This post is less about New York than it is about some of the urban “gardens” we found. All were accessible from the street and there were more than we’re sharing here. The gardens ranged from large pots to 90-gallon potato drums, decorated tires and complex shelf-like systems (all pictured below). I love the ingenuity [...]

Now that’s a beer store – Bierkraft (Brooklyn, New York)
Posted in New York on April 29, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
At the risk of sounding redundant, I must again state that the U.S. is kicking Canada’s butt when it comes to beer culture. Part of the reason is their sheer size (with almost 10 times the population there are simply more consumers) and they have many legislative and importing liberties than we do (Ontario, in [...]
Chelsea Market – New York City
Posted in New York, tagged CHELSEA MARKET, NEW YORK CITY on April 28, 2010 | 2 Comments »
We had an amazing trip to New York City last week. 8 days where we walked 12-18 hours per day and ate and drank our way Brooklyn and Manhattan. It`s going to take restraint NOT to fill the blog with photos for the next month but we will certainly share some of the amazing food [...]
Cheap Tuesday Gourmet – Traveller’s Picnic
Posted in Budget, Dinner Ideas, tagged cheap tuesday gourmet on April 27, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
We just got back from New York City – 8 amazing days where we walked, ate and sampled beverages. Our typical day consisted of 12-18 hours of walking with two meals and a lot of great conversation thrown in. We spent just over half our trip in Brooklyn, shopped at about 8 stores in total [...]
The Great Hot Pepper Lexicon – The Heavyweights
Posted in Special Series, tagged WellPreservedLovesHotPeppers on April 26, 2010 | 1 Comment »
These are not for the faint of heart. Although they can be used for many things, I tend to use the hottest peppers to make hot sauces with (the Chipotle is a great `bridge`between middle and heavy weight and makes an equally good rub as it does a hot sauce). Don`t be scared by the [...]
The Great Hot Pepper Lexicon – The Middleweights
Posted in Special Series, tagged WellPreservedLovesHotPeppers on April 25, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
We`re graduating from entry-level heat to some attention-grabbing contenders here. There`s still a wide range of flavours here – from fruity to smoky. My default use for mid-ranged heat tends to be in dry rubs as they pack a lot of flavour without dominating (my) taste buds. Pulla (Puya) 5,000 – 15,000 Related to the [...]
The Great Hot Pepper Lexicon – The Lightweights
Posted in Special Series, tagged WellPreservedLovesHotPeppers on April 24, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
For the next 3 days we are going to feature a total of 9 different `hot`peppers – they will be sorted in order of heat (from lowest to highest). I have included approximate Scoville units as well as the price I paid per pound if I have it (I paid less than $13 for 12 [...]
Farmers Market Hot Stuff
Posted in Special Series, tagged WellPreservedLovesHotPeppers on April 23, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Back to the hot stuff series today. Hot sauce is a great find when travelling – across the world or across your city. Hot sauce is appearing at more and more farmers markets in Toronto (especially in the winter) as it`s a product that easily stores through the winter months that local farmers may struggle [...]
Can Jam – In the Herb of Time – Infused Vinegar
Posted in Infusing on April 22, 2010 | 7 Comments »
Time for a brief break from the hot stuff series this week – the year-long can jam continues and this is the week our posts are due. This month’s mystery ingredient was herbs. We also were served up with a whole basket of `not enough time` so we had to make a small, practical batch [...]
Chile Powder and Chile Flakes
Posted in Special Series, tagged WellPreservedLovesHotPeppers on April 21, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I grew up with one of these: I remember trying to show off at a Little Caesars to my Aunt. It was All-You-Could-Eat spaghetti night. She couldn`t believe the amount of pasta I could eat – or the amount of hot peppers that I would put on it. I kept eating more, adding hot peppers. [...]
