Thinking about going vegan.... 01/27/2011
0 Comments
 
For either the first two meals of the day during the work week, or dinner four days a week.  I just ordered Mark Bittman's book - and I'm hoping it will inspire me.  The thing is, we participate in a CSF, as well a meat CSA which provide us with sustainably raised/caught meat and fish.  I feel very little guilt when it comes to where my food comes from, I just think it would be a great exercise in cooking/eating.

The issue is the work I do is all things food, and it's very hard to sustain any sort of diet when you are either constantly eating, or constantly cooking. 

That being said, I need to go on a diet of some sort.

Cheese. 12/08/2009

Right now I'm in the middle of writing a post for the Formaggio Kitchen blog about these three pieces of cheese, can anyone tell what the difference is between them?

delicous cheese.
I've also been writing recipes for Create A Cook where I'm currently teaching.  I was surprised at how much I enjoy writing recipes.  It makes me want to see if there are more opportunities out there for me in that field. 

Dinner tonight is going to be a simple fish stew - we'll see if that recipe makes it up here.

Getting on with it. 10/13/2009

My time for the past few weeks has been occupied with finding a job, which I think I've done.  I'm really excited because it's the job I was really coveting.  I'll put a link up here when all the details get straightened out.

I've also been up to my eyeballs with bureaucratic crap.  Both immigration-wise and life in general.  Balls. 

Not much else to report.  Excited to spend this American Thanksgiving in Anguilla (seeing both my partner's family and my Mum and Uncle).  Haven't been able to visit down there in awhile, and the last time I was there was for more solemn circumstances.

Life's moving on in general.  Looking forward to getting on with it.

Sad news. 10/01/2009

I spent the better part of last week in Toronto, my Omi passed away late Monday night.  She was a very important part of my life, and much of the person I am today is because of her.

As luck would have it I was in Toronto the week before because of a surgery that didn't actually happen.  It was really fortunate that I got to spend some time with her before she passed.

Neat lady, great cook.  I'm going to miss her a lot.
