Balcony Garden – Update

On July 20, 2011 · 7 Comments

The balcony garden (for the most part) continues to flourish!

I have strawberries!  Granted, not enough to do anything with but snack, but still, strawberries! The first one that I ate was on the watery side but subsequent berries have been really sweet and pretty divine.

On The Town: London – Part 2

On June 24, 2011 · 8 Comments

Here is the conclusion of what I ate in London. Check out Part 1 here!

And on a side note, pretty much the whole trip I had this one line from Wyclef’s “Where My Fugees At?” stuck in my head.  The lyric: Some MCs in the underground, mad at me [...]

On The Town: London – Part 1

On June 22, 2011 · 7 Comments

I recently was fortunate enough to spend five days in London (England, not Ontario).  I visited London about 7 or 8 years ago while studying abroad in France but seeing as I was in broke student mode I didn’t get a chance to do London to its fullest.

My Balcony Garden

On June 20, 2011 · 9 Comments

I’ve always been an apartment-dweller so I’ve never had a backyard. Oh, but don’t cry for me Argentina!  I’ve never really cared that much, that’s what parks are for.  In recent years, as I’ve become more into food and understanding where it comes from, I’ve wanted my own gardening space.  For [...]

On June 14, 2011 · 10 Comments

When I first set out to do Charcutepalooza one of the things I was most looking forward to doing was making sausage. Making sausage just seemed so… hardcore. I mean you need a grinder, a sausage stuffer, all kinds of meat [...]

Oprah’s Moscow Mule and Musings

On May 26, 2011 · 3 Comments

It’s not often that I write about things other than food.  Sure, I’ll occasionally write about my travels but usually from the lens of food, but that’s usually about it.  With the ending of the Oprah Winfrey Show I felt the need to blog about it so of course I found [...]

The Home-Ground Bacony Brisket Burger

On April 21, 2011 · 5 Comments

A few months ago I bought the Food Grinder attachment for my KitchenAid Stand Mixer. Ever since I bought it, the grinder has been sitting in its box tucked away into the corner. I bought it because I have visions of making my own sausages. Since we haven’t reached that [...]

Homemade Mustard

On March 7, 2011 · 11 Comments

The other day I got this wacky idea about making my own mustard.  I’m not sure what it is these days but I’ve increasingly been having the urge to make more things that I can buy at the supermarket.  I mean really, do I need to make my own mustard?  Not [...]

Happy New Year!

So for the past two years I’ve blogged about my food-related goals here and here. I find it to be a fun exercise and a nice way to try and keep myself accountable throughout the year.  It’s always fun for me when I revisit my goals [...]
