It’s been a “mild” weekend. By mild, I mean hovering around the freezing mark. Hey, it’s late February in southern Ontario. It’s been a darn sight colder of late.

Our pastor and his wife are also dear friends of ours. They have been realizing a dream to own a hobby farm on a sprawling piece of heaven on earth for a few years now.

Those of you who have followed me here from my previous blog, or Twitter, are familiar with my ladies “gourmet” nights. For years now I have gotten together every month or two with a group of friends to share great food. The way it works is thus: The hostess sets the menu, with or without a theme, and hands out the recipes to the group. Each participant is responsible for making and bringing her assigned dish as written. These are usually not recipes the hostess has tried before, and they give us all the opportunity to try new foods. We’ve enjoyed salt cod fritters, lemon feather tall cake, caviar, northern African, south American, all manner of Asian, Greek, Italian, seasonal, local, healthy, fried, festive and exotic foods.
