Green Apron -- Quiz Quilt 216 Puzzle
Robert Jen
approved of the new food blog called The Green Apron, subtitled
"Cooking (and Drinking) with Alcohol". Cameron Loggans, who
apparently will eat or drink anything related to alcohol, has
already posted recipes for tiramisu (coffee liqueur), ratatouille
(red wine), mushroom medley (Sauvignon Blanc), and salsa verde
(tequila). I'm a teetotaler, so you'll have to judge the results for
yourself. http://blog.foodservicewarehouse.com/cooking-with-alcohol

FRINGE is in the third column reading downward, and I believe it
refers in this context to a fringe or apron of grass on a lawn.

Answers:
YYZ for Toronto Pearson International Airport -- Erland Sommarskog got it.
YTZ for Toronto City Centre Airport -- Stephen Perry knew the name.
Porter Airlines <http://www.flyporter.com>. Since YTZ has only a short
runway, they use STOL airplanes -- the Bombardier Q400 turboprop.

And in case anyone didn't get Robert's pun, it's because Rush has an
instrument with this name, named after the airport. Appears on "Moving
Pictures", generally considered to be their best album, although it's
not my personal favourite.
