Democrats Abroad Fundraiser
I get sent various press releases and I pick and choose what I will include on my website. This is primarily a food blog but because it's run by me and I happen to be a person of many conflicting and eclectic and diametric tastes and values more than not things slip onto this site that aren't food focused. Sometimes I later delete them. Because usually they were uploaded in haste, in response to a moment in time that I would rather forget than broadcast in detailed memory, but some experiences are worth savouring and airing to the larger public. This is one of those.
Roger from the organization Democrats Abroad Canada sent me an email about a fundraiser called Bites without Borders. It is being held at that fun loving Cajun/Creole restaurant on Markham Street called Southern Accent and it's to raise money for DAC (in advance of November's US elections) as well as for a New Orleans restaurant that was sadly destroyed by Hurrican Katrina. It's open to both American and Canadian citizens but I strongly suggest that you toe the blue line if you want to engage in playful debate.
The Scoop:
