One Year

"I wanted to tell the book thief many things, about beauty and brutality. But what could I tell her about those things that she didnt already know? I wanted to explain that I am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race - that rarely do I even simply estimate it. I wanted to ask her how the same thing could be so ugly...

Quick Blog

My mom is here visiting me (yay). It takes a lot of cleaning to get things ready for my mom but I love her visiting.

We went out for dinner to our favourite restaurant. I almost never go out to eat so it is special when my mom takes me out. And we always get a litre (bigger than a regular wine bottle...

Finally I...

Silly Stuff from the Internet

So I want a blog to take away my slightly sad one from before so I thought I would share some things from the internet that make me giggle. A few of these are old and have probably been seen before - but I enjoy them.

Let's start with a video. One workplace I was at we had an ongoing...

So todays recipe is the first one in the Pie section of Grandma Gs cookbook....

Oh my! That is very very pink. It is so you. I think you should make that more often. Like weekly.

My Grandmothers Cookbook: Claires Hot Casserole

This is the first recipe Ive chosen to make from my Grandma Gs cookbook. Yesterday I blogged about my plan to cook from my Grandmas handwritten cookbooks and Ive chosen one of the many casseroles or hot dishs to start with.

Here is the recipe. This one illustrates a few things Ive noticed about Grandma Gs cookbooks, the first...

Maybe miners are sodium deficient or something. That is a lot of food. I hope the wine helped.
Heh so you come from old Irish miner stock. I liked hearing about your grandparents.

Maybe you can open a soup kitchen with all that food.
But canned mushrooms does seem cruel.

My Grandmothers Cookbook

So there are a number of blogs you can find out there (if you like food blogs and I do) where people take one specific cookbook and work their way through the recipes in it. Julie and Julia is the most notable and famous. French Laundry at Home and Alinea at Home being my favourite cookbook blogs.

I would like to take...

I'm really looking forward to reading about this. Need to stock up on some canned soups and jello

And here is a good ol' Norwedgian recipe. You will like it. Honest. It has potatoes.


SPOILERS! (Click to view)

Recipe for a good, old fashioned Norwegian dish:
Klubb (potato dumplings)
(Serves 6) (Measurements by weight)
750 grams [26.5 ounces] raw potato, grated
250 grams [8.75 ounces] boiled potato
200 grams [7 ounces] barley flour
salt
Mix the raw, grated potato with the flour immediately to stop the potato turning brown. Mash the boiled potato, mix with the grated potato and add salt to taste. Roll the potato mixture into balls the size of snowballs and leave to simmer in salted water for app. 30 minutes. Make sure there is enough water in the pan so that the dumplings are not touching. Serve with goat's cheese sauce and meat.
Potato dumplings with bacon and duppe, marvelous!

Miss Joy and the Symphony of Fire

Let me tell a tale of when I was a twenty year old student spending the summer being a tour guide and bartender on the cruise boats in the Toronto harbour.

I was a more a tour guide than a bartender but on the busy nights they would ask me to work a shift in the evening. They...
