It is a good thread. There's also one on breakfast and lunchtime choices. Breakfast can be particularly challenging over here.

Tonight, we had leftover salmon on a large green salad. Fresh raspberries from Granville Market, some crap Canadian vanilla ice cream and some chocolate sauce.

Tonight it's tuna nicoise salad (now down to my last few tins of anchovies).

(as an aside, this thread was easier to find with google than the BE search function - it's the number one result!)

Sounds lovely....but why are you down to your last few tins of anchovies? I bought them here yesterday, pretty bog standard jobs, didn't have a choice of oils etc, but anchovies nevertheless.

You should've let us know you were coming to town and we'd have sent out a welcoming committee (oh, hold on, perhaps you did and I missed the memo - been away for a while)

A vegetarian friend said, "The wieners themselves are disgusting, but they're the perfect vehicle for fried onions and mustard."

We went to a local couples house tonight, but we couldn't believe the stuff tried to pawn of on us. Suffice to say, we left pretty quickly. I don't know about them but we value our children’s health.

Spicy glazed duck and rice, cooked the gizzard but threw it in the trash. I never did like gizzards.

caretaker Nov 26th 2012 9:30 am

Re: Teatime Choices
 
The other half of that duck, cut up and browned with onions and garlic and crushed chilis then pan deglazed with Lemon Hart (we don' need no steenking badges!) And into the slowcooker with a can of pineapple and honey. I set off the smoke detector!
