A version of this post appeared on The Chocoholic's Buffet Recipe Share. There are very few people in the world who don’t like chocolate ice cream, I am sure. Certainly there’s nobody like that in my family. I have to say, though, that I don’t like what I see on the labels of most commercial … Continue reading Chocolate Ice Cream Bliss

Fantastic Forest Foraging with Savour Winnipeg
Last September I had the pleasure of partaking in a forage expedition with Savour Winnipeg, in conjunction with outdoor educator Barret Miller of FortWhyte Alive. In honour of their new season, here are some pictures and reminiscences. While most of the forage experiences take place in the Assiniboine Forest, the season's grand finale is at … Continue reading Fantastic Forest Foraging with Savour Winnipeg
Dreaming of Fruit
It’s the Winter That Wouldn’t Die. Below-normal temperatures, piles of snow everywhere. Talk of a big flood, again. But I’m dreaming of summer’s fruit. The apple trees in my yard are still bare, still holding on to last year’s apples that didn’t get picked. I’m sure the birds who stayed here through the winter appreciated … Continue reading Dreaming of Fruit
#blogExodus – Being
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that I'm posting this on the first day of Chol Hamo'ed instead of on the eve of the holiday, as planned. There was no computer time on Monday. My Seders were wonderful, full of love and laughter and learning and good food. My children are now old enough to … Continue reading #blogExodus – Being
A Paleo Passover – and I’m on a Jimmy Moore podcast!!
OK, so Pesach didn't exist in Paleolithic times. Our ancestors were shepherds, with agriculture thrown in once they settled down. But the fact remains, they didn't eat processed food. They baked their own matzah and they didn't attempt to game the system by making fake substitutes for their everyday food. I was hanging out on … Continue reading A Paleo Passover – and I’m on a Jimmy Moore podcast!!
#blogExodus – Learning
Passover, as such, is not particularly associated with learning. The next Pilgrimage Holiday in the calendar, Shavu'ot, commemorates the giving of the Torah and is celebrated by learning, traditionally all night. But on Passover we are primarily occupied with doing and telling, not so much by learning. Still, there is no question that a lot … Continue reading #blogExodus – Learning
Restaurant Review – Lobby on York
I have the (mis-)fortune of having been born on Valentine's Day. Not only did this very nearly get me named Valentina (although my mother assured me that possibility was entirely in my father's mind), but it means I can never go out for dinner on my birthday, at least not if I want good food … Continue reading Restaurant Review – Lobby on York
Durian and Hearsay
I know a guy here in Winnipeg who likes to tweet about food (among other things). I've been trying to get him to join the Manitoba Food Bloggers, but he says he's not that social. He does send out the most mouth-watering tweets ... maybe one day we'll get him to post recipes and stuff.Anyway, … Continue reading Durian and Hearsay
Why Blogging About Food in Manitoba is Really Cool
Chef Michael Shafer demonstrates Sometimes you just have to step out in faith and ask to play with the big kids. I have recently joined a FaceBook group called Manitoba Food Bloggers. I'm fortunate to be in a group there with people like Shel Zolkewich, Rebecca Hadfield, Ron Cantiveros and other luminaries of the Manitoba … Continue reading Why Blogging About Food in Manitoba is Really Cool
