Thank you, Cavendish, for lowcarbluxury.com reference. I had not heard of it.
Linda's is a first rate site and Karen Barnaby-- well, compared to most commercial offerings of food she sits where Nordstrom does in relation to WalMart (or, Harrod's to Marks & Spencer in UK context). Somebody in the household better have a really good job and someone else better have plenty of free time and access to high end stores, if you're going to cook the Karen Barnaby way. But, she's great for showing the infinite possiblities!
Some day I would love to get to Vancouver. I was at Stanford University last February, but that's as north as I've gotten on the Pacific Northwest. I imagine it's a bit dreary in Deutschland right now as winter draws to a close. Maybe you'll see edelweis soon!
Do you check in with any other threads than this one? This is actually my first time posting on a low carb site, so I'm not what you'd call savvy.
