A simple meal this evening – a 3-jar meal (meaning we used 3 full jars of preserves to make it). The ‘feature’ was 2 rather large sardines we picked up from Hooked this afternoon. They weighed about a quarter pound each and were delightfully freshly flown in from British Columbia. Sardines are simple to cook [...]

I couldn’t wait for summer to use our new Harsch Gartopf Crock pot and naturally ferment something. So we turned to what we could get locally and ended up with a 6-pound bowl of carrots: If you think they look a little suspect – I did cheat with the slicing blade of the food processor. [...]

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 [...]

It’s Joel’s birthday on Sunday, there is definitely going to be some getting together with family and friends for food and drink over the weekend.

My Mother (aka Me Mum) is from Nova Scotia. Long cold winters gave way to wet cold springs. Wet cold springs gave themselves to the spring bounty and wild Fiddleheads are a spring tradition of the east coast (and increasingly around the world). These lovely creatures (who got their name after the scroll of a [...]

Lots of food to be had – [...]

I am very uncomfortable posting the following clip (there is nothing gruesome to see) – uncomfortable because of how much I enjoy eating, cooking and consuming meat. I am not a vegetarian and will not stop eating red meat (I already tried that for 5 years). I am posting it because I think it is [...]
