Fortune’s Shadow

February 15, 2017 by Dale 7 Comments

Gypsy telling fortune

“Hold the rosemary, Listen my child, I offer you fortune, I offer you clarity. “Give me your hand Give me your life Give to me money and I’ll stop time in the sand. “Your lines are your roads Your hand is my map You travel from far, it is written in codes. “You are newly…

Pesto Crusted Prime Rib

March 3, 2014 by Dale Leave a Comment

With all due respect to vegetarians, nothing quite says Sunday-night dinner like roast beef … and nothing says roast beef like prime rib. To be clear, I’m not even a big beef eater — in fact, beef is my least favourite ‘meat’ well behind pork, lamb, duck or most fish — but every once in…

Roasted Rutabaga with Fall Herbs

October 16, 2013 by Dale 4 Comments

Roasted_Rutabaga

Ah, the dreaded rutabaga. I suspect it is one of the veggies that people fear — and avoid — if for no other reason than the name itself scares them off. But truly, with the exception of the overly ubiquitous carrot and potato, most other ground veggies, at least in this country, have fallen hugely…

Pineapple Coconut water and Rosemary Martini

August 23, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Are you a fan of pineapple? (check) Do you think that coconut water surely must have more sinful uses than to hydrate after exercise? (boring) Think gin separates the adults from the vodka drinkers out there? Wanna play James Bond and have a martini and not have to hide your “eww — yuck” face? (Yes)…

Tuscan Chicken with Olives and Bacon … and Wine

August 14, 2013 by Dale 8 Comments

I cannot take credit for this recipe or the brilliant flavour profile that was created; however, I’m happy to share. All credit goes to Joanne, author of her own blog, NYC Fit Food and Fashion! Her own recipe of Chicken with Olives, Rosemary and Pancetta can be found here. Those that know me, though, know…

“Belle Saison” (“Blonde”/Pale Ale), À l’abri de la Tempête

March 11, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

Back to beer … and a return to a beer that, in particular, was seminal in getting this blog started; a beer I’ve mentioned, but not yet reviewed. It was also the first beer that I drank from BroueHaHa where I purchased it. The reason I selected this one was because at $6 for a regular sized…

“Terre Ferme” (“IPA”), À l’abri de la Tempête

February 23, 2013 by Dale Leave a Comment

I must admit, with the ongoing search in the wintry Atlantic for the missing crew of the capsized Miss Ally, this beer and the poignancy of its brand takes on a whole new relevance these days. If one ever needed shelter from the storm, À l’abri de la Tempête, this crew certainly needs it. My…
