Fried Green Tomatoes

Parmesan in the Bank
BBC Reports that cheese makers in Italy are working with banks to secure their loans with collateral in the form of bricks of cheese. It makes me wish I had some cheese in the bank.

1932 banana-ice cream injector patent
There are too many jokes that could be made about this and none of them subtle, so instead I will present this plainly.

Tomato Fresh Food Café
The Tomato Fresh Food Cafe is a Cambie street classic that relocated to Kitsilano. It has a very clean interior and opens out onto a nice patio that has quickly become my brunch go-to.
