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 [...]

We’ve been really fortunate this year to have met a lot of new, interesting friends. Through WellPreserved and through the path of life in general. I’ve long made a joke that one of my hobbies is ‘collecting people’. Meeting different people brings all kinds of new perspectives, experiences and flavours into our lives. Our idea [...]
Royal Winter Cows

The Royal Winter Fair came to Toronto a few weeks back – even Prince Charles flew into town for a quick appearance. Dana and I were the other Royalty that got to visit the fair. I don`t think I`ve gone to the fair before – if I did it was as a small child. I [...]
trash talking my city.

Let’s talk about trash. It’s a popular conversation right now in my city. Toronto is on day 24 of a city workers strike which includes garbage pickup and it’s getting messy. I know, I know…on a blog dedicated to food, the last thing you want to see is pictures of garbage. But I think it’s [...]

Dana and I both spent formative years in Markham (we were friends in high school though we became a couple almost 15 years after meeting). Her family has moved to Lindsay, mine has stayed in the place of my youth. We were visiting suburbia this weekend as a launching point to go to (and return [...]

Many of us have seen restaurants sans light on television – Ramsay showed one as an award and even our Rock of Love (Brett Michaels) brought some of his many dates to such an establishment. The restaurant in both of these shows was named Opaque (check out the Dining Room section on their website). A [...]

Couldn’t resist posting this video of the Strawberry Song, an homage to the fresh, in-season, local strawberry. Because it IS strawberry season and “Rye n’ Ginger” played it in ‘our’ backyard – also known as F’Coffee’s back patio – last night as part of Sounds like the Riverside, a night of live music at all [...]

This article is indeed about local food and a local group of farmers. The photo`s are local though not from those mentioned. We met Mark at a dinner featuring his food and did not have access to the whole product to snap some shots. That will change in the future… I feel so lucky for [...]
