Both of these dinners are very simple to put together. The chicken was roasted on high heat and tonight’s pork chops were grilled. The chops were rubbed with fresh garlic, salt, pepper and chipotle pepper so they were a little spicy. The corn came from our garden and was sweet and tender. I planted about…

Breakfast – Eggs in a Cloud
I made Moe wait for his breakfast this morning. But it was worth waiting for. I remembered one of Monique’s recent posts on her blog La Table De Nana when she baked Eggs in a Cloud.. I thought at the time that this was something that Moe would really love. And I was right. I…
Fish Dinner
I left for work an hour early yesterday morning so I could go to the farmers market. I picked up a number of fresh veggies – green beans, yellow beans, swiss chard, two more pounds of wonderful fresh garlic, zucchini, cauliflower and little fingerling potatoes. We had dinner with Clif, our next door neighbour. I…
Chocolate and Salt……….
I’ve always loved chocolate (although I confess it is milk chocolate that I love) and salt. So these cookies of Jacques Torres sprinkled with sea salt are the perfect cookie. Earlier this week I mixed up a batch of cookie dough and then baked nine a day until they were gone. Shared with our neighbours…
Sweet Cornbread Cake
Yesterday morning for breakfast I mixed up my favourite cornbread batter and made three mini loaves. I wanted something a little sweeter so I changed up the recipe a little. Increased the sugar and added a little orange zest to the mix. I tossed a few raspberries in a third of the batter. Moe ate…
Pizza Margherita
Pizza was on the menu here last night. I still had the other half of the dough I made on Wednesday so I baked a pizza and another loaf of bread. Moe pulled the dough out of the fridge a couple of hours before I got home from work so that the dough would be…
Plum Cake and Tarte Au Sucre Cake
Yesterday was “bake” day. I kneaded up a double batch of French bread dough and a batch of brioche dough. I baked three baguettes with half the French dough and the other half went back into the fridge (for tonight’s pizza). The brioche dough was divided in two and patted into two cake pans. One…
Canadian Back Bacon and Tomato Sandwiches
The weather has been just about perfect for tomatoes this year. I’m still picking three or four a day. I never get tired of toasted bacon and tomatoes sandwiches. Breakfast this morning was another one but this time I used Canadian Back Bacon and homemade buns.
Homemade Corn Tortillas Pictorial
(From Thibeault’s Table) For those that are interested in making tortillas maybe this pictorial will be of some assistance. The recipe is very simple. Just masa harina, salt and hot water. I don’t measure. I just pour 1 1/2 to 2 cups of the masa into a bowl, add some salt and enough hot water…
Pork Carnitas
Pork – Carnitas===============Two methods This first one is my version – recreation of the first time I had this dish. We were on vacation in Puerto Rico and looking for something different for dinner. A local suggested we try a little Mexican restaurant that was apparently a well kept secret from the tourists. I think…
