unpickled puppies

Explanation of photo above: When Urban Tapestry was invited out to the UK as guests at Didgeri-Douze about five years ago, I was presented with a bottle of "pickled puppies" in honour of my song, "Puppies Cooked In Brine" (my very first filk song, and included on our Myths and Urban Legends CD). I kept the bottle for ages, but recently decided to release the poor puppies from their confinement and give them to my nieces. :-)

Special Guest: Mike Glyer

Featured Filkers: Urban Tapestry

Hope to see some of you there!

Recent interesting purchases at St. Lawrence Market:

- Maple tea. Yum.

- Canadian Ice Wine tea. The name sounds better than it tastes. 'Tis ok, but I was somewhat disappointed.

- Boschetto Tartufo cheese made with white truffles, from Tuscany. Very strong, distinctive flavour. I really like it right now, but I can also tell that if I have too much of it I would end up really hating it. :-)
