It’s summer and is it too obvious that cooking has been taking a back seat? In blogging years, this would have been MIA or a long sabbatical. If it were years ago, I’d be posting a “hiatus” message. [Bloggers from the days of yore: remember that?]
I’ve been seeing friends and keeping up with all the festivals the summer brings into this sun-deprived city of Vancouver. There’s the dragon boat festival last weekend. Believe it or not, carnival/fair food is one of my guilty pleasures. Roasted corn on the cob — gimme, gimme! Who can think of cooking when you can stuff your face with vendor food from these events? And in this multicultural city, there’s no shortage of delicious stuff to sink your teeth in — there’s Greek, Indian, Chinese, Thai, etc.
There’s also the Coastal Jazz Festival this time of the year and I went with a couple of good friends to see Kenny Colman last Monday night. It was a nice evening of music, wine and martinis. That’s how we roll.
Aside from that, I’ve been helping another good friend launch her Yoga Body products. Go check it out! We are going to be a vendor at the Camp Moomba Yogathon on July 12th. If you’re in town, drop by and say Hello. Try out the sprays and go buy some for your family, friends, and girlfriends. Even boyfriends!
What else…work, meetings…and all that jazz that comes with life. You know. ;-)
Cooking will commence soon, I promise. I have an alcoholic soup coming up and a classic Filipino cheesy bread treat called Ensaymada. Hang in there fellow hungry foodies!

i know what you mean!!! it’s sad because there are so many great fruits and veggies in season now, but it’s harder to motivate myself to cook them! i’m constantly at the farmer’s market still, but any pint of blueberries or cherries i buy always get eaten on the way home! :-)

Festival food is always good, I am guilty of enjoying it, too. Oh well, summer is very short and we don’t have many festivals over here, anyway. I can’t wait to see that alcoholic soup :-p

Katy — I hear ya! With summer fruits and veggies, I don’t want to mess with them too much. They’re so good just fresh and raw.
Ben — Haha. It’s so bad for our health, usually. But my excuse is that it’s not available the whole year through. :)
Manggy — Should I keep you waiting? LOL.
Ada — Ah, cool. I’ll email you. That’s soooo nice of them!!!!

No worries at all on the hiatus - I just got back from camping, and have a BUNCH of catching up to do. It’s a real grind, this blogging!
