My weekend seems to have been largely based around the topic of food. On Friday evening I met K for a
RawBC Tour Presentation at
Roots Natural Organic Health Food. Roughly forty people turned up for the talk which was pretty impressive and says a lot for how society is opening up to new eating habits as well as taking their health into their own hands for a change. The talk was informative and touched on many aspects of raw food, food quality and health. K and I didn't stick around to sample all the food items that were available but the Avocado Chocolate Pudding was delicious!

On Saturday morning K and I trekked out to the
Fraser Valley Food Show. Unfortunately I don't remember the tasting area being so sparse
last time. There wasn't a whole lot of dishes to choose from - especially for someone who chooses a vegetarian diet. Also, the 15 refined pasta penne noodles in tomato sauce costing me $3 or (6 tickets) kind of ticked me off as well. So much for lunch . . . What's maddening is that I feel that it would have been a great opportunity for new or smaller businesses to show off their cuisine to potential customers. Since I haven't been an exhibitor to a show such as this I'm not entirely sure of the cost or time that goes into one of these events. I do know as a consumer and an event-goer, that the vendors I do see and the people I interact with at these events influences me as to where I spend my money. Maybe my time is better spent at the local farmer's market these days . . .
I needed some rest so I stayed in for the evening and baked myself a chocolate cake (I've baked this one many times before.
Here and
here). Other than checking out
'Seeds of Deception', talking about food and health with a few friends and family and fighting off a Cheese Bread craving - that's about it. Hope you all had a delicious weekend!
