Chocolate Winner! Keep reading for more giveaways this week.
Thanks to all of you who subscribed to be eligible for the Green and Black’s fondue and chocolate packages. I have two more great opportunities for free stuff this week but first, my last chocolate package goes to
Duck from La Ferme Basque de Charlevoix
It’s been awhile since I have sent out a Foodie-find update, but having spent the weekend before last in Quebec City I thought I would share my find with you. While eating and drinking my way through the Quebec City wine show, I met Isabel Mihura, proprietress of La Ferme Basque de Carlevoix who was [...]
The N’Ice Martini Recipe from The Ice Hotel
Thirty minutes outside of Quebec City is the The Hôtel de Glace at Station touristique Duchesnay, on the shores of Lac St-Joseph. I’m sure you have all heard of it as I had, so I decided to check it out while I was in Quebec City for the wine show. I could never get quite [...]
Quebec City’s First Annual Wine Show
Last weekend Quebec City launched their first annual food and wine show. Wine shows can be overwhelming, as there are so many merchants present and each one showcases a wide selection of their products. It usually takes a while to get the feel for the room, see where the crowds are and schmooze the other [...]
Chocolate Winner! And, I’m almost out of chocolate.
Last weeks chocolate winner, Linda Flora, kindly sent me this email:
“Just received your chocolate fondue package. I was expecting a few chocolate bars and was most surprised to find much more than that. Thank you so much. My daughters and their husbands (as well as my own husband) will be the lucky beneficiaries of the [...]
Irish Soda Bread
The first time I had Irish soda bread was at a tea room in St. George, Ontario. They serve a plain version with honey and butter and a “spotted dog” version, which is dotted with currants. I immediately loved it when I discovered how easy it is to make and since then it’s become a [...]
Mrs. Madeline Payne’s Potato Bread
Today I salute the Irish with a recipe for potato bread from an Irish grandmother. Daniela Payne, web editor and author of the Green Living Blog, asked her Irish grandmother to share with me one of Daniela’s favourite childhood foodie memories. This recipe is as simple and as yummy as can be. Daniela’s dad [...]
Chocolate Winner!
Linda Flora of Mississauga, Ontario is taking home a fondue gift pack of Green and Black’s Chocolate this week.
Heather left this funny Chocolate song set to the tune of Food glorious Food from the musical “Oliver” - very funny, although I think she might have a wee problem with chocolate.
A Sugar Shack Outing for March Break
Here are pictures from a classic Canadian outdoor event. If you are looking for a fun activity to do with the kids while they are on March break or on a free weekend, then take them to a sugar shack to see a real sugaring off. It’s educational, it’s fun, it’s all natural and [...]
Can you Freeze Leftover Cream or Milk?
This week’s question comes from Chris Steeves:
“I hope this is the right place to ask another question. Can you freeze leftover unwhipped 35% cream to use for sauces and soups later?”
Chris - the answer is yes, and here are some details. The problem with freezing any milk products is that they will separate when they [...]
