Mmmmmm…. there is a restaurant in Yaletown that I love. Glowbal ….. really great food, and relatively reasonable. Just be prepared for the wine list…..very, very expensive… but the food…the food is great. Sunday brunch is fantastic! But I’m usually there for lunch with a friend every month or so. And my favourite meal is a salad that they make,…

OK, so now that the first six were gone, I could take another stab at these infamous muffins. That last batch was too dry and didn’t have the right texture. So this time I added more egg, a touch more cottage cheese, and increased the leavening agents a bit. I also increased the oven temperature and decreased the baking time.…

A friend gave me a mission on Facebook…find or recreate the recipe for Solly’s Cottage Cheese muffins. Never having heard of these animals, I went out in search of one to taste test. Mmmmm…quite lovely…meaty but moist, mild flavoured…but tasty. Yummy protein pick-me-up on their own, would be fantastic with a bowl of soup. Not sweet, but not overly savoury…

I took a trip down to the flower wholesale company before they closed at noon. I just felt like having some fresh flowers around..and as usual I overbought…the prices are just so amazing it’s hard not to. A big bunch of white gladiolas, two bunches of blue irises,ten stems of mini gerberas, a bunch of proteus, a bunch of horsetail…

Yes, I’m getting the hang of this again….. now…what to make tomorrow…. I have heaps of fresh Fraser Valley blueberries….maybe salmon with a blueberry salsa….oh yes…that sounds perfect! I’m not sure why I stopped cooking some years back. I always loved to cook, but suddenly, I more or less quit. I think it was sort of gradual… I was traveling…
