Pork Souvlaki Orange, Onion and Kalamata Olive Salad Another work day meal. One that can be put together in about an hour. Pork Souvlaki served with rice and a Orange, Onion and Kalamata Olive Salad.

Old Fashioned Homemade Fudge
Had a craving for something sweet last night. I was out of maple syrup which I need to make my Maple Walnut fudge, so I tried something a little different. Added walnuts and white chocolate. Definitely a keeper. Smooth and creamy with just a hint of white chocolate. Home Cookin Chapter: Recipes From Thibeault’s Table…
Qualicum Bay Scallops
Dinner was fresh local asparagus and the scallops were almost local. They came from Qualicum, just a little further up Island. Found a recipe on line that I thought Moe would like. Lots of good things in the sauce including gin.I made a few adjustments to suit our tastes. The original recipe can be found…
Rhubarb Pie – A Taste of Spring
Leaf Crust Hand Cut When I think spring, I think Rhubarb. I always look forward to the first rhubarb of the season. This is my favourite pie. And I’m a purist. No strawberries or other fruit in my rhubarb pie, thank you very much. I’ve tried many recipes over the years, but stopped looking after…
Potato Leek Soup and Sour dough French Baguette

Paella
Chicken and Prawn Paella Platted This morning before leaving for work, I gave some thought to what we would have for dinner. I still had some spotted prawns in the freezer that I could do something with. I just wasn’t sure what. Then I got the brilliant idea of making a Paella. I had almost…
Tex-Mex – Act II
I don’t like leftovers. Or maybe I should clarify that. I like very few leftovers. But this is one of the few meals that I make out of “deliberate” leftovers. The beans, pork, salsa all end up in what I call “Mexican Layered Supreme”. Guacamole does not keep, so I made a fresh batch. Rather…
Tex-Mex
Pork Carnitas Roasted Tomato Salsa Guacamole Mexican was on the menu here tonight. Pork Carnitas in homemade corn tortillas and served with pinto beans and guacamole. Washed down with Sangria. The pinto beans were put on to simmer in the morning. The beans had been soaked overnight. And I roasted tomatoes on the grill for…
Wings
Wings were on the menu last night. I love wings. Usually I serve them with homemade fries or onion rings. But last night we just ate wings. Not a very healthy food day, between Hello Dolly squares and wings. I seasoned the wings earlier in the day with fresh garlic, cayenne pepper, hot red pepper…
