One of the wonderful things about when my parents visited was coming to Roncesvalles to show them our neighbourhood-to-be. We hadn’t moved in yet, but we could show (from the outside) our new place, and walk up and down the great stretch of shops and restaurants. With the idea of getting dinner at the end [...]

eating our way through asia
So as you may be able to imagine (or tell from our photos), one of the things rIAm and I are focused on during our travels is food. And perhaps we’ve talked about food a bit on this site; we’ve definitely shown photos and made commentary on flickr. But when we had a question come [...]
flaming wok
That was one hot wok! This is why stir fries and other dishes made in a wok just aren’t as good when made at home in North America – they just can’t get hot enough! The BTUs of the gas stoves are too low, unless you get one special. But here, no problem! We [...]

Generally it’s near (or near enough) to work and we have a group of oft-used places, which are tasty, but no longer inspired choices. So I try to think different; we have a pretty adventurous [...]

All You Need is Food
“Eating in Chicago is almost painful: to choose one superb restaurant is to reject a dozen others.” So goes this article in the NYT. So true. Which means that in writing the article, Jonathan Hayes rejected others deserving mention.
Where is Rick Bayless and his gems Frontera Grill/Topolobampo? Well, okay, those are the only ones I’m [...]
Basil Carrots
The first of what I hope is many recipes to come…
~Carrots, peeled, cut into thin sticks (to your liking, thinner = less cook time)
~Basil to taste (rough chop the fresh variety)
~Butter (be generous)
Enclose it all in an aluminum foil pouch and put it on the grill or in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until [...]
