On 2nd Avenue near Burrard, you can find a mini gallic oasis, with Les Amis du Fromage, Fabrics de France, and Pâtisserie Lebeau. Yes, the waffles at Pâtisserie Lebeau are Belgian and not French, but you get the point.
As we cling to to the dying warmth of the season, we try to stave off the inevitable by turning to a quintessential summer drink, the daiquiri. Alas, we have been corrupted by popular culture. The true daiquiri is not a blended, frozen, fruity concoction, but a straightforward combination of rum, lime and sugar.
This vegan trans-fat-free margarine from Earth Balance has become a household staple for us. We just love the taste of it. We use it everywhere you might otherwise use butter or regular margarine. It's great on bread or toast, and we use it extensively in baking. We would go through the one-pound tubs pretty quickly, and just imagine how excited we were when we first saw the three-pound tub in the grocery store. Earth Balance even makes a more convenient and more expensive stick form.
