Here is what pierogi night looked like from behind the flour cloud.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;em&gt;The long table mid-session: rolling pins out, aprons on, technique debates already underway.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://popular.mariatta.ca/foodie/images/post-2.png" alt="Trays of folded pierogi" loading="lazy" decoding="async"&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Two trays in and the folds were finally holding. Mostly.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://popular.mariatta.ca/foodie/images/post-3.png" alt="The tasting at the end of the night" loading="lazy" decoding="async"&gt;

&lt;em&gt;The part everyone actually came for: butter, onions, and the tasting line.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Two Breads and a Coffee Machine: bake-and-brew recap</title><link>https://popular.mariatta.ca/foodie/blog/two-breads-and-a-coffee-machine/</link><pubDate>Sat, 30 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://popular.mariatta.ca/foodie/blog/two-breads-and-a-coffee-machine/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The premise was simple: everyone brings two breads, the club brings the coffee machine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Eighteen loaves showed up: sourdoughs with serious ears, a chocolate babka that never stood a chance, and one heroic first-ever ciabatta. The coffee machine hissed along bravely until the pour-over table stole its audience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The butter tasting settled nothing (salted still rules, cultured is catching up fast), and the crumb-shot photo wall is already pinned in the club chat. Same time next spring, and yes, the babka baker has been asked for the recipe.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Ice cream selfie flash mob: the photo</title><link>https://popular.mariatta.ca/foodie/blog/ice-cream-selfie-flash-mob/</link><pubDate>Sat, 09 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://popular.mariatta.ca/foodie/blog/ice-cream-selfie-flash-mob/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The rules were simple: appear at the fountain by 12:55 with an ice cream (cone strongly encouraged, cup tolerated), raise it at 1:00 for one enormous group selfie, and by 1:15 pretend it never happened.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://popular.mariatta.ca/foodie/images/post-2.png" alt="The group selfie at Fountain Plaza" loading="lazy" decoding="async"&gt;

&lt;em&gt;A plaza full of cones, zero melted casualties, one very confused dog walker.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rumours of a sequel are true. Keep an eye on the events page, the crawl crew is already scouting the next backdrop.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The great poutine debate: curds matter</title><link>https://popular.mariatta.ca/foodie/blog/poutine-debate/</link><pubDate>Tue, 28 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://popular.mariatta.ca/foodie/blog/poutine-debate/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;What began as a casual dinner turned into a ninety-minute symposium on squeak. Our conclusions: fresh curds are non-negotiable, gravy thickness is a personality trait, and fries must survive the sauce.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The cook-off in September will settle nothing, and we can&amp;rsquo;t wait.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Dessert crawl photo diary</title><link>https://popular.mariatta.ca/foodie/blog/dessert-diary/</link><pubDate>Sun, 15 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://popular.mariatta.ca/foodie/blog/dessert-diary/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Twelve members, five dessert stops, one shared conclusion: there is always room for one more bite.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ube soft-serve won the day by unanimous silence, the kind that only happens when everyone&amp;rsquo;s too busy eating to talk.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Route notes and recommendations are in the club chat for anyone doing the crawl solo.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
