………it makes the best toast lots of crevices to hold the butter A biga made with 2 oz of just-fed sourdough starter was mixed up Sunday night and Monday morning it was added to 4 cups of flour with just an 1/8th of a teaspoon of yeast. The starter is strong enough to make bread…

Grilled Baby Back Ribs with an Asian Twist
I was planning on grilling Greek Style Baby Back Ribs for dinner tonight. But after seeing Lori’s (All That Splatters) Asian Lime Ribs I was inspired to try something Asian. The ribs were rubbed with fresh garlic, salt, pepper and the juice from a lemon. Grilled until tender and then served with an Asian dipping…
Hamburger and Fries
I picked up some ground sirloin on the way to work yesterday. Dinner didn’t take long to put together. Peeled and hand-cut the fries and got them soaking in cold water. Put the oil on to heat (350° for the first fry). While the oil was heating up I seasoned and formed the burgers. Seasoning…
Tex- Mex Seven Pepper Chili
This is my favourite Chili recipe. I don’t always have the 7 different peppers but it doesn’t seem to make a difference. I use this recipe as a guideline and season to suit our taste. Before leaving for work yesterday morning I put a pot of chili on to simmer and a pot of pinto…
This Weeks Bread
Sourdough French Bread I baked six loaves. Four Baguettes and two larger loaves. There are only four in the photos because I gave one away and we cut into one while it was still warm. I love the crackling sound the bread makes when it comes out of the oven. The crust…
Spanish Tortilla Breakfast
I let Matthew choose what I should make for breakfast and he picked Spanish Tortilla. Good choice. I hadn’t made one in a while. Even though this is most often served as a Spanish Tapa, we enjoy it for breakfast. Although traditionally cooked on top of the stove, I bake mine in the…
Perogies for Dinner
Matt has a few days off work so he came up late yesterday afternoon and stayed the night. I love having our son home. One of Matt’s favourite meals is Perogies – so that is what we had. Although a little time consuming they are very easy to make. Served with fried onions, bacon…

Baked Ham Dinner
Hams were on sale this week so I picked up a nice big one. Butt end bone-in smoked ham. Nothing more simple to cook than a ham. Just put it in a roasting pan, cover tightly with foil and place in a 325°F oven for two to four hours depending on the size of the…
