Cream of Mushroom Soup

On February 13, 2011 · 5 Comments

Growing up I wasn’t picky about food but I knew what I liked and what I didn’t like.  While other kids were eating Chef Boyardee and Spaghetti-Os I just couldn’t do it.  Similarly I could never get excited over canned soups.  One of the few canned soups I would eat (and [...]

The other day I had the most unexpected and fun food weekend. For our July book club we decided to head out to my friend Robin’s cottage in Norfolk County, ON for the weekend.  While the weekend was more of a book club weekend to read the book in proximity to one another (except for [...]

Quiche

On January 18, 2008 · 1 Comment

For reasons unknown I grew up eating quiche. It’s not something my mom would ever make from scratch, not something I remember eating in restaurants, but a large part of my childhood was spent eating quiche. I vaguely remember eating frozen mini-quiches by Schneiders… but who knows where that comes from.

Sauteed Mushrooms with Polenta

On January 12, 2008 · 2 Comments

Sometimes you just want something totally simple that warms your heart. This pretty much does it for me! A few years ago (and by a few I’m thinking at least 4 years ago) I was on Dean’s Colloquium trip to Italy where we went to Venice, Verona and I [...]
