tasty things

When I was in Vancouver, I had a chance to try out many of their coffee shops - they have 3 chains that we don't have in Ed... Cafe Artigiano, Blenz, and Waves.  I was in LOVE with their drinks - mochas, iced chocolates, etc... something about their drinks tasted REALLY good... I didn't realize what it was until I peeked behind the counter and noticed that they use WHOLE milk in their drinks...   No wonder it tastes so good!  Here in Ed, by default, if you do not ask for skim/low fat, they use only 2% milk.  What a difference that makes...hahah!  Their drinks were creamier and held the flavour better... why are all tasty things fattening?! 

speaking of tasty things.. here's a sampling of food that I had on my trip... and yes, I definitely gained weight after all this food!
