Thanks for the link :). I'm trying to make my own as much as possible these days.

Late last night I recalled another brand ( name escapes me right now) which is very good, I've only ever found it in IGA.

I make all my own as well, except for Balti - I found Pataks was better than most for that.

I'll have to dig out my recipes and notes, I did a 19 week Indian cookery course in HK. The woman ran it in her tiny kitchen with 6 of us sitting on stools either helping to prepare or watching her cook and taking notes (she gave us hand written recipes).. then we'd eat it all. At the end of the course (we kept asking for more lessons, it was originaly a 10 week one, lol) we all made a dish to take to her flat, she dressed us in sari's and we had photos taken. Wish I could find it!

Happy days.

:)

I was passing Dollarama today so as a few foodie things recently got a mention I dropped in.

I bought a Thai black pepper stir fry paste and a couple of tins of 'British' rice.

Some of the things in tins and jars are definitely a step up from a couple of years ago.

Also Jaffa Cookies/Biscuits Jaffa from Poland. As with Pim's, a good substitute for Jaffa Cakes. Blackcurrant flavour too.

I dont really 'get' caviar - it has never appealed even if it wasnt so stupidly expensive..

I told our dear switchboard operator, Ada Digney, "Take some napkins and take a bunch, there's lots." She took some, then spotted the caviar.... "Oh Boy! Blueberries!" and before I could say anything popped one into her mouth. She spit the works all over her switchboard and shouted "Those blueberries are ROTTEN!"

I have to say it does look nice I would agree-it's just that we have these amazing lobster when we went on holiday to Anegada- I have never had a lobster with so much meat on it, they were cooked in old oil drums which had been cleaned out and used as simple ovens on the beach-very simple but incredibly memorable. I'm sure that coastal lobster from around these shores, particularly the Maritimes is probably great as well. I do love of seafood and was particularly impressed by that Costco website
I do see live lobster and crab in Superstore, I'm just too soft to contemplate even humanely killing a live animal. Hypocritical I know!
It sounds as if I live a champagne lifestyle… I don't, I am trying to think what to make with chicken breast tonight which isn't boring-I have a few ideas… An Italian slant I reckon..
