One of the things I love about living on the coast is the access to all the seafood I could possibly eat, more or less for free. Spouse and his friends fish for trout and salmon, so our freezer is always stocked with whole and smoked pink fish; if we feel like clams, it's not a long trip … [Read more...]
My First Time
I don't know what I was waiting for. Maybe I was afraid I wouldn't like it? Maybe I was afraid I wouldn't do it right? Would it satisfy my husband? Would it disappoint him? I decided to go for it. I'd waited long enough and I decided tonight was the night. I cooked salmon for the first time … [Read more...]
About the Jerk
I was first introduced to the Jerk on my first trip to Jamaica. It was an awakening of my tastebuds that I fell in love with instantaneously. Any Jamaican will tell you the history of the jerk. Traditionally, Jerk was meant to help preserve fresh meats longer but over the course of time it's become … [Read more...]
A Sip and a Sigh.
The smell of canola isn't strong, but it is distinct, and there it was wafting on the wind on the breezy Saturday we found ourselves at Georgian Hills Vineyards. It was one of many bits of idyll in that magical place, where for the few hours we were there I found myself relaxing, watching the clouds … [Read more...]
It’s Like Water, But Better. It’s Sink-cola.
As a kid, when I asked my parents what we had to drink with dinner, more often than not, they replied with, "Sink-cola." Get it? Sink-cola. In other words, water. At the time, I was more than annoyed by this response, but in retrospect it was the right thing to do. To this day, I still mainly … [Read more...]
Summer Harvest
Look what I found in my garden today! My absolute favourite part of summer, I swear. The smell and taste of raspberries is full of emotion for me, it instantly transports me back to my grandparents' house, where raspberries filled ice cream pails almost daily, were eaten fresh by the fistful, made … [Read more...]
Never Underestimate the Power of Crack Pie
There is an obsession with Toronto and food. We LOVE eating out and what's not to love? There's every imaginable cuisine available. We were excited (seriously excited) when the Ramen craze started a few years back and then Momofuku opened up and we went over the moon. The sister restaurants, Daisho, … [Read more...]
The Blue Mountains-Apple Pie Trail
Do not let the title fool you; there is more than just apple pie and more than just one trail on the Apple Pie Trail. In fact there are at least six different mini trails in the area surrounding Blue Mountain that make up the Apple Pie Trail, including trails in Collingwood, Beaver Valley, Meaford, … [Read more...]
Night Markets You Won’t Want to Miss!
Summers are so amazing in the city! Toronto is that kind of city where you can hop on public transit and spend a few hours exploring different cultures and feel like you've been transplanted to somewhere away from the concrete jungle. While the days can get pretty steamy, we're pretty open about … [Read more...]
Every Lunch Hour I Go On A Guilt Trip
I'm the kind of guy that eats a lot of the same thing day in and day out. A few years ago when I was trying to lose weight I ate a quarter chicken with salad (balsamic vinaigrette on the side) for 4 straights months. Turned out it worked. I lost around 18 pounds. I credit my OCD and bland palate to … [Read more...]
