Homemade Super Dog Food … aka Ben’s Breakfast

September 15, 2013 by Dale 27 Comments

If I have a finger for every love in my life, one is given to food and another one, likely an opposable thumb, is given to Ben, my dog. Together, those two loves have produced this recipe for homemade dog food which I have been feeding to my super/wonder-dog for years. For those new to…

My Cherished Canadian Recipe … My Grandma’s Soup

September 7, 2013 by Dale 14 Comments

My Grandma nourished me. When she passed away seven years ago, she left a hole in my world; and much like the hole left in Haida Gwaii’s Cathedral Forest when its giant Golden Spruce was tragically removed, a space nonetheless remains even while on its verges new growth finds space. I have survived, even thrived,…

My Grandma’s Hamburger Soup (De/Re-constructed)

September 6, 2013 by Dale 4 Comments

There is comfort food … and then there is food that loves. As you will read in my next post (tomorrow’s installment in the Canadian Food Experience Project), this is the most cherished Canadian recipe I know. It is a part of me, part of my family, part of my heart. Recreating this dish, however,…

The Shore Lunch … My First Authentic Canadian Food Experience

September 3, 2013 by Dale 3 Comments

A few weeks ago, I jumped into the Canadian Food Experience Project in medias res when I wrote about my Canadian Food Hero. Now, circling back to the beginning, I’m being challenged to write about an authentic Canadian food experience. I was a bit stumped by this challenge and I understand in retrospect why this is…

My Canadian Food Hero

August 7, 2013 by Dale 1 Comment

Valerie Lugonja began the Canadian Food Experience Project on June 7, 2013. Each month, participants share their collective stories across the vastness of our Canadian landscape through our regional food experiences. As I personally think Canadians do have a food identity, the hope of the project is that we will bring clarity to our Canadian…

We Become the Wind

July 26, 2013 by Dale 1 Comment

We grow and pulse A green algae bloom Of spandex tight Coalescing Undulating Stretching across Weightless Frames of carbon-fibre Gleaming Resin and aluminum Hands wrapped tight on mounts Heart-rate monitors Quicken with waiting breaths Tinted, eyes are compounded Glances everywhere Heads strapped by helm Bowed Praying for protection Strength Quads and hams Fill with blood…

My CSA Challenge – Share #2

July 13, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

If the number of recipes that emerged from week number one is any indication, the CSA Challenge – 2013 Edition is off to a great start. I’m feeling inspired and challenged and my tummy is happy. Pretty good metrics all round. Here’s fingers crossed and napkins tucked in hoping that week #2 is just as…

My CSA Challenge – 2013 Edition

July 7, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

For those of my readers that have been with me since last fall, you’ll recall that I I jumped into the world of Community Shared Agriculture (see my CSA Confession to learn more about CSA’s in general) and then embarked on a self-proclaimed “CSA Challenge” when I decided to blog about what I was doing…

The Transcendental Taste – the Foodgasm.

May 16, 2013 by Dale 5 Comments

Life is replete with the banal and the ubiquitous. Everyday has the risk of being routine as we slip from slumber and onto the hamster wheel that would otherwise propel us in circles. However, it is the moments in life where we break free of this predictability where, in an instant, in a moment, we…

Adjustments

April 30, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Chapter 3: Canadian Soil (continued from My Canadian Eyesight) I am not going to share pictures of this, but over my four years abroad, I had discovered a Bohemian that was living inside me … and I had the attire, the long hair (yes) and the beard to prove it. Honestly, in the moment, it…
