We had big bowls of spaghetti with meat sauce for dinner tonight. I put the pot of sauce on to simmer early in the afternoon. Moe put in a request for my Gorgonzola Garlic Bread. I hadn’t made it for him in awhile. We lived in Dunkirk, NY for a couple of years and we…

Prawns with Lemon Pesto
While the local spotted prawns are in season we will probably have them once a week. Yesterday, Clif and Barb, our wonderful neighbours, picked up five pounds of live prawns at the Cowichan Bay docks. Clif cleaned them so that, when I got home from work, I mixed up a lemon pesto and tossed the…
Herbed Rack of Pork
This has been one of those weeks where I haven’t done much cooking. Last Wednesday we went out for dinner with our neighbours. Thursday I had a craving for a hot dog, so, on the way home from work. I stopped and pick up European wieners and a baguette. TIP: If you are like me…
Sole for the Soul
I’m making an effort, to cook more fish. Moe loves all fish. Me? Not so much. The only fish that I can honestly say I enjoy is halibut. Petrale Sole is almost always available fresh and I don’t mind it. And it is a fish that can be fried, poached, baked, stuffed, etc. We had…
Diner Breakfast
Local Farm Fresh Eggs Moe loves my days off because I usually make him at least one big breakfast. When we lived in the big city (Toronto, Vancouver) there were many different restaurants, including Jewish Delis to enjoy big breakfasts. I’m not as interested in bacon and eggs as Moe is so if I’m going…
Chicken Kiev
Dinner tonight was Chicken Kiev with a blue cheese and chive butter rather than the more traditional parsley and tarragon butter. It didn’t take very long to prepare. I already had the butter made. It was leftover from the steak dinner we had a few days ago. No real recipe – just an outline. Mix…
White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
I promised Moe I would bake cookies today. His favourite cookie is the “Best Oatmeal Cookies”. I posted the recipe here a few weeks ago. This time, for something a little different, I added one cup of Callebaut white chocolate (broken up into small chunks). Along with the sugar topping I also sprinkled the top…

Spotted Prawns
I love, love, love local spotted prawns. The season is very short, between 6 and 8 weeks. I drove down to the dock in Cowichan Bay today and picked up 10 pounds of prawns right off the boat. Half for us and the other half for our neighbour Clif. I took a big pail with…
French Bread
Bake day. I was out of homemade bread and I go back to work tomorrow so I needed to bake today. Made 5 loaves of French Bread, semi baguette style. I doubled Julia Child’s recipe.
