Christina and I promised a good friend of ours that we’d mention “Dining out for Life” on the blog. Our friend, Simon, is a Doctor of traditional Chinese Medicine and registered acupuncturist, and has been volunteering at health-related charities for over 10 years. Measured against Simon’s contributions over the years, this blog post really pales in significance; however, we thought it would still be worthwhile to do our part – however little – to spread the word.

As an aside, Simon has graciously agreed to publish a series of herbal soup recipes on this blog from time to time, and we couldn’t be more excited! Our friend has spent years training in his profession, and his knowledge of the wellness effects of traditional Chinese medicine on the human body is second to none. Hopefully, time permitting on our and Simon’s end, we can put together the first post shortly.

Back to “Dining out for Life”… On Mar 12, people eating out in Vancouver can have a good meal AND help to fight AIDS when they patronize any one of over 200 restaurants participating in the event. That day, 25% of food revenue at participating restaurants will be donated to the “A Loving Spoonful” and “Friends for Life” charities.

If you are planning to eat out on Mar 12, and would like to do a little bit of good while you’re at it, find out more by pointing your browsers here.
