Clippings: December 8, 2011
The internet is a great source for all things foodie, and we’re constantly bookmarking, starring, and emailing intriguing recipes, food porn, and inspiration. Here’s a selection of clippings we think are worth checking out. Salty honey pie. You had me at salt. More salty-sweet goodness: chocolate chip bars with a pretzel crust. When I think...
Clippings: October 13, 2011
The internet is a great source for all things foodie, and we’re constantly bookmarking, starring, and emailing intriguing recipes, food porn, and inspiration. Here’s a selection of clippings we think are worth checking out. Um. Braised french onion chicken with gruyere. Enough said. It’s as good a time as any to start using up...
Solo Suppers Beyond Cereal: Chicken and leek pot pie
Chicken leftovers #3. I know that this is one horribly overdue post. I mean, this dinner was from my Christmas holidays. I’m sorry. It’s just that every time I thought about this meal, I got really hungry. You see, this was the best of my chicken leftover dinners. By a long shot. I was the...
Solo Suppers Beyond Cereal: Faux pho ga
Chicken leftovers #2. Few things warm you up the way a bowl of chicken noodle soup does on a winter’s night. So, with leftover chicken, time and a craving for the sense of being in hot, sticky Ho Chi Minh City (instead of cold, clammy Vancouver) on my side, pho ga it would be. Yes,...
Solo Suppers Beyond Cereal: Cilantro-jalapeno chicken sandwich
Chicken leftovers #1. I resisted for a long time, but now I freely admit to enjoying Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. I still can’t stand Guy Fieri, his overuse of stupid phrases, his flip-flop jokes and the constant trips back to the mid-90s. The endless shots of too much are often too much, but I can’t...
I popped my chicken cherry.
That’s her. Slightly mangled from my prodding and turning and perhaps not as brown as I would have hoped, but that’s her. My first roast chicken. A Christmas holidays project that fed me five nights and gave me a ton of flavourful stock. It should come as no surprise to regular readers that I was...

Across the Ocean for a Salad
For those of you who know me, I apologize that since vacationing in Vietnam, the only post I’ve done about it concerns fruit. Amazing fruit, mind you, but fruit nonetheless. Every time I think about doing a post, I start to miss being there. And as Edmonton’s winter still seems to be leaving its trace,...

Ka-Pow in the Krapow
I am always in the mood for Thai food. Edmonton has a number of very good Thai places to choose from, and I have two or three in particular that I would never turn down an invite to. But, as I’ve had the pleasure of preparing and tasting some Thai recipes made on a home...

Improper Sunday Lunch
The ease with which we tend to take Sundays—the day of rest—often means dinners that can take time and involve the word “slow.” But, the phenomenon of a Lazy Sunday also exists. And it exists a lot in my life. So, a post about a lazy meal on a lazy Sunday is going to be...
