5 Saisons Sushi - 2014

Sushi is awesome; 

this time around we went to a great BYOB sushi joint that offers tons of choices, and the fish is always ocean fresh... We indulged in some appetizers, a few rolls and some pure fish.

Excellent prices, excellent serves and outstanding food.

Rib Off 2014

My uncle Rocky and I have been chomping at each other about a rib off for quite some time now, and finally it happened. 

Rocky: He went for a more BB Barn style; crock pot with a sweet and sour sauce

Chris: I went for a classic slow wood smoked rib with a spicy sauce

All the guest were invited to vote on their favourite... It was a split with the adults, but luckily I won the kid vote and took the bragging rights... of now... he'll be back with a vengeance in 2015.

Final vote R: 5 C: 7

To Brine or not to Brine - 2014

Of all the processes at work during brining, the most significant is salt's ability to denature proteins...

Six easy Brine recipes

Catering a 30th Wedding Anniversary; plan on brining pork roast and then smoke it with maple... they have no idea what awaits :-)

Burger Bob's

Classic cantina food to be had a Burger Bob's... Nothing fancy, nothing small, nothing healthy, but occasionally on summer nights when the air is thick and kitchen closed, a burger sure hits the grease spot!

A pub, a son, and a game

Small little irish pub in Hemmingford qc took us in after a three generation golf match to watch the World Cup. A few beers, nachos and cheers were had... Great little pub - check it out!

Strawberries abound in Dunham

The first of the berry crop has hit Dunham, QC hard! Sweet, plumb, juicy strawberries are abound... We took our crew to cultivate these little gems of happiness... We all left with tummy aches, which only tells me the crop is a good one this year.

Le Cheese Resto

So Le Cheese food truck just opened a sister shop in NDG; In an effort to keep my taste buds expanding we took the kids for a bite. The interior was very nice and cheesy, the food was cheesy but lacked overall flavour. We sampled the mac and cheese, grilled cheese, mac and cheese balls, the tomato soup and the philly steak, all of which were good but nothing more. I feel the overall lack of seasoning could have remedied this short coming greatly, because I really want to go back... might bring my own salt, pepper and hot sauce next time.
