I’ve made a decision to cook fish more often. Or at least make an effort to cook fish more often. . But there are so few fish that I really like that it makes it difficult. Pretale Sole, like Halibut is one fish that I like enough to eat more than once a week. And,…
Multi National Dinner
Dinner the other night was, for lack of a better description – “Multi National”. The main course was Oxtails which could be from just about any country. The sides were Spaetzle which can be German or Hungarian or some other eastern European “noodle” and Fassolakia Iadera a Greek Green Bean, Zucchini and Potato Stew. The…
The Sweet and the Savory
A couple of breakfasts this week – Raspberry Scones and Cheese and Chive Biscuits. The Sweet Thursday’s breakfast. Scones show up here on the breakfast menu a couple of times a month. I keep raspberries, blackberries and blueberries in the freezer just for scones. My Favourite Scone Recipe And The Savory Friday’s Breakfast. Cheese…
Double Batch of French Bread
Baking bread is my favourite “kitchen” activity on my days off work. I kneaded up a double batch of French bread dough yesterday and stuck it in the fridge until this morning. It need about three hours to come to room temperature. Once it did it was knocked down and then left to rise a…
Asian Style Chicken Wings with a Spicy Garlic Ginger Sauce
I’m not a big fan of sweet bbq sauces on ribs or wings. In fact I dislike sweet bbq sauces immensely (sounds nicer than hate). But I don’t mind garlic honey Asian sauces. So when I saw these wings on Foodgawker today I thought I would give them a try. Like the Ravenous Couple, who…
Caramel Popcorn with Sea Salt
I found a couple of recipes for Caramel Popcorn on line and they all looked good. But the one that appealed to me the most was this one from Fare to Remember What appealed to me the most about this recipe was that the ingredients were very similar to my fudge/caramel recipe. Salted Caramel Popcorn…
Sunday and Monday Night Dinners
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…
