Around Kitchener and Waterloo cabbage and mushroom can be found locally grown all year. In the winter it is cabbage that was grown in the fall and has been stored. The rest of the year it’s totally way fresh. Either way, cabbage is a wonderful vegetable with many uses. We ate this as a … Continue reading
Things are getting better–I mean in terms of the arrival of summer. It was a long winter and spring has been quite full of cold, windy, dreary days (like winter in Atlanta…). Today however is beautiful! We went as a family to the Kitchener Market and found lots of wonderful things to add to our … Continue reading
June 3-9 These days the menu features lots of green items. It’s wonderful. It also would seem that there is some debate on the internet (and maybe beyond) as to whether it’s healthier to eat leafy greens raw or cooked. Since my 3-minute internet research session was inconclusive I’ll stick to just not worrying about … Continue reading
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.

April 22-28 We have several new recipes to try this week and once again most of them come from the Food & Wine cookbooks. Because my Young Assistant has swim lessons on Monday nights at 6pm he and his brother eat early and Madame and I have a quiet dinner together after they go to … Continue reading
At the beginning of the week I was planning on making the Formosan Fried Cabbage from More with Less but decided I wanted a little bit more “going on” with the recipe. My search for “cabbage and sausage” brought me to Canadian Living’s Braised Cabbage with Apples and Sausage. Then I searched for “braised cabbage” and wound up at a Jamie … Continue reading
I always feel a bit embarrassed referring to a meal as “Indian Night” because I know I am unqualified to cook it. I brought over a few of my parathas to my neighbors to try and felt like I needed to put air quotes around “Indian” when I told them that’s what we were having. … Continue reading
