Today’s post was delayed for good reason – we were waiting to get the release to share the following two secrets we’ve been hoarding (one of them for months) and the approval came after I went to work. I know I’m a geek but I can’t find the words to say how excited I am [...]

Why Should I buy a Pressure Canner?

Maybe you shouldn’t. Then again, maybe you should. Yes, I am a Gemini – a very tired, punchy one at that. I’ll try to keep this post intelligible and somewhat comprehensible. We’ve been having a lot more conversations on Twitter and through our Facebook group lately. Part of that is due to a 2-week business [...]
A Table for One: Observations of Eating Alone in a Restaurant (Part 4)

Todays post will mark the final in this series (at least for now). We`ve looked into what you see, hear and taste differently as a result of dining for one. i thought this would be a good day to turn to wrapping together some form of conclusion. Before I do, let me share a story or [...]
A Table for One: Observations of Eating Alone in a Restaurant (Part 3)

Since we`ve examined the effect that dining on your own has on what you hear and what you see, today I want to examine my perspective on how it affects what you taste. It is an odd claim to think that taste can be effected by the lack of company you dine with. There are [...]

Business travel has its share of flaws – and its share of perks. For the most part it’s a world of extremes – you are often surrounded by people or off on your own, awake late at night or off to bed early, completely exhausted or completely invigorated. Changing paces is the constant flux of [...]

It`s been a long time since we`ve posted a recipe – especially one focussed on an economical meal. A good friend (the lovely Jesse) recently pointed our that she`d love to see a return of our Cheap Tuesday Gourmet series. Back then we shared about 25 recipe ideas that were considerably less than $5 a [...]

Another wonderful weekend. We`ve been noshing on leftovers from last week (Dana made a wonderful pasta and some asparagus soup made with our leftover asparagus ends from the pickled asparagus we made last weekend), connecting with more great food people and exploring our city. We even had a quiet date night with a slow dinner [...]
Molasses – a connection with my past (and a bone of contention in my present)
Posted in !!!Uncategorized, tagged Acadian, Cape Breton, Food, molasses, Molasses on bread, Molasses on toast, Nova Scotia, toast on July 4, 2009 | 5 Comments »
There are very few things that Dana and I argue about. Don’t read that as saying we agree on everything – there are lots of things we debate with passion and usually are discussing the same (or similar) thing from a different angle. We often compliment each others views rather than clone each other. “Often” [...]

Have you ever put down a menu to take a few minutes and look at what everyone else in the restaurant is eating? Have you been caught? I have no shame of checking out what other people are eating – it quite often influences what I end up ordering. I try not to make it [...]
This little piggy went to market…

What a bizarre day today! It was a rare day when I worked from home (the crunch of a deadline keeping my team running at 100 and most of us being locked behind a machine longer than any one person rightfully should on such a sunny day). Things were going well until the gunfire started. [...]
