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.
Sole Almondine
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…
