FREE Cinnamon Knot Day!

Hi Everyone!

It looks like not everyone knows (or cares) that it's FREE Cinnamon Knot Day today at a Bread Garden near you.
Yes, despite the direct mail blitz, there were no lineups this morning at BG Urban Cafés all over the Lower Mainland, apparently to formally announce the rebranding / makeover of The Bread Garden into a trendier brown-colour-themed BG Urban Café (your VISA receipt will still show "Bread Garden", at least at the 888 West Pender Street location).
And although the flyers show the website address to end in an accented "e", it is actually not necessary to type that special character for the web address.

The Cinnamon Knot is not a cinnamon bun at all, but a moist and chewy twisted bread. Simple and delicious, and definitely worth a try, especially when they're handing them out free today. No coupon necessary -- just show up!

I also took the chance to pick up a "Black Ganache Cake", which is listed in the flyer as a "Chocolate Conspiracy Cake". Mostly it is a smooth khaki cream in the middle sandwiched by a rich brownie-like cake, plus cream and soft chocolate "croutons" on top. Beautiful, but at $5.99 before tax, I thought the wedge could have been a bit wider. Not so rich to give you a heavy feeling or so sweet to give you a burning in your throat, but definitely delicious.

Anyway, stop reading and go get your free Cinnamon Knot at these Lower Mainland locations! (^_^)

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en...

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 9

More assorted couples on my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. An American couple who joked about being from "the land of the giants" -- and with good reason, because both of them were really tall! A cute Jewish mother-daughter pair who ducked out part-way to divert to Israel. I vaguely remember the issue of the daughter being an orthodox Jew was highlighted in France when, to make things easy, she just declared herself vegetarian for the wait staff. I also remember there was some logistics error in France because our party size was way underestimated or simply relayed incorrectly, and there was a shortage of food at dinner. Dessert came as an unopened can of yogurt. It did not seem like they tried to make it up to us later, either. Plus there was smoking every which way in France, and I had a helluva time with that. We were also in a hotel that seemed tucked away in the burbs, and not walking distance from anythin...
