I love the Provigo near my house for one particular reason - no one seems to go there for their meat. Instead they buy all their stuff from high end-butchers a little further down Monkland. Which is great if you're making specialty items (like the leg of lamb James and Angela made me last night...Hooo... Continue Reading →
Portebello Burgers
I recently received an E-mail from Christine who came across my blog and started asking me questions about health. Yikes. I'll be the first one to admit my cooking is tasty, but it is not that health conscious. Just ask my roommate - she's convinced I should write a cookbook entitled: "The Joy of Cooking...with...

From all of us here in Montreal, you will be missed! (BUT...Lindsay and I will be there next year... Continue Reading →
James and the Giant "Beer Can Chicken"
It's no secret that I have a slight man-crush on my brown neighbor James D'Silva. And it's not hard to see why. In a nutshell - his (wait for it...) BBQ is much bigger than mine. However, a healthy dose of grilling competition is always a plus - and much to the chagrin of our... Continue Reading →

BBQ SEASON 2011 BEGINS!
Holy smokes. It's been a whirlwind of a winter up here in Montreal. Nothing like the storms people were getting down south (and I didn't get a single snow day!) but at last - the weather seems to be breaking. St-Patrick's Day is always a good way to end off the winter season and I... Continue Reading →
