Royally-iced cookies given to us by Matt. If you want your own, the Easter bunny's been visiting bakeries all over town.

Thank Jesus for Easter!

Guess who's back?

Bite Hard is back - again. This address will once again host a blog about Ottawa food and culture (plus, my personal photos which will continue to appear often).

Stop in for seasonal recipes, local food finds, and posts about alternative living in the capital city.

That said: Check out my recent review article at Supernaturale.com. Books on making, moving, pledging, and thrifting.

Sharkies, 2008

These little fishes are made from rice syrup and natural flavoring. Better than high-fructose corn syrup, but you'd still be better off eating a handful of grapes. Unless you're counting cuteness. I love these little guys. You can get em for a couple bucks a pack at MEC and Bushtuka.

Best Bunnies

Bunny!

Top: Wake-ups from Cindy. February is getting to me.
Bottom: Feeling so small.

Top: You know who.

Bottom: Tor and Christina Paradiso at Persian Cuisine Express on Laurier. PCE has hearty food, a cafeteria-style dining room, and no liquor license. I always order the fesenjan (a thick stew of chicken, walnut paste, and pomegranate). Also try: the white fish stew with vine leaves and a pot of spiced Persian tea.

Auto Response

Christina is on the move. Ottawa to Florida to California.

She won't have access to the internet or phone for over a month.

She'll get back to you, but it may take a while.
Check out her new site: www.christinarileyphoto.com

Take a train to a bus and then into the air.
If I had wings I’d follow you up there.

Nice view.

The best part about Sweet Art on Dalhousie are the lime-green walls. The service is very slow and the food is only so-so, but the ju-ju is just about perfect on a Sunday afternoon in January. Maybe you'll even see these two monkeys while you're there.
