Re: Cooking for Klingons!

Wow, what are the odds! I guess the stars aligned on this one, especially as I never would have known in a million years that Dorn is vegan (I've gotten some heat on FB on the vegan things, especially as there is no word for vegetarian in Klingon apparently). I was also thinking of trying out the same with vietnamese thick Vermicelli which would absorb even more of the beet colour, or try live octupi (the korean delicacy) but couldn't find a source anywhere... and probably wouldn't have been a good idea for the KFM blog anyways. Hope this is of help, and I saw your tweet about tuesday's political thing. Check out my blog last week on NDP steak, or Heather's wed blog on Wildrose Tarts. Maybe that'll give you some inspiration.

This is awesome! I'm actually cooking for klingons next week - Worf and the rest of the cast - and Michael Dorn (who plays the klingon) actually is vegan!

Nick, you should have received an email by now. The person who does the new vendors is in Regina for a couple of days and will be back by Friday. Give the market a phone call at 403-255-3276 to discuss.

Good idea! Healthy Chef Delivery and FitNut Calgary just handed the Mayor an exclusive personal Dietitian assessment and a FREE ORGANIC Entree every week for the next 90 Days! Each week we will monitor the weight lost and adjust Mayor Nenshi's diet. Our program complements the Slow Food movement and support the Mayor's Sustainable Calgary group.

Hippies,

That is the problem with a three minute video show. You don't have time to tell the whole story.

Kings' Orchard, Prairie Farms and the Big Tomato are in the market to fill a need for fresh produce when there is no fresh produce grown in Alberta - October to late June. And even within those months, certain products eg strawberries are only available for a short window of time. These vendors are at the market to make sure that people can get a wide variety of produce when they want it.

As the Alberta products are ripe and ready for sale, these vendors will be buying as much product as is possible from Alberta farmers.

Lots of farmers love to grow food but they have no desire to be at farmers markets. These vendors will be supporting those types of farmers during the summer.

Thanks for the opportunity to clarify.

Tim, only "make it bake it grow it"?? Where's Kings Orchard located? Where's "Prairie Farms" Farm ?

@Tundrakat,

We have the 'closed Easter Sunday' rotating in the display on the home page.

I will look at making it more visible to people.

Good to know but was hard to find this information - it would be nice if it was make clear on the opening home page.
