taste of edmonton

Yesterday we made our way downtown to Taste of Edmonton to try various foods from a plethora of restaurants from around Edmonton. Each of us were allotted 10 tickets to try to stretch for all we could, to get the most possible value from them, Laurie's daughter (otherwise known as Veggie Girl) decided to share our findings with one another. With the new restriction of a vegetarian-style diet I found it hard to resist the call of the Chicken Penne and Lemon Chicken, however, I found some great vegan curried chicken, it didn't even have the texture of cardboard ! We also indulged in some green onion creation, vegetable panini and veggie spring rolls. To finish it off we had some desert consisting of chocolate covered strawberries and tiny chocolate espresso bites. All in all it was a fabulous day, even being in public in a swimsuit after eating that mountain of food didn't overly phase me since I was still dazed from the wonderful food. We decided to walk through the fountain to cool off from the 30 degree weather then sat in the sun to dry off and warm up again ... seems kind of counter productive now that I think of it ...
