Nibbles 'n' Notes Around Town [March 10, 2012]

It’s Saturday morning and I’m drinking my tea, reading my twitter feed and catching up on email. There are many events going on in the city and quite a few that’s on my radar. Thought I’d share upcoming things and recent eats.

Diary of the Wok 'n' Roll Photoshoot

Both chefs and photographers gather for a themed photo shoot to highlight a “Wok and Roll” lunch for the upcoming Terroir Symposium (a one-day industry event). And ostensibly, I was there to cover their photo shoot.

New Year's Day Eats 2012

Run by fashion maven Nathalie-Roze, this was a good chance to have tea and find some locally crafted goods for holiday gifts. Though I was never sure if I was buying things for someone else or myself! Warning: many photos of tasty food and beautiful crafts (mostly crafts).
