New year and the beast

So here's some things to look at.
Shenanigans.
Happy 2013, y'all!

Xmas catering.

Sometimes we do a bit of catering on the side. It's usually for less then 30 ppl and we work out of the existing kitchen in the venue.
our modern twist and a family style concept makes it festive and casual.

You might think I'm crazy.

I assure you I'm not...well, not completely.
I just enjoy new adventures in flavour country.
This afternoon I made lime pork dumplings for a dinner party this weekend. I had about a 1/3 cup if filling left. its really not enough to do much with. Of course i did what any canadian would do.....Poutine!

I wondered: What kind of gravy for such an exotic mix of meat and Herbs.
Then it occurred to me: what do you serve with dumplings?
Peanut sauce...bingo!
Add St. Albert's mild cheddar and you've got the newest poutine sensation... Omg you won't regret it. So good.
