Next stop is the Okanagan, stay tuned for wining and dining. Comox Valley Pt.2. Anyways, scallop spaghettini, white wine cream sauce, au classique. Twas pretty good stuff.

So, these are the straight goods. This is Red Betty, she is a nice Astro van. She will get me across Canada. This is a Kodak Playsport. It is amazing. It shoots 1080p HD video and is the size of a small cell phone. This sneaky little thing is going to make videoblogs easy, traveling. Partners embarrassed, and document a lot of stuff that will probably interest no one but me. It can film up to 10 ft underwater, a point I intend to test vigorously. June 1st- Leaving Vancouver for the Island. Gonna be a wil...

Not everyone is crazy about the food coming out of Alinea. I am. I think it's amazing the way they shift the conversation about food to a different perspective. You are invited to disagree, but I'm right. I don't necessarily think they make the best food in the world, or anything so silly and romantic like that, but the. Beyond my rampant alcoholism, there is another story. Next restaurant. No, not next restaurant. "Next" restaurant. Nevermind. There shall be a party had by all. If this sort of thing get...

So we finally did it. Finally. The ground oven was made, and it couldn't have worked. Better. With no small help from Mark and Ilze, using their property, and a bunch of their produce, we created magic. So after our terrific first day introduction, Ilze and Mark gave us a list of couple people that would be interesting to visit around the area and headed to Halifax for appointments. We headed out not soon after to a local beekeepers. Donald is a friend of Ilze and Mark and joined us that evening ...The r...

Upon our departure from said range, a few rowdy Aussies pull up, and decide upon shooting the rocket launcher(at a whopping 350 US$). We have a date set, but some of our company parts ways to go observe this debaucle. Almost ends up killing everyone on a misfire, as it happens. And declared victory. This sounds like a bit of a blasee account of a period of time which killed 7 million people and is one of the most brutal atrocities ever commited by a dictator on his own people. You see that chicken head?

After steaming, the bricks of feed get inoculated with mushroom. This extract is grown elsewhere in petri dishes, and stored in liquid before being popped in a pressurized gun and being proverbially blasted into the clods of feed. Beyond the two containers for growth, there is also a fourty foot walk in fridge for the enjoyment of all, people and mushrooms as well. The nicest surprises there were some oregon white truffles kristoph had brought in on special order. Out of control. Crust in the Kitchen.

Ontario Wine Spot #2- Frogpond Organics. Cab Franc- Musty, but with some nice characteristics. Tar, peppers. Chambourcin- Actually my favorite of the winery and one I hadn’t tried before or ever heard of. A bit sweet, nice pepperiness, and rounds out with berries and dark fruit. Relatively decent, but nothing I would pay for. Cab Merlot-Lots of leathery, green pepper tones, some spices, really full bodied, but not so tasty. Rose-A really confused tasting rose. Not very tasteful, in my opinion. After a wi...

Edmonton, oh Edmonton. My liver is pickled and I smell like cow poo, what am I going to do about you? We were shown to the basement suite, which was literally the entire basement to ourselves, and awesome. We both showered and when we came upstairs dinner was minutes away from ready. Ian was already prepping for tomorrows dessert and we were told to kick back and relax, maybe drink something, so we did. We're always happy to abide by that request. South of Calgary (Feedlot Dilemma). They also let me and ...
