La Guardians

April 26, 2017 by Dale Leave a Comment

Sun dried peppers in Laguardia

Captain’s Log: Day 3 on Iberian Peninsula surveying Alavesa vista vital atop rocky hill La Guardians seem afraid of valley below — warding off invading warriors with strings of red phallic fruit theirs is bigger than theirs paprika dusted on the breeze hotter than sun-seared cobblestones warriors of the lowlands seem to have an antidote…

CSA Adventures … Mystery #6

September 24, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

From green, to red, from orange to yellow, the colours of the garden are breathtaking, like a dissected fall foliage that you can eat. How great is that? However, it would seem the mysteries of the CSA are getting better — and tougher? — or someone has disconnected my mic. “Hello … is this thing…

CSA Adventures … Mystery #5

September 10, 2014 by Dale 3 Comments

Some mysteries are supposed to be tough — so here’s one to challenge all your ardent veggie lovers out there. “Who Am I?” And no, “I am not a misshapen pumpkin… but I am a gorgeous colour inside.” That’s your only hint, ok? Answer to be revealed on Saturday … if not before, should one…

CSA Adventures … Mystery #4

August 27, 2014 by Dale 4 Comments

So this adventure series hasn’t turned out exactly as I was expecting — though I guess that is the whole point of any adventure. My let down is that it just hasn’t felt that adventurous, at least to me — but can I really complain that I’m eating delicious veggies, regardless whether they contain new…

CSA Adventures … Mystery #3

July 30, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

So the next lesson in mysteries is that sometimes you have to look outside your borders to find adventure …. My challenge in maintaining this even into the third installment of the series is that I didn’t find much a mystery in my CSA share this past go-round. Most of the usual suspects emerged in…

CSA Adventures … Mystery #2

July 15, 2014 by Dale 6 Comments

Not every adventure needs to lead down a new path. In the inaugural mystery, “we” got to play with Hakurei turnips. That was a yummy adventure indeed. Next up is something that may not be as much of a mystery to many of you, but it will surely be new to many more. While it…

All Things Home ~ All Things Ottawa

March 7, 2014 by Dale 5 Comments

We are so much defined by place that we define the place we live by naming it … home. And if “home” is only where you’re born, then I guess I offer this observation as person who has been homeless more years than at home. The irony is that in having lived so many places,…

My Canadian Love Affair

February 7, 2014 by Dale 6 Comments

Food is an extension of my heart. It is not only a part of my physical being, it is how I celebrate and express love. I’ve been in love with food for a very long time. And, for almost as long, I’ve been an incurable romantic. It seems fitting, then, that my personal passion for…

Triple-Ginger Gingersnaps

January 5, 2014 by Dale 2 Comments

Triple Gingersnaps

Gingersnaps … for ginger fools™. One of my grandmother’s legacies to me is a love everything ginger. Ever since I was a child, I would eat anything ginger that she pressed into my hands: ginger marmalade, candies, crystalized ginger, chocolate covered ginger … and gingersnaps. I ate it all … I adored it all. And…
