Sometimes in restaurants I’ll discretely take a photo of my food — I’ve moved beyond the weirdness of it – I like to fool myself into thinking that curious observers ...

Pulled Pork & Aged Cheddar Panini

Pulled Pork & Aged Cheddar Panini

In my last post I made pulled pork… 6lbs of it.  Naturally there were some delicious leftovers, which have so kindly brought me to this posting and one of my favourite things: sandwiches (or ‘sangs’ if I may). Sometimes the key to good things is simplicity (not applicable to mole sauce) and so I just [...]

High on the hill is a lonely goatherd…

Hello! Fellow eaters, for me breakfast is where it’s at — the most important meal of the day (yada yada) and so tasty I could eat it all day (but I suppose you can’t – once the fast is broken, I have to move along to ‘snacking’ or ‘lunch’, sigh). I don’t know when I [...]

Pulled Pork Burgers

– Disclaimer: You’re gunna need 7 hours of cook time for this, so hold on to your panties – So I had to go look up the definition of burger… cause pulled pork burger sounds a bit funny… it just doesn’t quite have a ring to it.  Actually, to be honest, I’m not even sure [...]

Green Curry. Make it so.

Sticky-delicious Coffee Cake

 Dingaling! Dingaling … it’s that time of year again! I am really enjoying the crisper temperatures and trying on different scarves and hats from my bottomless drawer in the hallway. I have also taken up knitting again and just finished knitting a Christmas stocking for my niece who is having her very first seasonal experience [...]

Marmot bars

The definition of “marmot” is a “heavily built, gregarious, burrowing rodent… typically living in mountainous country”. These granola bars are fine eating for marmots, but they are named after the exuberant team of friends who play softball in the summers and call themselves the ‘marmots’. They are loaded with things to last you a while, [...]

Hubbub Style Asian Infused Slaw

Coleslaw is underrated. Probably because most of the time it’s gross and should be underrated (you know what I’m talking about — the overly creamy slaw where you occasionally see something green… or orange… but mostly it’s just white mayonnaise?)  That being said, I’ve been having a lot of good coleslaw around town – one [...]

Cooked Crab Legs

Dungeness Crab & Garlic Butter. That is all.

Living on the west coast of Canada means that seafood is always an option when making a delicious dinner.  Recently we were in Tofino (I love Tofino) and we thought what better place to cook fresh seafood… my favourite being dungeness crab. They find some big crabs around that area and the best thing about [...]
