We had dinner with our good friends and neighbours, Barb and Clif,  last night.  I made Greek.  Greek Salad, which is both Moe’s and Barb’s favourite and slow roasted leg of lamb served with both rice and roasted potatoes.   You’ve got to love the way the Greeks serve both rice and potatoes with a meal….

  I’m still baking bread at least once a week.  Last Tuesday I kneaded up a batch of baguette dough, baked four small baguettes and saved the other half for another day.  Which turned out to be Sunday.  Moe pulled the dough out of the fridge early so that it was at room temperature by…

 I had a craving for something sweet.  So I pulled out the recipe for Texas Cookies.  I’ve been making these cookies for over 20 years, but hadn’t made them recently.  The recipe comes from Lee Bailey’s Good Parties Cookbook. Baked on a small cookie sheet or jelly roll pan and then cut into squares, these…

  I wanted halibut again and picked up two nice big steaks rather than fillets.  I prefer the fillet cut, but the steaks were priced at $2.00 per 100g and the fillets at 3.99 per 100g. And since they taste the same I decided to go with the steaks and just bone them out before…

Sometimes simple is best    I still had bread dough left over from when I baked last Tuesday.  I had intended to bake again on the weekend but didn’t get around to it.   So, I added some of the saved dough to a new batch of bread dough Monday and made a simple plain cheese…

I worked Easter weekend so dinners were simple.  We had roast chicken Saturday night.  As I have mentioned before, this is my favourite meal, and it can be ready in not much longer than an hour.   Moe turned on the oven so that by the time I walked in the door from work the oven  was preheated…

Nothing is better than fresh halibut.   The only fish that I can say that I really truly love.  I could eat it two or three times a week and not complain. There are a number of ways that I like to serve it but none is better or easier than simply pan roasting and then serving with…
