I made up a recipe for Whole Wheat Coconut Waffles. It’s a modification of the Buttermilk Waffles recipe I use with my vertical waffle maker. #FoodWiki #waffles #baking #coconut

Cocktail orange for breakfast. Also known as a mandelo, for “Mandarin + Pomelo”. All citrus are actually hybrids of mandarin, pomelo, and citron (chart via Wikipedia). I collected some links on the FoodWiki and learned about the UC Citrus Experiment Station. #FoodWiki #citrus

Some fun packaging at the Sungiven Foods at City Square. Sungiven is pretty great, with stores all over Metro Vancouver. Photos are of Soda crackers (sea salt) aka shark edition, and (chive) aka caveman and dinosaur buddy. I didn’t buy candied olives, but I did buy candied plums. #FoodWiki #Vancouver #g... blog.bmannconsulting.com https://blog.bmannconsulting.com/2024/01/07/some-fun-packaging.html

I’m wandering around #Vancouver today. If anyone is around in the next couple of hours, I’m going to go for lunch at Nine Dumplings. I’ve been told it’s now in the City Square Centre food court. I guess I’ll tag this a #FediMeetup

Learning that Apple Maps has guides (collections of places) and ability to contribute photos to places (I don’t really ever use it). Organic Maps has bookmarks which can be organized into lists. Here’s Bloedel Conservatory, a classic #Vancouver destination for me when it rains for weeks.

I made lasagna yesterday. Like most of my cooking, I just sort of winged it. I did buy some ingredients earlier in the week, including Italpasta Oven Ready Lasagna Noodles. Here’s the package recipe, also on FoodWiki along with notes on my own recipe.
