Thursday, September 24, 2009. I Have a Disease So I Made Ricotta Gnocchi. Or hydrate the orange powder with white wine, plain yogourt, and pink peppercorns then toss in some baby zucchini, lightly fried in butter and garlic? Or in honour of his 250th birthday, simmer the noodles in a Guinness and then cover it in a blanket of Guinness Cheddar and stud the whole mess with tiny heirloom white currant tomatoes? Then I thought ‘Get over yourself! Are you TOO GOOD for an honest Kraft Macaroni and Cheese?

For their incusin line of purees. With the effervescent Chuck Hughes. See the pictures below, and make sure you bring a napkin to mop up the drool. I scoured the internet for how to make ice cream without an ice cream maker and it does take a bit of diligence. 1/2 cup heavy cream. 1/2 tsp unsalted butter. The po...

Thursday, July 30, 2009. Argentinean inspired spicy Sunday dinner. Ok so Kyle wanted Mexican, but then he said he wanted Chimichurri sauce, which I tried to explain to him was from Argentina. I then came to learn that it is a regionalization of the name Jimmy McCurry, an Irishman who invented the sauce in Argentina). Of sweet potato would hold their shape in a salad…. And Rocoto which is a pepper that I don’t think exists in this country. They say that necessity is the mother of inven...We also had cornm...

Thursday, August 13, 2009. Mom, Dad, and the Smoked Pork. My parents were in town last weekend. They’ve lived in Ontario since 1996 or 1997 (taking a 5 year break to live in Vancouver). They decided to come for a visit because we wouldn’t really have time to see them before the wedding so they came to us. (By the way, this Saturday, August 8th, it was 4 weeks until the big day.). The bigger adventure was the smoked pork the next night. That was excellent! There’s a giant cavern inside! Ok back on track, ...

Wednesday, March 17, 2010. Hazelnut Pasta - WOW so time consuming. I can't believe it's been a month and a half since I last posted. A lot has happened in the last 6 weeks. We went on our honeymoon!

For the sauce I combined 2 shallots, about 1/2 a container ...
