Shoeless Joe

The first time I experienced carbonated coffee was at Mercury Espresso Bar.  We were meeting some friends for fried chicken and donuts for lunch (because clearly that’s the right thing to do on a weekend) and we had decided to walk the four kilometers to get there (because that’s what you need to do when you eat fried chicken and donuts for lunch).

Roasted Tomato Tart

You have not experienced a tomato until you've sliced into one that you've just picked, still warm from the sun.  Unfortunately, we only had one ripe tomato, so we supplemented with others that we got in our weekly vegetable delivery.  I didn't think growing my own food would make such a difference, but the flavour of this tomato was so different than the others.  You could really tell.
