Jack's North Shore Eats

Eatin' It Old Skool

Mother made a family favorite...

Nasi goreng! (No, I haven't tried this recipe, but I am planning to...)

And, of course...

Spaghetti & Bread

Mother made spaghetti tonight and it was delicious. She also made some wonderful new bread that was just out of this world...

The crust on this bread was amazing...

I think I may need to learn how to make bread like this...

Mother is Back

Now that Mother is back for a stay, we aren't having to cook quite so much...

Tuesday was Chicken Pot Pie Night. 100% from scratch. You can't beat that...

More Cow...

Eating our cow has become a kind of adventure. When you have 28 pounds of hamburger meat (only a fraction of what is still waiting for us Down South...) in your freezer, a hamburger starts to feel more like a project...

Alex's broccoli-cauliflower salad...

Some like their burgers messy...

This "A" stands for anarchy, not Alex...

I heart red bean salad (Thanks Mother)...

Garden Party

The Edgewater Glen Annual Garden Walk is always fun. This year we had lots of friends over to help us celebrate after the Walk. Mother, Sister, Alex, and I all made canapés and no one went away hungry...

And what would a garden party be without a little spirit...

and a little garden...

My thanks goes out to Annie Ping for being my photographer for the day. Here are a couple of her price pieces for the day...

A Little New Home Cookin'

Nothing says Home like a meal straight out of your childhood. All the spices were there, but these were actually all new recipes. Everything was fantastic!

Curried potatoes with onion and mustard seed...

Cabbage and green beans (not pictured because I have shaky hands)...

Peanut roasted chicken...

and some marinated Tilapia...

Wonderful.

That's a little Mango Pickle and Chilli [sic] Pickle in the background. They're a must...

Homemade Pizza

Sunday should be a day of rest. This meal is fun and not really as hard as it looks because everyone makes their own pie.

Some ingredients...

We also had mushrooms, green olives, jalapenos, and, of course, cheese...

Add a little vino...

And you're eating in no time at all!

Gin and Cake

Long day, long week, long year in the belly of the beast.

So, Ruby and I went out for a little dinner...

Now that's presentation. Thanks, Morseland!

And then when I went to pick up Ritalin at Mother's...

I encountered a lemonade-infused lemon cake!

Holy smokes!

Mother x 2

Recently Mother had two stellar successes back to back...

These country pork ribs were accompanied by potato salad, cole slaw, and baked beans. Can you say the Webster-Barslows are getting a little cabin fever?

The next night, another palpable hit with meatloaf, chopped broccoli with garlic, and sweet potatoes and cream cheese (this is a new one)! Wow.

Thanks!

Side dishes...

These were the side dishes for the burgers...

Thanks, Mother!
