Innovative and Community Minded — The Best of Beau’s

January 27, 2014 by Dale 2 Comments

Innovative ♦ Community Minded ♦ Environmentally Sustainable …. and just plain great. Over the holidays I purchased a “mix pack” containing four different bottles of beers representing “The Best of Beau’s” Brewing Company in 2013, a local company I can’t say enough good things about. I love the “buy-local” movement. I love local foods, craftsman,…

An Anniversary in Blogging

November 11, 2013 by Dale 7 Comments

Today is the one year anniversary of EatsWritesShoots. Thank you all for making this the best year of my life. A year is a long time. Much can be done in a year. But it is a long time to be doing anything. When I began this blog a year ago, I had no real…

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…

Le festibière d’hiver … the Winter BeerFest

February 4, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

So, a week late isn’t too late, right? As you may have recalled from a few posts leading up to it, January 24-26 was Le festibière d’hiver … the Winter BeerFest. This was Gatineau’s follow up to their inaugaral winter event a year ago which I didn’t find out about until too late. This year,…

The Evil Garlic Press

November 29, 2012 by Dale 1 Comment

Imagine Freddy Krueger with rusty garden rakes for fingers instead of razor sharp blades. Better yet, think of his wrists ending in old-fashioned meat grinders. He approaches you menacingly as you stand there perplexed wondering how he’s going to do you in with these useless tools attached to his arms, daring you to put your…

My CSA Challenge

November 14, 2012 by Dale 2 Comments

From dizzying back to the future ride of the last post, we go back to the future-past: aka the Prequel. This post promises to be sweet … or forecast the sweet experiments that will follow in my CSA Challenge. Alas, after work yesterday, I picked up my last CSA share for the season (small tears…

My CSA Confession

November 14, 2012 by Dale 3 Comments

From backstory, I turn to prequel — so for those easily prone to nausea induced by sudden turns, I apologise. But before the prequel, more of the backstory … I mentioned in my last post my introduction to Community Shared Agriculture (CSA). I’ve also heard previous mention of the ‘S’ standing for “Supported” which I…

So it begins …

November 11, 2012 by Dale Leave a Comment

For me, the essence of life is taking a breath and feeling my lungs fill, my ribs expand, and the skin grows taut. It is knowing that in that instant, the world is part of me and, when I exhale, that I am part of it. It is about partaking in all aspects of life…
