When the temperature dips, I go into hibernation mode. If I could not leave the house until May, I would. It’s definitely a time when I cook at home more, and roasting is one of my favourite things to do. As they say, you just set it and forget it.
Tonight, I attended a thing called a Slideluck Potshow. When I got the invitation from Connie, I had no idea what to expect. Basically, it’s a blend of community, eating and photographic art. Attendees participate by bringing something to the table, literally.
When I got the invitation to Thanksgiving supper at my friend Glenn’s place, I fully expected this post to be about the usual turkey and sides. That was before the consumption of wine, a chocolate fountain, and a diabolical suggestion from Miss A. That’s when things got crazy.
Have you heard about the miracle berry? I hadn’t until I got the invite to the latest edition of Foodie Meet that happened on Sunday. A fruit that claims to alter your taste buds so that sour and bitter foods taste sweeter and mellower? Scary! Sign me up!
I had a very pleasant surprise on Friday. Near the end of what was shaping up to be an extra long work day, our friend Vicki called Alanna to let us know she was in town for a meeting. The perfect excuse to leave on time! Neither A or I had the brain capacity to pick somewhere to meet, so on Nico’s suggestion, we decided to go to Sidecar.
