I baked a bone-in ham for dinner on Wednesday night. Along with the ham we had a rich potato gratin (cooked in heavy cream). Other sides were squash and broccoli. We shared dinner with Clif and Barb and Erwin another of our neighbours. I didn’t get a picture of dinner but I did take one…

Risotto with Prawns
Dinner tonight was influenced by Mary. Of course dinner is often influenced by her. If you haven’t visited Mary’s blog Once Upon A Plate you are in for a visual treat. Mary posted today about an Oven Baked Parmesan Risotto. A little different than a traditional stove top risotto but delicious all the same. I…

Cheddar Cheese Crackers
I was looking for something to do with sharp cheddar cheese and found inspiration in a photo on Tastespotting. The picture posted by Zoomyummy was for a Salty Cheese Cookie. I adapted the recipe slightly and rather than cookies made both crackers and little cheese olive bites. I thought that these crackers actually tasted even…

Moe’s Diner………….. Daily Special
Before heading off to work on Sunday I roasted two small chickens. Just so I could make hot chicken sandwiches for dinner. And you can’t have hot chicken sandwiches without homemade fries and of course canned peas. I know, I’m sorry, but canned peas are a tradition and ALWAYS served on the side with hot…
