can we eat yet?
first it was meat, then mushrooms, and NOW cheese!
"Ontario cheese added to Listeria recall list"
The list of foods feared to be tainted with the Listeria bacterium has grown to include cheese produced at Ontario's Ivanhoe Cheese Inc.
this is like that mad cow thing all over again where no one would eat canadian beef... but this time it's like ALL canadian food. didn't we just get over that e.coli thing with the spinach?

"Nuke-test veterans to get $24,000"

thoughts...

last friday, my mom got so excited at the prospect of cupcake pops that she made a cake right there and then! it was SO urgent that we make these tiny confections that i was instructed to pick up additional supplies on the way home.
aside from some minor logistics problems, they turned out pretty good for a test run. there will definitely have to be some 'tweaking' when (that's 'when' not 'if') we make them again.
