Don’t Ham It Up on Valentine’s Day

I’m not much of a believer in Hallmark occasions–like today–Valentine’s Day. I am one of those people who is likely to forget the actual day on the day–but I do remember it–eventually. For example, I remember my neice and nephew’s birthdays–usually a few months either before or after the actual birthday, but I do remember …

Hermaphrodite Moose Soup

We had moose soup for lunch yesterday. It was a soup my parents had made so I don’t quite know the recipe–except I do know about the moose. It turns out that the last time my Dad went moose hunting, he shot a hermaphrodite moose. It looked like a bull moose with horns and everything–so …

Christmas gifts

I spent all day yesterday making Christmas gifts. Mainly, I made Quebec-Martin’s famous Mango-Cranberry Chutney. My idea was to make small jars of preserves for gifts. I bought the jars, but I didn’t have the faintest clue how to make the preserves so I phoned my Dad for advice. Here is what he said: Boil …

Cranberry-Raspberry Delight

This is one of my favourite Thanksgiving recipes (ahem–Canadian readers–`tis Thanksgiving here in the States). We were invited for our first Thanksgiving in the States to a friend and colleague’s house in San Francisco. I loved every minute of it. Mainly because Thanksgiving is such a traditional holiday here and my friend was a very …

Morning Coffee

I make my coffee on the stove top. My friend from university (Ann) married a fellow from Croatia and they now live in Whitehorse, Yukon. Ante (Ann’s husband) taught me how to make this coffee. I think, however, it’s all in the routine of making the coffee and drinking it that makes it so pleasurable. …

Smoked Trout Salad

I had dinner with my friend KatieBird the other day. We were talking about cooking and eating and food in general (one of my favourite topics–of course!). She mentioned that her husband likes variety–trying something new all the time. She said she’s completely happy plugging along eating the same thing–well–because it works. I said I …

Tomato, Mozzarella Ball, and Basil Salad

This posting is for my sister Nat. She’s been asking me for this recipe ever since she visited in early May. My cousin Nik sent me a recipe chain pyramid thing to which I haven’t replied yet either, but I plan to. Margaret (a former colleague) once made this salad for one of those potluck …

Peanut Butter and Cucumber on Toast

Over ten years ago, my friend Vicky told me about peanut butter and cucumber sandwiches. I thought, Yuck! Peanut butter and cucumber? Disgusting. Last summer, I accidentally tried the combination though. I was having peanut butter on toast for breakfast. I was also making a salad for my lunch. I guess I used the same …

French Tuna, Tomato, and Corn Salad

My aunt and my sisters have been visiting me in California. We had an awesome time! Mainly though, we ate. We ate. We drank. Then we ate some more. My sister asked me for the salad recipes I made. I said I would post them on my blog. So–ben, voila!–here is one: One head of …
