Did you know that there’s a wondrous little shop in Cambridge (and another in Beacon Hill) where you can get antelope, elk, llama, and a wide variety of other exotic meats and poultry? You’ve probably already heard of Savenor’s Market (“The Best on the Block”) because it’s been satisfying Boston and Cambridge’s tastes for exotic meat since 1939, but this weekend was my first Savenor’s experience

I apologize ahead of time for the complete lack of photos accompanying this post – a total shame, because rainbow carrots and tsoi tsim are both extremely photogenic! Last night was hectic, checking and re-checking out an apartment while coordinating with the parents, the future roommate, and the realtor.

Mom and I had been to the Whistler Village (in the resort municipality of Whistler, BC ), a long time ago, actually I think the last time was when she and my Auntie came to my MBA graduation. We hadn’t been to Whistler together in so many years (and in particular, almost never during the summer) that we decided we needed to roam the streets of Whistler Village. We took lots of photos (and I also realized that during the summer the mountains are used for mountain biking – something about Whistler I didn’t know!)

Hair is a great musical with a talented cast of 24 current and graduated students from theatrical training institutes from across the province including Studio 58, Capilano University, Canadian College of Performing Arts and Vancouver Film School and on-stage rock band.

I had been to the Southside Diner before for dinner with Jeremy Latham and Karen Hamilton last year, when we went up to Whistler for WordCamp Whistler 2009 (the first-ever WordCamp in Whistler). I had very fond memories and when I decided to go on a writing retreat to Whistler , I decided I needed to show my Mom this cute diner

Last year, I attended Road to Canterbury, put together by the same folks who bring to you this time Robin Hood, with a Vancouver-flavor and twist.

I just made this soup for dinner. While it can be served either hot or cold, it tastes particularly good cold during the summer months. It also goes nicely with a chunk of toasted sourdough bread….

Ooh la la, vive la France, c’est la vie – plus any other linguistic cliché you care to cull from the French dictionary – it’s Bastille Day across the Channel! While Parisians line the Champs-Elysées to watch the traditional 14 Juillet parade , we prefer to celebrate by reminding you of some of our favourite things about the French capital (not including our new France guidebook , and political ardour notwithstanding). In no particular order, our pick of Some of the Best Things in Paris * • Innovation – the French flair for the unusual and quirky is perfectly portrayed by the offbeat decor at Hotel Particulier Montmartre (right). Other good places to investigate Parisian quirk and ensure the revolutionary spirit is alive and well include the Pompidou Centre (check out the shop for modern homewares), L’Institut du Monde Arabe (for incroyable architecture), the Marais (for its independent boutiques and bars), and cult style-store Colette (for avant garde up-and-coming consumer goods).

When I first moved to Vancouver I wondered what to do, and people who were doing their MBA coursework with me recommended Theatre Under the Stars . An institution in Vancouver, Theatre Under the Stars (TUTS) has been the source of amazing entertainment and great theatrical performances. This summer, the TUTS season goes from July 9th to August 21st

‘You are now In London, that great sea, whose ebb and flow At once is deaf and loud, and on the shore Vomits its wrecks, and still howls on for more. Yet in its depth what treasures!’ (Percy Bysshe Shelley, letter to Maria Gisborne, 1820) It’s easy to fall out of love with London life – the city’s din and dirt can get to even the most nonchalant native – but with a little urban rummaging, it’s equally easy to fall right back in love again.

One of the many great things about the Ledbury (yes I know I’m slightly obsessed with the place and do keep going on about it but bear with me) is that despite the fancy-pants multiple-Michelin-starred food and gleaming service you never feel like you’re trespassing in a hallowed temple of gastronomy; eating in the buzzy, spacious room and dealing with the affable staff is easy and comfortable, and the emphasis seems to be on having a good time rather than silently noting the chef’s plating skills.

Today there are many opportunities to eat outdoors, but for much of our history it was fairly uncommon. Partly explained by dust and dirt from unpaved roads, even in the 20th century when this had been overcome there were still few outdoor restaurants, particularly with the spread of air-conditioning after World War II. Though impossible to quantify, it’s possible that dining in open air was more in vogue in the late 18th century than in 1960.
