Woooo ten of these! Woo, I say. Amy is doing school related things at the school where she works and I am preparing dinner. I am preparing quiche which is probably the most complicated single dish that I personally can prepare with any degree of success. Here, let me share with you my recipe in [...]

This evening for dinner, Amy prepared a really, really tasty new sauce comprised of peanut butter, sesame seeds, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, soy sauce and some other stuff. She found it via Baking and Books (dot com) and you can find the full recipe right here. Be aware: the sauce/noodle ratio is all messed up. [...]
On Wednesday afternoon I was seized with a very, very strong urge to eat cheesecake. I am very rarely struck by such compulsions which is good because I also have very poor impulse control. This desire, however, would not be slaked by my telling myself to get over it. I required cheesecake. Not just any [...]
We ate brunch (I guess? The meal you eat when it’s far too wet to eat any kind of breakfast at one’s campsite and you must eat something somewhere or perish) at The Old Fish Factory in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia on Friday. I must admit to having some reservations about eating someplace whose name implies [...]
As children, we had a “cookbook” called “Kids in the Kitchen” which was produced to make kids feel great about eating the swill that kids normally eat. I have since become good friends with the “Model” from the pristine black and white cardstock photocopy cover (aka the only 8 year old in that church [...]
This weekend just past was 20’s weekend at Camp Omagh, between Milton and Oakville. Amy and I have served as cooks for the last few years for this annual event. In years past there has been a big themed dinner on Saturday night. This has included a down-home country dinner and a tropical-themed dinner. This [...]
Today was our co-op student’s last day in the office but since he left at 11:30, my boss took him and the rest of us out for lunch yesterday. We went to Real Sushi (or Real Shusi, if you’d prefer the name on the back of the waitstaff’s t-shirts). Amy and I have been going [...]
Amy sent me this link via email today and I shall now share it with you. http://wondermark.com/512/ She did me the honour of saying that I was slightly better than that. Not much but a little. During the summer between the end of OAC and the beginning of college, I was working for a temp agency [...]
The 20′s/30′s crew at Beamsville has made a habit of going out for dinner after service on Sunday nights. Usually some of us take it in turns to host everybody else but about one week of the month we go out to a local restaurant. This week we went to The Butcher and Banker on [...]
This is by no means a recent event. This took place many years ago. Before I was married. Before I became the culinary giant I am today. It was shortly after I moved out of my folks’ house. I decided one night to make chicken.
