Madame and I have always loved Eggplant Parmesan. Our first experience making it was with the recipe from The New Moosewood Cookbook by Mollie Katzen, which is a great vegetarian resource! The way I remember it is that she was pregnant with our first and approaching her due date. We had been told about how eggplant […]
A guest spot, awesome! I have always considered myself to be an adequate cook–not great, not awful. Observing my three now grown children, I am both surprised and pleased to discover that they have become interesting and creative cooks. Who knew?! Was it lurking somewhere in their subconscious or have their spouses inspired them?? They […]
I know that last week’s seedling update was not good. It was also somewhat dramatic. I’ll keep today’s update simple; as stated in the title, “All is Well.” And even though we had nothing to do with planting them, there are a few lovely flowers to enjoy right now. The seedlings are still acclimating which […]
This post looks at Bailey’s Local Foods, a local online farmer’s market serving the Waterloo Region (which includes Kitchener!). I had the chance to sit down with the founder, Nina, a few weeks ago and one of the current owners, Rachael, a little while after. It was great talking with both of them about the […]
May 6-12 Spring is beginning to arrive at the market and that is good. It also is beginning to arrive in my backyard where I’ve been able to harvest small amounts of leaves from various young plants—dandelions, mustard, spinach, kale, and lettuce. So this is good. However, asparagus hasn’t come yet (Friday we will get […]
Chatelaine Magazine has a new weekly contest called “Cooking Club” in which they post a recipe and people make it and then share their pics of the finished product. I am very glad I participated this week because the cookies are AMAZING. Madame, two of her colleagues, and my friends next door all agreed! […]
Thursday started off normal. Well, it started off normal but a little bit windy. My Assistants and I rode (aka I rode and they sat in their chariot behind me) to the Early Years Centre. After a nice morning there we headed on towards Uptown Waterloo to meet up with Madame for some coffee and […]
My contribution this week for 100 Mile Monday is a fairly light meal—salad and rolls! But the salad is not such a light salad, as it has lentils, beets, cabbage, blue and cheddar cheese, and… bacon! And the rolls are actually whole wheat popovers (or according to our friends, “Yorkshire Pudding”). Enjoy this meal by […]
29 de Abril- 5 de Mayo Spring? Maybe it has arrived. We feel it a little bit more each day. In terms of planning our menu for the week Cinco de Mayo should be an obvious meal choice (if it’s not obvious, it’s going to Mexican!). However, I will still do my best to utilize […]
Totally amazing video of One Year in the Garden. This video definitely conveys what we know is happening and can feel but are unable to actually see with our own eyes!
