Have You Tried The Haskap Berry?

They say you learn something new everyday.  I truly believe this.  I am over 40 years old and have never heard of the Haskap Berry before... yet it's a native berry to Canada.  Growing up in Newfoundland we have our share of fruits and berries that grow naturally around the island. The Haskap berry has been described as a cross between a tangy raspberry and a blueberry.  Their shape is like an long blueberry.    I would really love the opportunity to try these berries. Could make some Haskap Berry Muffins, or maybe even a Haskap Berry Tart with whip cream on top!  OMG, that sounds awesome.  If you've had these berries before comment below and let me know what they're like and what you've made from them!  I'd love to hear more about these interesting berries.

Way To Go! Shout Out To Some Young Canadian Entrepreneurs!

I'm a huge supporter of entrepreneurs.  Especially young ones.  I have always been an entrepreneur at heart.  Even as a kid I used to sell lemonade and fresh trout to local tourists who visited the beach in our small town.  Ever since then I've been involved in various business adventures. These young entrepreneurs are hosting a pop up shop at the Covent Garden market on May 4th and 5th as part of a project at school.  It was an idea of their teacher, Rob Gillespie, who felt that this is a great way to introduce those students entrepreneurship.   They will be offering a variety of food / goods they've prepared at school.   Items like garden planters, water colour prints, balsamic dressings, various breads, truffle butter, artisanal dog biscuits, and more.   If you're in the downtown London, Ontario area this weekend, check out the Convent Market and be sure to buy...

The Nanaimo Stamp Debate - What's Your Take?

If you haven't seen it online yet, there's a big debate over the nanaimo bar depicted on the stamp... Some are really upset over the image, stating that it doesn't look anything like a Nanaimo bar, others are ok with the image.  Personally it doesn't look anything like the ones I grew up on, however neither does most "stock" images of food.  When was the last time the Big Mac you've had look like the commercial?   So, what are you thoughts?  Personally I don't like things like this bother me, so I'm ok with the design.  It's just not something that is a high priority for me.  :-)
