Devan, who writes a blog called Eat it or Leave it, and is obviously passionate about both food and art, took over the place for friends and onlookers to host his 26th birthday.

His mandate? To depict the relationship between food and art via various visual, edible and inedible exhibitions.

It was a well attended night with some great art and good food, both real and artistic.

The room was busy:

There was some cool food related art:

And these were my favourite pieces. A sushi dinner, all made with candy:

and this “stadium” made with watermelon, pasta, broccoli trees, and little gummi bears as the people – fantastic:

We love how the new Meta Gallery has evolved. Looking forward to more events like this.

On this rainy Tuesday night, the first market of the season, I walked over to check out the vendors. The booths are somewhat scattered throughout the northwestern portion of the park near Dundas, but all looked full of fresh organic produce. Lots of lettuces, kale, and berries were on display. Somewhat hidden in a corner was a  trout dealer where I picked up a couple of fresh whole trouts plus a pint of wild blueberries, from the first harvest of the season.

Now off to make dinner!
