Food Tourism, Bakery Edition

Bakery in Istanbul, 2001 - I taught ESL in Turkey for a while

Boulangerie in Paris, 2012 - My mom's celebrating her birthday in proper style

Patisserie in Nice, 2012 - my mom's photo again

It would be too cruel to take a picture of the donut I bought at Safeway the other day and label it "Saskatchewan 2012".

What's so appealing about seeds? Possibility.

There is no possibility that I will spend an evening with Ryan Gosling, but a girl can dream - about seeds.

I am looking forward to seed shopping from Tourne Sol, Heritage Harvest, and Prairie Garden Seeds. (Sure, I saved a bit of seed, but I'm getting that shopping bug that apparently other women feel when thinking about shoes.) Some of these companies will be at our local Seedy Saturday in early March. Is there a Seedy Saturday near you?

I've been hearing good things about Johnny's Selected Seeds. What are your favourite seed sources?

I remember opening up a peanut in grade two and being told that the tiny pineapple-shaped embryo embedded in the bottom was the future plant. I'm not going to belabour the "possibility" metaphor, but I think you gardeners can fill in the blanks.
