Food and Drink

What an incredible two week experience I've had. Not only did I meet over 32 new people, 10+ people were surprised with coffee each day and about 6 old friends during this project, I learned a lot along the way.

It's the second to last day of tweet to eat and that makes me pretty sad, overall.

Friday came and went and was quite lovely. I only have two days left on my journey. I challenge you this weekend to reach out to someone, anyone, say hello, introduce yourself and start up a conversation.

I've been joking lately with Andrew Morrison at Scout Magazine that I am the Subway Jared to his Anthony Bourdain. Which is to say that I'm not much of a food critic. I eat it. It's good. For V.I.A.

I just got home from the most unbelievable James Blake concert, and I actually went with a new friend I met through all this #Tweettoeat stuff! I'm having dinner with him tomorrow, so I will fill you all in then! Coffee time! This morning at Bean Aro

Every week I compile a collection of the most mouthwatering food photos that I shot in & around Vancouver. The hashtag #todiefor denotes an item truly knee weakening in flavour. Questions? Tweet me @erinireland Urban Digs Egg by Burdock & Co.

There is a quote from activist and farmer, Caesar Chavez: ”If you really want to make a friend, go to someone’s house and eat with him…The people who give you their food give you their heart.

It's day 9 and I am feeling sad that at the end of this week, I won't get to meet new people each and every day. Sharing meals with strangers is beautiful and offers such an opportunity to get to know someone.

It's Monday and the start of week 2. I am sad that this social experiment is half way through, but I'm also incredibly excited for the week that lies ahead.

It's officially been one week! One week down and another to go. What an experience it has been so far, and I wish I was doing it longer. It's wonderful meeting so many great people.
