Dinner tonight was Spicy Chicken Cakes. One of those dishes that Moe and I both like but I haven’t made them in a while. Linda (Doucanoe) shared this recipe on the Gardenweb’s Cooking Forum a few years ago. The original recipe calls for a Horseradish Aioli. As much as I love horseradish, I find…

Tossed in a few raspberries. Scones – Print Recipe 2 1/4 cups flour1/2 cup sugar2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder1/2 teaspoon…
High Heat Roasting
Back to work after three days off. I took a small boneless rib roast out of the freezer for dinner. After it thawed Moe salted it. Seasoned with fresh garlic and lots of coarse ground black pepper, it was started on a hot grill to sear and then finished off in a 500°F oven. It…
Angel Hair Pasta with Lobster
I didn’t get nearly as much done as I had wanted on my days off this week. It snowed Monday and Tuesday wasn’t much better. So that left Wednesday. It was only raining so I headed down to Victoria to finish up my Christmas shopping. On the way home I stopped at the market thinking…

Another night I…
Weekly Bread Post
This bread makes the best toast. I kneaded up a large batch of bread dough on Tuesday morning. Baked four baguettes on Wednesday and saved half the dough to make pizza and two more loaves of bread Thursday night. Moe took the dough of the fridge an hour or so before I got home…
My Favourite Cornbread
Baked in a vintage Griswold cast iron frying pan Being a “Northerner” and a “Canadian” at that, I like my cornbread on the sweet side. The exception is when I bake it with the idea of using at least some of it in a Cornbread stuffing/dressing. I have two cornbread recipes that I use interchangeably. …
Chiles Rellenos
I have been making Chiles Rellenos for about 30 years. I have never had an actual recipe. I just watch someone I knew (from Texas) make them and have been making this way ever since. 1 or 2 cans whole chili peppers (usually 3 or 4 in a can) (or roast fresh poblano peppers) Monterey…
