Love hearing the @caplansky story. Food was amazing. My fave breakfast dishes were the sm @ Caplansky’s Deli http://instagr.am/p/RDBaZyExoV/Merry120
The smoked meat @Caplansky is a two-week handcrafted process. And worth it! Especially mixed with eggs after a party night. #blissdomcaEmma Waverman
And we are off on our walkabout. #blissdomca #foodies http://instagr.am/p/RDFImYEtQn/Krista House
After we had a filling and flavourful breakfast, complete with stories from Zane, we headed down into the market for a tour. It was fun hearing everyone’s family stories and watching the market open up around us as we wandered and talked.

RT @katsima: The yummy soups the teams made today with the #cuisinartca Soup & Beverage maker. Impressive, no? #blissdomc http://instagr.am/p/RDwvpFsu7j/Emma Waverman
Just got schooled by @lucywaverman may have to go home and tweak the layout of @chefbangerter post… I put too many photos in the recipeAlexa Clark
@alexaclark @lucywaverman @chefbangerter no such thing as too many pics for me! Not for a blog. For a mag, maybe…Craig Pinhey
.@frogspadca the issue @lucywaverman raised was too many photos embedded in the recipe copy makes the recipe hard to read & follow.Alexa Clark
