Ate at the Manor Bistro tonight – had a GREAT supper…. tried baby octopus for the first time ever (it didn’t suction cup itself to the roof of my mouth as I expected it would. Required minimal coaxing from chef Alex Sneezwell). Also tried a sampling of ravioli made with salt cod and goat cheese….

Potato Leek Soup
Here’s a recipe from my 80 year old Auntie Anna for Potato Leek Soup. Every time we speak, about once a month or so, she tells me about this soup. She’s been telling me about it for over a year, so I thought I’d give it a go. I admit I had to watch a…
Kermit!
No, that’s not Kermit the Frog. What that is, is a smoothie. Made with spinach. Pear. Strawberries. Banana. Water. But mainly spinach. I don’t mind my green leafies, as long as they are prepared by a chef with some sort of combination of goat cheese and warmed pecans with a drizzle of some sort of…

Merry Christmas!
It’s early morning and I’m waiting for Michael to wake up so we can open our Christmas presents. The little kid in me wants to pinch his nose until he wakes up to speed things along, but Santa still has time to take away gifts if I’m naughty. I’ll be nice and sit here, try…
Earls Kitchen + Bar
Amendment: JOSHUA! I FOUND YOUR CARD! On December 8 Michael and I were invited to Earls Kitchen + Bar (formerly known as Earls Tin Palace). It was a celebration for Earls 30th Anniversary (yes, you ARE that old), and the new fresh look it is offering its new and old guests. We were greeted as…
