Why Pay so much for Vanilla  

30 Beans Madagascar for $20.00 

When you chose fresh vanilla make sure you could wrap the beans around your finger without the bean cracking.

PS: at Farmer Market or Granville Island the beans have to be pre-order as I do not grow it myself.

  Farmers Market are: make it, bake it or grow it.

The Difference with a Farmers Market and a carnival is at a real farmer market 

everything you see is make, bake or grow from the real farmers and foods artisans, made from scratch 

no stores owner except for bread bake, no imported goods or repackaging. 

A carnival is more a place where anything goes, imported goods, stores owner promoting there business, repackages goods or copycat of other business and usually farmers market reject 

The Ladner market is a good example of a Carnival, nothing wrong with it but the use of Farmer market for this event is pretty loose 

Bacon Train

For the last 10 years there is a vengance with bacon everything, from bacon sea salt to bacon chocolate chip cookies, bacon ice cream, bacon strip dip in chocolate, bacon cinnamon buns, bacon popcorn... and lately we have fund very sophisticated chef creating masterpiece and scavenger coping the trend just to be on the train with minimum effort as creator, just there to milk the market.
In the next weeks I will created my own recipe and you let me know how it is but in the same time I want to let you with a fun recipe I found online at Royal Bacon society (Recipe by Marianne  09/ 17/ 2008)
So easy  idiot proof to empress your guest
Cheer from Vancouver

Bacon Cinnamon Rolls

OMG! These look so good, and so easy to make. The brilliant Mr. B over at Bacon Today came up with this crafty idea, and I cannot wait to try it. Basically, you buy a tube of pre-made cinnamon rolls, unroll each one, place a strip of bacon inside and roll it back up. Cook according to the instructions on the tube and you’re done!

Skulls and Bacon had the same question I did: was the bacon done enough? Mr. B says he was fine with the bacon as it was, although he admits he’s not necessarily a crispy bacon guy. I have a feeling I would want to pre-cook the bacon just a little. Also, one of his readers tried the recipe and found that she had a hard time unrolling the rolls. Be sure you get a nice big can of high-quality dough to make your job easier. That said, I say we all go out and try it this weekend!
