Get your foodie on!
It has been said before that the best food relies upon the simplicity of allowing good ingredients to speak for themselves. We’ve all seen the pretentious magazine recipes that have a half a page of ingredients. All too often, those recipes include ingredients like ground Tibetan turnip seed, only available at one market in Kathmandu. [...]
We all have them, the friends/family who drop in unannounced “just to catch up”. No matter that you are shuttling kids to and fro or are in the midst of a reno, or maybe even a round of coitus, they just drop by. As a gracious host, you would never tell them to eff off. [...]
While on a Chevy press launch last week, I had the pleasure of visiting a place that I think was called Restaurant D’Isle. I say I think, as that is what I was told it was called, but I can’t find any info on it through The Google. It wasn’t your usual hoity toity (sp?) [...]
I’ve been more than a little bit bored with your regular mustard and relish type condiments on my burger these last few months, which has led me to try out some new things. Last Summer I started using store bought corn relish. Tired even of that, I decided to step it up a notch with [...]
It was such a nice, sunny and fresh Fall day today that we decided to venture over to the Oshawa Center Farmer’s Market for a bit with the dog and the camera. The market was vibrant as always, with vendors just bursting with the late Summer harvest. We picked up a nice basket of Niagara [...]

Unfortunately, we’ve all had some bad dining experiences on occasion. The folks at Food & Wine have put together a list of 5 key indicators that you might want to rethink your choice of dinner spots. 1. There’s more than one cocktail ending in “-tini.” While it might be fun to create silly drinks at [...]
We had a big, long weekend family BBQ last night and there was a special request for some of our infamous sliders. As we had a pretty full menu of ribs and chicken on the go, we decided to put out some sliders as apps. We put together some of the Cabernet variety and while [...]
Yes, I saw this and giggled like a 12 year old boy. Or like a forty something man. Same difference I suppose. Either way, it brightened my Saturday morning. Nutritionist Meghan Telpner has created “My Nut Sack” for milking nuts. That’s right, you put your nuts in the sack, get them wet and then squeeze [...]
I’ve never been a dark meat sort of guy when it comes to my poultry, but a while back I got a great deal on a package of chicken thighs and made some sort of roasted dish that the kids loved. Figuring that you can’t knock a good thing, I decided to play around with [...]
