The Cookbook Store is closing its doors this week, after providing thirty-one years of in-depth stock knowledge, gustatory adventure and fabulous events. They'll leave a major gap in Toronto's literary landscape.  Here's wishing them all the best in whatever comes next.

And here's a small reminder: if you value in the independent stores in your community, the time to support them is now, not when they're closing their closing their doors for good.

SINGLE'S AWARENESS DAY CONTEST WINNERS [Feb. 14th, 2014|01:58 pm]

cszego
Some funny entires, some serious ones, but for sheer effort, this year's winner is J.M., who chose Loki  as depicted in the 2012 Avengers movie ("As everyone and their brother have the hots for him, I'm pretty sure I don't need to explain why him.. ;D").

"O black haired stepchild
I bare my chest to you
Bury your spear deep inside
My heart was already yours
O
make me long for something as sweet as pain."


BUT... as usual, there were other entries that really tickled our fancy. So we also chose two runners up.

J.M. (a different J.M) chose Robert E. Howar'ds Conan:

"A simple 'happy valentine’s day' and a small fancy heart shaped box of chocolates would do. I think he would be knee-deep in such offerings from adolescent girls. Adult women would have other ideas."

And J.P., who chose Temeraire from Naomi Novik's books:
"Because what other character would appreciate more something as refined and delicious as SOMA chocolate. :)"


Thanks for your entries, and enjoy Half Priced-Chocolate's Eve!
