fri five fave food finds

Isn't the world just incredibly serendipitous? Sure, sometimes it's not, but when it is; it's lovely. 1. Today, I find that ZestyCook has added me to his Friday five, and honestly, I think he just beat me to it. There's lots of yummy things to eat, but you'll be missing out if you don't find this. 2. Speaking of coincidences, from ZestyCook, I found Kath Eats Real Food, and it's almost a little too funny. "Real Food"? Sound familiar? I swear she's like my blogging twin! She even has recipes for items I haven't posted yet; she has a pumpkin cake, and so do I. Anyone hear the music from Twilight Zone? 3. And now it's time for a terrible joke: I am feeling cheesy. Seriously, there is a cheese here for every day of the year. It better be cheesy! 4. The fourth fave of the week is a dessert that originates from France in the Middle Ages, called blanc-manger. Fxcuisine prepared this jelly-like dish using almonds, sugar, and cream; a dessert can't be much lovelier than this. It cannot be made in five minutes, but the beautifully authentic history of the blanc-manger and the simplicity of the ingredients call my name. 5. Also for Calgary folk, Janice Beaton's new eating experience, FARM, is open. I don't know, but I'm semi-disillusioned with eating out lately, so I'll give it a shot, but it's starting to feel like a string of bad dates...
