Apparently, there is a better chai latte than Starbucks. It exists at Edible Canada in Granville Island. And if you're eating a duck poutine right now, drop it. You do not settle for anything less than the best. So ditch the rubbish that's in front of you. The best is at Edible Canada. Get there.

A meal out means a meal in. Dinner tonight was from a fresh bag of Happy Planet Lousiana red pepper corn chowder. I "made it my own" with quinoa, spinach, alfalfa sprouts and a Shannon staple, weiners.

Beet juice to wash it all down. It was juiced with celery, cucumber, spinach, alfalfa sprouts, ginger, lemon, carrots and apples. I still dislike beets.
