Oh! I wish I'd had this guide when I was there in September! We ended up being rather disappointed with the food. Oh well, an excuse to go back!

It's amazing how many different ideas there are!

I would love to open a breakfast and lunch place. There would be good coffee, eggs and croissants and fruit for breakfast served with homemade jams and excellent sandwiches, salads and soups for lunch with really good cakes and cookies for dessert.

@sandn8r9 There's a place in Montreal called Soupe soup that also has some sandwiched. It's divine.

I'm with benbenberi, add a little lemon to your water if you really need some flavour. And you can switch it up with lime and orange if you need a change - the orange especially if you need something a little sweet.

You've come a long way, Ed! Congrats!

The only tapas place I've been is in Ottawa, a place owned by a couple that end up arguing on a pretty regular basis. I'm looking forward to getting to try the real deal in September, though, when I go to Barcelona!

Peach cobbler is at the top of my list!

What a great idea! I also love that it will save time for those frantic weeknights. I personally love to make pureed vegetable soups and freeze them in ziploc bags - I'm looking forward to hearing what else you come up with!

Congrats! That was a true test of will-power!!

Congrats, Ed! And Happy Birthday!
I read through all of your posts a little while ago, and man, I can understand why it's a struggle. Last year I started going out to restaurants a lot more and ended up putting on 15 pounds. I had to cut way back on my meals out to lose the weight. With all the eating out and tasting and minefields you go through everyday, I'm incredibly impressed. Way to go!
