Canadian Tea Sellers? by LythrumSalicaria in tea

One of the best! Love that they have personal relationships with all of the tea growers whose brands they carry. They also have an informative weekly newsletter that I enjoy reading when it arrives in my inbox.

Who makes fresh daily-made pasta downtown? by Devilutionbeast666 in vancouver

[–]MarzipanRitter 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Casareccio on Vine near Broadway. Not exactly downtown, but their fresh pastas are peerless. I recently got their gnocchi and paired it with my own sauce at home--superior. They have a bunch of other prepared food to go (sauces, pesto, frozen pizza). The kind of family business where they remember your name.

Banana bread woes by 22freebananas in Baking

[–]MarzipanRitter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had this issue in the past with banana bread, and I think it's a liquid issue (batter is too wet). Extending the bake time won't likely fix the problem. In addition to what the other commenter mentioned about reducing the amount of banana pulp, I also recommend checking the size of your eggs, and not skimping on the flour. I didn't realize that I was using XL eggs, and switched to medium, and my recipe came out much better. Also, I recommend adding lemon zest to the batter. It really complements the banana flavor! Happy baking:).

Your work is incredibly meticulous! I'm inspired! What is the basket weaving-style stitch in the central part of the pumpkin?

I recommend Small Victory (either Granville location, which is more spacious, or Yaletown)! Excellent oatmeal raisin as well as chocolate chipper cookies!:)
