This is an easy dinner to make on a worknight. The wings are season and coated with cornstarch and baked in a 450°F oven for about 40 minutes, turning after 20 minutes. Served with your favourite dipping sauce. Mine is TBQ sauce.
THANKSGIVING DINNER
Canada celebrates our Thanksgiving the 2nd Monday in October. Didn’t want to cook a turkey or a ham and have to deal with all of the leftovers, so I went with a Cornish Game Hen. I boned it, leaving just the legs and wings and stuffed with a wild rice and mushroom stuffing. Served with…
STEAK DINNER
Bought a Sterling Silver NY strip roast and cut into four thick steaks. Froze three and grilled one tonight for Moe and I to share. Served with a simple red wine sauce, roasted potato wedges, green and yellow zucchini and fried mushrooms.

SIMPLE CHICKEN CURRY
Decided late in the day to make my favourite chicken curry for dinner. If I had more time I would have also made Aloo Gobi, but it came down to the decision of the Aloo Gobi or homemade Chapati. The Chapati won.
PIZZA NIGHT
I had a dough in the fridge since last Monday. It was 800g of flour, 50g of starter, salt and 1 gram of yeast and 560g of water. After the last stretch and fold it went into the fridge until around mid morning yesterday. I needed to do something with it so I made a…
LOCAL GARLIC
My favourite season is Garlic, Corn and Tomato. We had the first corn of the season two weeks ago and today I got my first garlic from my favourite farm, that is only five minutes from home. Karen grows the most beautiful perfect garlic. This is the fourth year I have bought garlic from this…
SOURDOUGH SANDWICH SIZE BAGUETTES
Hadn’t baked in a week, as it has been to hot to want to turn the oven on. Has cooled off so fed my “discard in the jar” starter yesterday morning and made a 1000g flour batch last night. Left on the counter for a room temperature fermentation and baked 11 sandwich size baguettes this…
BROCCOLI AND CHEDDAR QUICHE
I don’t make quiche very often. Just every few years. I got home from work around 6:00 last night, later than usual and then I got the bright idea to bake a quiche. I quickly made my all butter pastry and got it into the fridge while I made the filling. I don’t really have…
BOSTON CREAM PIE
Never quite understood why this “cake” was called a pie, but apparently it dates back to 1880. I’ve been making this dessert since 1978. It has always been a family favourite. Realized I hadn’t made it in a few years so baked it yesterday It isn’t difficult to make. Once the cake is in the…
