Wild leek hunting starting soon. Looking forward to a new season of great local produce, farmed and wild.

New study is saying that red meat leads to early death, we'll see about that in six months when a new study comes out saying it adds years.

Day 12045 on red meat and still alive. It must be the genes.

Found out yesterday that you really can over smoke a chicken, it tasted like ashtray. Live and learn.

My fridge still smells like smoked chicken, yuk. Starting to plan the back yard wood oven, laying the foundation as soon.

Spring is in full effect. Out door farmers market opens tomorrow, Yeah!

Just in the planning stages of a farmer chef dinner. 300 people, 10 chefs, 20 farmers and whole lot of open fire cooking!

I lost most of my lettuce in the garden. Still getting frost up here, I should have known better. Frost at night, sunburn during the day.

Great weekend with family and friends. Got through it with very little turkey, for that I am thankful.

My CSA is rolling strong this year. Circle organics brought a bunch of great stuff yesterday. PGB brought some great tomatoes.

Taking the night off. Lets see how the ship runs on cruise control.

Off to another catering today, Yesterdays double went well. Four down one to goooooooooooooooooooooo.

Wine and Swine at Rare tonight. Lots of pork and other great local Kawartha fare.

Fin and I just made a great batch of headcheese. He now thinks headcheese is the best thing on earth.

I had a new one, chicken part pie. Braised hearts and gizzards in bacon pastry with lobster mushies. Those who had it........ good for you.

I'm thinking of a different root for the smoker. Local veg, local meat and now local welder.

I'm bidding on 4 different BBQ smoker trailers from the southern states. Why do all the best ones have to be the furthest.

Researching new ways to cook meat out doors. Can an old 70's style circular clothes line be turned into a argentine BBQ?

Is this wrong? Flouring lamb shanks, deep drying them for a few minutes, sous vide with bacon fat for 6 hours then roasting for 30 minutes.

Trying to live a tweet lifestyle. My facebook updates from Mexico city didn't cut it.
