The staff was friendly, attentive and genuine! They know that we'll be back soon!

Get Set For Canada Day

July 1st will be here before you know it! Here is Kitchener Waterloo there are lots of Canada Day Celebrations but here's another great way to get set for Canada Day!

Grab a copy of CANADA DOODLES by Megan Radford

Canada Doodles is fun activity book for all ages.  The activities include things like drawing sprinkles on Tim Hortons doughnuts to colouring CFL fans painted chests. There is even some "local-love" by designing the costumes the Stratford Shakespear Festival performers are wearing.  It also includes a lot of little known Canadian Heritage facts along with some of our favorite "Canadian-isms" This doodle book would be great to give as a gift for someone, and is a great size for shipping! Do you know a Canadian who is living outside of Canada? This book would certainly bring them great memories of home.

 

Show Us Your Doodles

We want to see your doodles! Print out the images below (click on the image to enlarge) and tweet us pics of your finished doodle sheets! Tweet them to @Those2Girls and the books author @MeganRadford and I'm sure the Canada Doodles publisher @RaincoastBooks would love to see them too!

Local Food Week In Kitchener Waterloo

Food At It's Freshest

This year marks the first Local Food Week in Ontario.  Being in Kitchener-Waterloo, the home of the BUY LOCAL BUY FRESH movement, buying local food is almost second nature here.  We are very fortunate to be in a part of Ontario where we can enjoy the luxuries of city life with the a multitude of local food choices.

 

Kicking Off Local Food Week

We began the week by launching our Food Revolution KW facebook page as a continuation of our Food Revolution event.

From Farm To Market To Table 

It was great to be at the Kitchener Market for a cooking class with Chef Terry. Remember the 1st episode of this season's Top Chef Canada where one chef prepped while the other chef had to finish the meal?  Terry brought that experience to this special Kitchener Market cooking class, and it was pretty cool to see that we could step up to the plate with the skills we have learned.

Next we  celebrated Local Food Week with the inaugural Farmers Dinner.  It was a fantastic evening with a 4 course dinner with local food offerings from the Saturday Market Vendors, cooked to perfection!

Topping the week off was the Local Food celebration with a Market Tour and Cooking Demo with Chef D and bonus cooking lesson from Chef Steven.

 

Ask The Experts

After the celebration I did my own shopping at Kitchener Market with lots of ingredients I had not bought before and was able to prepare them with extra insight given to me by both the chefs and the farm vendors I at the Kitchener Market this past week.  Lets just say I've never prepared a Celery Root aka Celeriac before, but before a washed and cleaned it I had a little fun by asking my facebook friends what this is

The answers ranged from aliens to owl pellets (with lots of correct answers in the mix too). 

How Do You Celebrate Local Food?

Participation in sports also provides physical, mental and emotional benefits that can support children through improved cognitive function for better learning, improved physical literacy, and the ability to lead healthy lives with a sense of social well-being.

Locally there will be a Tri-Fun Kids triathalon for ages 3-13 in Guelph on July 6th but there are several others close by in Vaughn, Mississauga and Milton.  In Oakville the will be holding a special triathalon just for ages 3-9

UPATE!!! I have been informed that the Guelph event will no longer be taking place.

Not only will the kiddos have a blast trying triathalon, they can also look forward to
