?

we have them at les amis today.

The enviro theme continues as Les Amis is planning to do away with all plastic in the new year, I hear.
but what will I carry my olives home in then? Guess it will be my mouth?
The plan is to eliminate plastic shopping bags. We haven't found an ideal alternative. Ideally, we'd like something made locally. If anyone has any suggestions, please PM me.

I am happy to inform you we are selling stollen this year at Four Seasons.
Simply contact our room service and place an order.
Hope to see you in soon,
Aaron.
Picked up two. thanks

I had no idea that there was candied rutabaga in the fruit mix. It's almost bizarre...
what fruit did you think those brightly colored lime green and florescent red chunks of stuff came from? the rutebega is like a filler, to keep the overall cost down. I think there is some fruit in there, but i don't know what ratio.
Didn't there used to be a Dan-D-Pak store in Marpole? bet they have lots of interesting dried fruits.
-
went by sutton place today, but they didn't have any. You have to order them.
-
I've heard that Sutton Place sell them in their bakery. I'll have to try one this week.
-
stay away from candied fruit mix. It qutie often has a high ratio of rutabega that is colored.

$449 at cookworks webiste.

It is that time of year again. Anyone with stollen reports?
Last year I bought the Four Seasons version which was excellent - are they offering stollen again this year?
My favorite stollen last year was the 4 seasons. I just called, and the person answering the phone said they are not selling them this year!
Thanks for checking that out, even though the answer is disappointing. Any chance of Les Amis getting into the baking business?
We used to do alot of baking for work when we were on 10th Ave, but not much anymore, except for ourselves. We've got lots of good recipes in our back pocket, so perhaps one day in the new store on Hastings...but that's a ways off. Allison suggested she might make some Stollen for the family.

Here's a Daily Gullet piece about Tourtiere I wrote last year.
You can be very sure I'll make it this year. I've, literally, eaten it every Christmas Eve since I could gum food.
What's your meat mixture?
Strictly pork.
-
It wouldn't be Xmas eve dinner for us without having Tourtiere and a special bottle of wine. This year we'll have it with some Oka as always, maybe some Mont d'Or, antipasto and perhpas we'll try some Duchy tomato chutney on the side.
We make our own tourtiere. Do others make their own, or do you buy it locally?
-
Joe, I think that doesn't exist any more... VCC shut down their meat cutting program in 2002. The only meat cutting program still running in BC is at Thompson Rivers in Kamloops.
Re leaf lard, I'd ask Dave at Windsor Meats.
I guess it's obious that I haven't been there for a while...
-
No leaf lard at Oyama, neither Armando's. Armando's told me I'd likely have to go to a slaughter house.
As for the Mr. Bento lunch jars (as in my previous post), has anyone by any chance seen these in stores anywhere? I'm quite sure there's a store in Richmond that carries them, but I just wouldn't know where to begin to search.
Thanks!
Try VCC butcher department

Someone recently brought some to my house to make drinks. They bought the puree or juice at one of the italian stores.

What about Antons Pasta Bar in Burnaby?

Duffin's Donuts on Main Street is closing at the end of November.
Rest in Peace.
