New Link
See the links section on the right...check it, a Toronto-specific food blog site called TasteTO who do some interesting stuff. They talk about food and dining in Toronto - from restaurant reviews to features on shops, new products, farmer's markets and more. Am meeting Sheryl next week for a coffee at the Gladstone and may have more to report then.

Also check out the Gladstone's life drawing class on Wednesday's. Grab a glass of wine and sketch your heart out for 2 hrs. I had a great time on Wed and will definitely go back. The human body is an interesting but difficult thing to sketch, the hardest is the hands and face, which each time I made look like lobster claws and just an oval shape. Am sure it will get better with practice.
