The New Kingston Market

I've told you before that I used to sell organic vegetables at the Saint John City Market when I was a little girl. These were our partners - the other family we ran the stall with and part of the village that raised me.

Not Your Day

Toronto - day off For all those folks who feel like this is the perfect message to the world

I needed a quick photo of dad to illustrate a point to one of my hohoto co-schemers. I figured this one where he is wearing a www.rightsleeve.com hoHOTo cap would be perfect

Happy New Year!

Into The Lightbox

I won a catered dinner for 4 by Chef Matt Kantor designed specifically for my tastes through a contest on www.littlekitchen.ca . See photos of the full 7 courses here

Third course - Pan-seared Scallop on a Romanesco Cauliflower puree with Curry Oil and diced Hidden Rose Apple.
- this qualifies as a perfect dish. Perfectly cooked scallop, perfect texture combinations, perfect development and balancing of flavours. For my palate at least - perfect!
And pretty to boot!

Dim Sum at Lai Wah Heen

After months and months of threatening to have lunch together, Dave Fleet & I were finally able to make it happen.

Cardamom Shortbreads

Tomorrow I am participating in www.foodiemeet.ca's fundraising Bake Off for The Stop.
27 bakers - amateur & professional are coming together to share our treats all in the "Escape From Toronto" theme.
I'm intimidated by the baking the other folks are bringing to the table.
I'm bringing a selection of shortbread using my grandmother's secret recipe but kicking it up with a selection of spice-infused sugars.
I'm calling them the Spice Route Shortbreads.
I'll also be bringing a gingerbread (assuming I can whip it up tomorrow morning.)

Lex's Transit Story

I just found out that a selection of my photos will be appearing on the screens at subway stations across Toronto all day Saturday as part of Transit Stories!!!

One Stop Media in conjunction with CONTACT are featuring a series called Transit Stories showcasing photos of the TTC at every subway platform in Toronto from April 30th to June 3rd. Screening every ten minutes, so riders can always catch one as they wait for the next train.

I'm in good company, check out some of other photographers who have already show - Rannie, Jaspn, Mondo, Tanja & Jayme.

Wasted - this blog is going away

I have just realized I can include my flickr photos in my RSS feed for unsweetened.ca - so this makes unsweetened_365 redundant... and, well, kinda more effort than it's worth to maintain.

So, kind readers, please redirect your RSS readers to: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Unsweetenedca and you will get unsweetened.ca posts, a selection of the photos I load daily to lexnger flickr photos and deli.cio.us links I bookmark.

If you really don't want me to do this - speak up now.
