$1 cake at Breka Bakery and Cafe

Breka Bakery on Urbanspoon Breka Bakery is interesting in many ways, and depending on what you are used to, it can be a refreshing change.

For starters, it's a 24-hour  café. Not special on its own, but add that everything is made by hand on site, and with no additives and preservatives. Now compare it with other places that typically either do their baking in the morning and ease off by afternoon because they'd otherwise end up with overstock at night; or cafés that ship in factory mass-produced stuff in the morning. At Breka, you are likely to get reasonably fresh bread and made-same-day cakes whenever you drop by.

When I was there at 8pm last Friday, they had a good selection of cakes, and each portion was fairly large at reasonable prices, typically under $4 if not under $3. There was just one selection of "day old" cake, going for a mere $1 per slice. If you're a Starbucks person, compare this with a single small $2 whoopie pie. If you've been in downtown Vancouver coffee shops for too long, you'll probably jump for joy at these prices.

Of what I tried, the quality of the cakes is on par with what you might get in a restaurant for $6-8. Not fancy enough to warrant more, unless you're in a fine dining establishment that has set the price point with $30 mains. Overall, it's reasonably priced, medium to large portions, with the added bonus of being hand made.

Meet Melissa Gaines and her blurry sexy pics

Oh boy! I had no sooner finished posting about the lovely Taylor Burch responding to my personals ad on Craigslist when Melissa Gaines (e-mailing from erikmcclure858@yahoo.com) mailed me a couple more pictures of her lithe body and selling her profile on the same looks-like-a-phishing-scam site (http://craigslistsafe.net/profiles/melx3/). One of them was an NSFW naked-breasts pic which I haven't posted here (sorry -- but honestly, nothing to write home about, especially with the serious bikini tan lines).

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.
