Fred, you do so much real cooking for someone who lives alone. I'm always impressed; thought, effort AND results.

OK, I'll fess. I only posted so I could inform you that a "bunch" of garlic is referred to as a "bulb."


Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

When stuffed into one chicken, I think boatload would work as well, but yeah, senility is finally setting in.

The portobello bruschetta was a hit. I'll be making those again.

Is that for a rub, or for a really awesome cup of coffee ?

I'm tempted to brew it just to find out if it makes a good cuppa.

It's a rub for lamb and it's damned good!

It was accompanied by a Kentukey Black BBQ sauce that uses beer.

Here's the full recipe

I omitted the ketchup from the sauce as it just didn't seem right. I also used fresh onion and garlic because they are so much better.

The recipe also resulted in my accidentally introducing my daughter to a really good dark beer: Hockley Valley Dark.

I WISH Kentucky were really spelled that way. Your way sounds much more like what you really get if you go there. It could use an "r" added to your way, too!

Some Texans call the entire area, "Pennsyltucky."

Kentruckey works for me. I'm a big fan of free-form spelling.

Today was flavour explosion day.

Started off with Afghan bread and baba ganoush of the non tahini kind for lunch. Not sure what made the bread afghan. It was a leavened flat bread with a sprinkling of sesame seeds on it. Quite tasty and very fresh.

Dinner started with a fig and caramelized onion spread with goat cheese on whole grain melba toast. Though there are a profusion of recipes for the spread on the internets this is a new one to me. Loads of flavour and so easy to make.

This was followed by artichoke hearts marinaded with oregano, basil, aged balsamic and olive oil. I'm absolutely thrilled to have a local source of aged balsamics of various flavours.

The main course was beef tenderloin with chimichurri sauce (also new to me). More holy flavour bomb batman... with rice cooked with porchini and tartufi spice and drizzled with truffle oil just before serving. Yet more huge flavour. More than enough to keep up with the steak and chimichurri sauce.

For those of you here in or close to Toronto, you absolutely have to try the spice mix. The store is Vom Fass in the distillery district.

Say, they have a web site: Spice mix ingredients list

Really, you have to try this stuff.

The meal was supposed to be topped off by the best chocolate in the world 2015 but I forgot. blush

Not so random trivia. A small chocolaterie just outside Ottawa, Hummingbird, won best chocolate in the world this year. Who knew Canadians were good at stuff besides Timmies, hockey and snow balls.

Edit: Oh yeah, the meal was accompanied by a very drinkable Konzulmann Estates Baco Noir.
