The Resurrection

I dunno how many people are stilll occasionally checking this thing to see if I've done anything new, but I'm slowly going to start back. Clearly I've been out of commission for a spell. Super busy. New job, new(old) city, and plenty of things that need straightening out still. Nevertheless, I've been up to some fun tricks. The apple cider has stopped fermenting, so it's now just up to the decanting and settling process to clarify it before it's a consumable thing. Further than that, both this week and last week I've been up to some interesting stuff. Hopefully also next week.


My goal has sort of become to have one day off a week, as twisted as that may seem. Or two, I suppose, but to do at least one food related, or more stove trotter related, thing every week. For example, I've staged at two of Ottawa's finest dining establishments in the past two weeks. Beyond my full time job. It's a curious thing, how willing I am on my days off to get back into another kitchen and do it all over again. Anyways, I have to go to work, so I'll leave you with a photo of my perfect pie crust, and upon my return will have a couple posts to do. Namely the two restaurants and a dessert extravaganza I had a couple days ago. Enjoy your free nights, because I can't. Also for your reading enjoyment, a shot of the very last herbs to come out this year. Only the most deliciously tenacious ones left.
