Amy made me a master chef worthy dinner for our catch up night before I leave for Europe. She even spoiled me with the bottle of blueberry wine she'd brought over from Tasmania!
Plating of the main course.
Main Course:
•Buffalo in Three Styles
•Fragrant Rivermint Herb Salad with Crisp Shallots
•Stir Fry Asian Greens
after removing the eggplant, add some cooked pasta to the tomato sauce. add some fresh basil, turn off the heat, add olive oil and parmesan cheese.
mario batali's version.
when we do these, I always feel uncreative and without ideas.
grill seared beef tenderloin
fried parsnip shavings garnish
parmesan cheese tuile in the
button and lobster mushroom risotto
served with sauteed asparagus and tourned carrots
with a lemon-demi sauce.
I did the carrots and risotto (turned out really awesome for my first time!), but the tuile was also my idea.

Images from this past summer that I'm just now getting around to editing. I really like the pattern in this dragonfly's wing.
I was invited to a Tilda Brazilian SupperClub with Rosana McPhee, Luiz Hara and Dhruv Baker. The food was fantastic!
+ on electrode and - on dart. Rotated and swished as before, checking now and again, Only takes about a minute.
Last night I hit the Parts & Labour launch party.
Great food, nice space, interesting crowd and some really good conversation. Including talking to Victoria about the rooftop garden they've put in to grow herbs, lettuces, beets and more to supply the kitchen.
The Chef's Tables are appealing to a camera nut like me. I'm hoping to go back and try the regular menu with Gerry soon.
The two vehicles have different window shapes and different kinds of raised trim. Paul addresses this discontinuity with new hull panels and window frames made from styrene. He also used styrene as "metal plating" on the stagecoach's wheels, covering up the original spokes.
In the foreground, the searchlight is under construction. Also seen is the vehicle's steering wheel, which, in the era before automobiles, resembled a sailing ship wheel.
It's almost time for this year's Toronto Taste. Toronto Taste is a fund raiser for Second Harvest where chefs from across Toronto come together to donate their time and their food to help raise money to feed the hungry in Toronto.
It's an amazing day of food, celebrity chefs, drink and doing good.
This year Toronto Taste is moving back downtown and will be held in Yorkville.
Raffle tickets are being sold and the early bird prize is 2 tickets to Toronto Taste.

For the rear end, the Italian-style chrome plating is applied after brazing the dropouts to the seat stays and dropouts, but before brazing the bottom bracket shell and seat clamp. This allows the inside of the dropouts to be cleaned in case of accidental damage, thus preventing internal corrosion of the frame. These rear ends are brazed on a jig, ensuring perfect alignment at the desired angle.
The fork is finished with straight fork legs, and the handlebars are then made on a special jig. The finished frame, with its fork secured in place using spacers the same height as the headset, is fitted with wheels, placed on a surface plate, and held vertically by an adjustable stand.
This allows for quick and precise dimensional checks.
The straightening process is standard. Filing is done with a wooden half-round jaw vise, and emery cloth is used to finish the job. The bushing faces are faced and the internal rounding is done on a special machine.
Then comes the work of the painters, in a spray booth with a water jet, followed by the detailers for the pinstripes, oven baking, and application of the decals. The enameling generally consists of a coat of primer, two coats of enamel, and a coat of varnish. The steering cups are mounted on a vertical press. After retouching the threads of the
On the left, the fork is straightened and checked before bending, and below, it is bent using a jig.
On the right, the fixed bottom bracket cup is screwed and locked onto a horizontal tool. Using a ball bearing on a horizontal tapping machine, the fixed bottom bracket cup is mounted. This operation is quite unique. The bottom bracket cup holder is fixed horizontally against the wall, which allows the frame to rotate in the vertical plane, thus ensuring the operator complete freedom of movement and ample power for a secure locking action.
A specialist mounts the wheels using standard tools, drawing on their expertise and extensive experience.
Finally, the final assembly of the machine is carried out on vertical stands, with the utmost care, by mechanics.
It should be noted that the average length of service at MOTOBECANE for the staff in this workshop exceeds twenty years.
After this brief tour, one can conclude that the Pantin workshop combines a "custom frame" department (although I dislike this term) with a special assembly department for racing bikes, available to any customer. Who wouldn't be happy to be treated like this?
Aside from this admittedly incomplete report, Marcel Chauve gave us a tour of a conference room equipped with a color slide projector showing the main manufacturing and assembly processes for the bicycles.
This is used for information, documentation, and even training for the brand's agents, who periodically complete internships in the company's various workshops, thus ensuring that all customers have access to expertise that is constantly maintained and updated by management. An excellent policy, don't you think?
