#1. I adore the show Food Jammers , in which “Three backyard mechanics make homebrew cooking equipment using junkyard parts, found objects, and locally sourced ingredients.” It redefines the DIY cooking show… Stumbled over it a while back and had this zoinks! moment where I realized one of the hosts is a guy I went to middle school with (Chris Martin). Then I discovered one of the other hosts is the brilliant Nobu Adilman. I can’t describe just how awesome it is. So watch it on the Food Network Canada! Or just check out their website to be convinced. #2. Steven Keewatin Sanderson’s very powerful (and sadly sold-out) comic book “Darkness Calls” has been turned into an animation by the suicide prevention team of the Gitksan Wet’suwet’en Education Society. I’ve been trying to get my hands on a print copy of this ever since he gave me one when we were on a Canada Council for the Arts jury together a couple years ago. Sanderson created it to: “address the epidemic suicide rate among First Nations youth. It was a project designed to introduce kids to the subject in a medium they might be more familiar with.”
