^ Did you say you live in Toronto? One of our old Vintage members, matrix, lives there - his name is Marco Larivera. Think he still works for Cisco. Great guy - his wife Denise is cool, too. She worked as a producer for Canadian TV for awhile here in DC, which is where we used to see them. Then went back to Toronto. I think she works for Discovery now, but need to check. It has been awhile.

 

I live in London, Ontario, pretty much the mid-point between Buffalo, Toronto, Detroit, about 2 hours from each City. I used to love visiting Toronto, it was one of the great Cities in North America, I now regard it as one big "crap hole", as it has gone down the tubes IMO, I couldn't live there for any amount of money.

 

Trying out a new recipe from Dave for potato soap today.

 

Mudbugs...love to boil them, dump them in a cooler, cover with spice, close the lid, and 15 minutes later, eat them until I cannot eat anymore...

 

^^^ Crawfish?

 

Indeed. I love fish and seafood and crawfish are at the top of my favorites list.

 

I hope they don't eat horse or dog.

 

I like seafood too but never had the oppurtunity to try crawfish.

 

Minestrone turned out yummy!

 

We had some veggies to use up so we made our peasant veggie dinner recipe tonight.

Boiled potatoes (nice starchy russets), green beans, chick peas, tuna, tossed in olive oil, seasoned with black pepper, salt, parsley, paprika, chives, a splash of balsamic vinegar and lemon juice. Goes well with some crusty bread and hot peppers. Washed down with a great Kambucha drink we find in our area. Simple and healthy, relatively cheap comfort food, and doesn't take long to prepare.
