Can I freeze Chicken Satay and Gravlax?
I have frozen gravlax before in a pinch. It may not be quite as good as fresh, but everyone still enjoyed it... It definitely didn't turn out watery.

What's the trick? (lasagna help, please!)
Most importantly, don't cut the lasagna when it is still very hot. That's usually why it looks messy and oozes sauce...

Southern BBQ in Mississauga! Blue Sage
Thanks... I have since been outvoted and we're taking our business to Milestone's :-( I'll just have to stop by another time.

Southern BBQ in Mississauga! Blue Sage
How is the atmosphere? I'm looking for a place in Mississauga for a work Christmas party. Very casual would be fine, but it would have to be somewhat cozy and definitely not dingy... The food sounds amazing!

Where to find loose leaf linden flower tea in Toronto (or online)?
I haven't bought any in a while, but I've seen it in several health food stores... Anywhere they have a selection of medicinal teas, they'll usually have lindenflower. I've bought some at Nature's Health Food on Bloor (@ Bathurst) before.

Sky Blue Sky Sandwich Co
New sandwich shop at 605 Bloor St. W. just west of Bathurst. Has anybody been?
They offer big sandwiches on homemade bread at excellent prices. I was excited to have some more variety in my neighbourhood, but was so disappointed. The bread was tasty but very dry. I tried the pulled pork and chicken salad sandwiches and both were terribly boring. My husband chose to heat a can of soup rather than finish his sandwich!
(All sandwiches are named after Wilco songs, by the way, which could almost be a cute gimmick.)

What foods would you buy organic?
I'm not all that knowledgable about the health or environment factors, so I'm going strictly by taste here... I love organic apples and organic, cage free eggs. Both have much more flavour.
I agree with Pincus about the organic coffee. It does taste much better, especially because it's usually shade grown. The coffee at Ten Thousand Villages is good and reasonably priced.
