Canadian Foodies in 2008
Hello everyone!
Thanks for visiting. To any of my old regulars, thanks for checking back.
We’ve been a little quiet around here over the past 6 months or so… what can I say :)
I’ve been hibernating through the long Canadian Winter!
Actually we’ve been really busy with other ventures… a new baby in January (our second daughter!), a flood in February that destroyed our basement, and being generally busy trying to plan out the future of CanadianFoodies.

Thought of the day
Hello everyone!
I’ve been out of town a lot recently (with the day job) as well as launching a new blog (MichaelValiant.com - warning, not food related at all!) so I apologize for not being around here much.
Thanks for the comments (that took me forever to moderate)!
I will re-kick things off with a thought for the day:
I try not to eat any veggies that have travelled more than I have!

Happy Canada’s Day!
To everyone in Barrie, Ontario, Canada and Beyond…
Have a great day celebrating our wonderful country!
Here’s wishing all the foodies out there get a chance to fit in a good meal, and relax with a good bottle of wine…
Salut, Eh!

Canadian Foodies on Squidoo
Squid-wha?
Well, from the horses mouth:
“Squidoo is the world’s most popular site for people who want to build a page about their passions. ”
It’s also a great venue for us to reach out to a broader audience and share all the great things we have coming your way in the next couple of weeks, and months!
So checkout our Barrie Food Site on Squidoo sometime too!
I should mention that there isn’t much there so far :) but we’ll be putting more content up soon!
