As the growing season almost draws to a close I would like to share with you one of the single best things that came out of my amateur garden this year: zucchini! Almost no maintenance, I pulled like 20 of these off of two plants over the span of a few months.

At the beginning of the season I think I just might have promised a detailed report on what type of veggies grew the best in our my garden/our local climate but that full report is going to have to wait a few years until I am far more learned on the subject of Lower Mainland horticulture.

But if all goes according to plan I will have one more garden post this season.

I got another e-mail from THE CORN LADY yesterday!

“Hi Bob,

Just wanted to let you know that tomorrow (Saturday) & Sunday will be the end of my corn selling season. I would like to thank the wonderful ‘Main Street’ people for their support – it has indeed been a pleasure to serve them.

Cheers & thank you!
Jennifer”

Get out there and get yourself some last chance corn!

Who tends to notice when an establishment has a stylin washroom? A while back I posted on the Zakkushi on Main & King Ed and got pics of the eats but forgot to get one of the can. This weekend, I checked out the ZAKKUSHI on 4th (off Burrard) and forgot to take pics of the food but did manage to get one of the restroom. Yeah, Id say the King Ed one tops this one but its still worth a view, eh? Watch out, there could be Can Wars coming on?

Lyndsay from Coco Cake sent over this LINK to a tutorial she made on how you can make your own sweet pizza cake!

If you’re like me you’ll look at the tutorial, smile, shrug, then pick up the phone and call Lyndsay so she can make one for you. Support the local cakemakers!

My wife, the lovely Qbit, told you about the new Big City Cupcakes store earlier this week. Today I’m reminding you that you should pop by the Blim market tomorrow and pick up some of those delicious Coco Cake Cupcakes.

I was going to end this by saying “the family that cupcakes together, stays together” but that sounds kinda gross so just forget about it… but don’t forget about the Blim market tomorrow at the Cambrian Hall, which has cupcakes and so much more.

On Sun, Sept 20th, Blim is having their monthly market at the Welsh Hall on East 17th and Main, from 11am to 5pm.

Come on down to see Vancouver’s best… and get some of those out of this world crazy good cupcakes!
