Sole is one of Moe’s favourite fish. I really should cook it more often. Next best thing to Dover Sole is the Petrale Sole that is available out here on the west coast. Sweet and delicate. Tonight we had it very simply prepared – dipped in flour and quickly fried and served with a browned…

Making do with what’s on hand…….
Too lazy to go out today so I made do with what I had on hand. Pulled Lamb shanks out of the freezer. Browned, seasoned with salt and pepper, sauted onions and garlic, added beef broth and a squirt of tomato paste, covered and cooked in a 350°F oven until almost tender. Added cubed rutabaga…
Sticky Toffee Muffins
I love Sticky Toffee Pudding and what could be better for breakfast than Sticky Toffee Muffins, covered in Caramel sauce. The muffins are very similar to a traditional sticky toffee pudding. A couple of years back, I had one of Sticky Toffee pudding photos published in a British magazine – Cumbria Food & Drink Spring…
Chicken Piccata
Another one of those easy ‘after-working-all-day’ dinners. Chicken Piccata can be prepared in almost the time it takes to bring a large pot of water to boil and cook the pasta. Rather than use the traditional capers in the piccata I always add green peppercorns. I prefer dried green peppercorns rather than the kind that…
Bagels and Breakfast
Started a batch of bagels while I was preparing dinner last night. Started about 5:30 pm and the bagels came out of the oven at 8:30. Cheddar and Onion. Moe and I both had toasted bagels with tomatoes for breakfast. My favourite topping on a toasted bagel. The recipe for the bagels can be found…
Pulled from the Freezer
Started my four day work schedule yesterday. Decided on something simple for dinner, because I also wanted to bake bagels last night. I still had some of the perogies I made a few weeks back, in the freezer so they became dinner. Fried up some side pork and onions to go with them. I posted…
King Crab, Greek Salad and Bread and Butter Pudding……
Ready to be steamed How does that sound? To me, it sounds like Barb’s Birthday dinner. Three of her favourite foods. Her husband Clif, bought 6 pounds of King Crab and gave it to me to cook. It was suppose to be a surprise, but Barb figured it out. I made the Greek Salad and…
Breakfast X 2
Spanish Tortilla – Potato Omelette Buttermilk Biscuits with Cheddar, Chives and Dill Yesterday I made a late breakfast, late enough to be called brunch. A Spanish Tortilla . Or at least my version of a Spanish Tortilla. Traditionally a Spanish Tortilla is cooked on top of the stove. But, I prefer to start it on…
Chocolate and Caramel Roasted Almonds
Found this recipe on another blog Piggy’s Cooking Journal. Thought they sounded good and I just happened to have a bag of whole almonds in the freezer. The recipe is very easy. I coated half with Callebaut dark chocolate and the other half with Callebaut white chocolate. I actually prefer the white chocolate better. Click…
Pepperoni and Mushroom Pizza
Moe suggested that I make pizza on one of my days off this week. But just the mention of pizza had me thinking about it all day at work yesterday. So when I got home from work I offered Moe the option of pizza with the warning that he would have to wait a few…
