Noodles, lovely Singapore Noodles. I discovered this dish at small hole in the wall with just enough room for two huge woks in Waterloo near the university. And it has been one of my comfort foods for over 30 years. If you haven't tried it, it's a rice noodle dish flavoured with yellow curry powder with veg, egg and a usually a combination of chicken, shrimp and BBQ pork (char siu). Great as a side, in lieu of rice, or as a meal on its own. . . . #noodles #singaporenoodles #houseofgourmet #chinatowntoronto #currynoodles #shrimp #ricenoodles #dundaswest #foodTO #cheapeats #cheapeatstoronto #foodpics #food #fbcigers #comfortfood #toronto_restaurants #LexGoFurther via Instagram ift.tt/2h99WGa

Another surprise course, Course 6 - I have no idea what this dip was but it had a drizzle of spiced oil, some meaty chunks in it and a handful of edible portals on top. Yup, definitely need to call a friend on this dish. @chef_rsingh can you clarify? #dip #spiceoil #boskTO #dinner #chefsmenu #the6ix #Torontofood #tofoodies #tastethesix #Torontoeats #toeats #tastingmenu #flowers #flavour @shangrilato #Toronto #luxury #foodielife #foodanddrink #f52grams #instafood #igerscanada #fbcigers #foodblogger #feedfeed #food52 #shangrilaTO #igdaily #LexGofurther via Instagram ift.tt/2lExK4S

Last tourtiere of the season baked off and ready for dinner. These single serving pies worked beautifully... Especially since if you pack them as full as I did, they are enough for 2 if you have sides and dessert. (Or folks who aren't big eaters.) So good.

Finished the last of this year's sap, producing a rich, deep maple syrup sweet, intense and yet still delicate. Highest yield yet! However this year, it comes with a crazy amount of sediment. Since we are doing small quantity, hobbiest, maple syrup production, we don't have a pressure filter. Which this year seems to have been almost a requirement. We haven't had much issue with particulate or sediment when sugaring in the past, and making sure we drip filter (using coffee filters), has been enough to keep most jars clear of naturally occurring particulate. But not this year. I'll be doing some more research to find out if this is because of the late season, and thus more nutrients in the sap or something else. Sugaring is science fun! . . . #maplesyrupseason #maplesyrup #maplesap #harvest #sugaring#sweet #bradford #schomberg #diy #canada #organic #farmlife #discoverON #natural #tapintomaple #LetsGoMaple #food #unsweetenedca #fbcigers #truecooks #foodforfoodies #foodietribe #foodoftheday #torontofoodies #foodphotos #foodielife #igerstoronto #f52grams #madefromscratch #LexGoFurther via Instagram bit.ly/2VaMpuf

It's finally strawberry season!! 🍓🍓 We can get fresh local strawberries bursting with flavour everywhere and we should! They are so good, and you can't even pretend they aren't good for you (unless of course you have an allergy) with claims abounding that they regulate blood pressure, help with immune functions, helps with arthritis and gout symptons, and reduces the risk of stroke. I mean, we're almost obliged to eat them. For our health! These were served as part of the @farmfoodcare media lunch for #FFC19 I'm sure you already know to look for local, dark, and aromatic berries to get the freshest ones with the best flavour. In fact, you can probably go for a little adventure and pick your own at strawberry farms near you. It's a great way to spend an evening or even as a weekend outing. (I love berry season, and picking, and ... okay, I'm getting a little over enthusiastic.) But tell me, what is your favourite way to eat fresh strawberries?

A little less golden, but a much better roll on this attempt. (See last insta photo). And the dough, after another 2 day hold is still very tasty and responsive. I should have let them rise a bit more before baking, but they worked out beautifully! Leveling up in my game. Also, should maybe focus on my game for a couple of weeks.
