Another day in the life coming to a close tonight. A blinding headache stops me from writing to you all a little more, but here are a few of my favourite stories from another rainy and dull day. Goodnight.
i - "Endurance cooking as performance art." The story of 48 hours of endless cooking. Vancouver style. I've done a few 18-19 hour shifts in the front of house, but couldn't imagine cooking for 48 hours. The best thing about Chef Todd, besides his unreal two-day run of three course tasting menus for 20 people every two hours, is the fact he runs an illegal restaurant out his apartment called '12b'. Unreal.
ii - It's halfway to Christmas right? Or maybe I can buy myself a few early birthday gifts. Top gadgets for the frugal traveler, or the broke junior reporter.
iii - You're a communist bully. No, you're a childish school girl. Ah, diplomatic rhetoric between the nuclear powers. Fun and games, right?
iv- Rats take Edinburgh; Toronto not the only place with rubbish woes this summer. Yes, despite the rain and mild temperatures, it is still 'summer' here.
v - complicated and brilliant. Rufus Wainwright, and a new opera.

Great.shot.D. Simple and classic.
Endurance cooking – amazing and insane, taking dining to a whole new level.
On an unrelated note: city branding – you probably already knew this, but the Calgary downtown core has a blog: http://getdown.ca/
Not sure if I find this hilarious or intriguing; a valiant and useful effort or simply bemusing. Verdict is still out on Calgary, the city. There are some corners of it that I really love. Get down. “ ‘D’ marks your spot.”
Also, thought of the day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Abt722ufGUI&feature=fvw. My favorite flavor, cherry red.
Happy Sunday.
