So I haven't drawn too much lately, it's been just work work work, but this was interesting enough to blog about, my friend Ian Sit got himself into becoming a vendor at the first ever Toronto Underground (food) Market, "TUM" for short. Me being the only other friend that really enjoys cooking as a hobby he got me and my girlfriend (Mujia Liao) to help out in this challenge... is save to say that without our help this would have fell apart for him hahaha, he decided to cook a breakfast compact into a dumpling, the dumpling had a egg yolk inside, a little bit of bacon infused maple syrup, some fresh cooked bacon bits for salt, fresh parsley for some freshness, wrapped in vermicelli wrapper and deep fried for crunchiness. the even itself seemed like quite a success with many awesome vendors cooking up really good food.
We also got to aprons and a t-shirt from the event, the apron came in handy for keeping the messy egg whites at bay. Over all it was a very tiring event cooking/serving all day, but it was quite a experience and over all response to our dumpling seems pretty positive, which is great considering we were underdogs (and don't actually cook for a living) compared to the other vendors which were pros.
Here are some blogs and articles covering the events and our http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifdumplings:
