The spotted prawn season is coming to an end. It would normally be finished by now but the season has been extended for a few more days. Moe and I stopped at the docks in Cowichan Bay yesterday and waited until one of the boats came in and bought another five pounds of live prawns….

Italian Meatball Sandwiches
Another quick after work dinner, this time using leftovers. I’m not a big “leftover” fan, with few exceptions. Meatballs and pasta sauce being one of those exceptions. I made another batch of the Pork, Garlic and Basil Meatballs. on Friday night and we had them over spaghetti. Last night the leftover meatballs became meatball sandwiches….
Chocolate Cream Cheese Loaf Cake
I was up early this morning and had time to bake something before going to work. Decided to bake a Chocolate Cream Cheese Cake. I made this once before about three years ago. The recipe neglects to say what size pan to use. I used a large loaf pan last time. This time I made…
Steak and Eggs
Actually a sirloin burger with an egg served with toasted slices of homemade baguette. If Moe could only have one meal a day it would be breakfast.

The Saga of the Forgotten Salt
I was multi tasking yesterday morning. I had an appointment to get my hair cut and I also wanted to bake bread. I put a double batch of French bread on to knead in the Magic Mill. A little more than 8 cups of flour. I was trying to time it so that I could…

How to Make Gravy
Some people just can’t make gravy. Or at least they believe they can’t make a good gravy. Gravy is actually very easy to make. All you need is some flavourful pan drippings, flour, salt, pepper and liquid. I prefer to make all my gravies using either chicken or beef broth. Never water. And I like…
