Here are a couple of shots of my fun adventure to Cobourg, Ontario yesterday where I met so many interesting people and discovered new shops and fun ingredients! Picked up the thai green chili at a quaint gourmet shop called "A matter of taste". The owner Elaine is the sweetest, she knows her food stuff and is a pleasure to chat with. If you're ever out east do stop in and say hi to her, then pickup some of the cool ingredients she has in shop!
