Dinner's Ready HONEY

This is our honey inspired meal. The onions, flowered those tear jerkers and drowned them in honey and butter and baked them until yum.
The pasta is quinoa with some oyster mushrooms, honey, butter, a little moutard, and green onions, it was good, loved the pasta shape more than anything because it reminds me of speitzle.

Portobello Mushroom Sandwiches

These sandwiches were awesome and really easy to make. The best part I think was the pumpkin, sunflower, and flax seed medley we put on the bun. With some roasted red peppers, avocado, onion, cucumber and a paprika, sun-dried tomato mayo delicious. The side was a chick pea, yellow bean salad. Sara said the sandwich was the best thing she ever ate. The best thing I ever ate was the giant plate of brownie points I had after that one.

Long Weekend BBQ-ing

It wouldn't have been a complete long weekend with out a BBQ. Last night Sara's parents invited us over to enjoy some beef satay and ribs with them. We were lured over in the afternoon to help skewer beef but arrived to find everything was ready to go. According to Sara's mom and dad a long weekend is not only incomplete without a BBQ but also has to include some work in the garden. We were put to work planting flowers and tomatoes, I had a great time and felt good knowing that Gordon and Penny trust me in their coveted garden.
The Food and company were amazing!

Japan-easy

Making rolls and tempura seems like a daunting task but the only advice we ended up needing was from the clerk at the liquor store who told us we should drink the sake we selected chilled.

Sesame Tofu

Sara finally made the tofu dish she had been talking about for a while. It was great! Definitely a pro with this one. She put these long slices of ginger and garlic in with the bok choy and some oyster sauce. The tofu was perfect. We probably shouldn't eat tofu so often, there are studies that show un-fermented soy products can mess with hormones in both women and men but this is for sure a special treat I'll look forward to enjoying every once in a while.

Potato Pancakes

Potato pancakes are a universal human food. It seems every culture enjoys a tradition of grating up potato, mushing it together and frying it.
I most commonly associate them with Eastern European culture where they're called latkes and the oil used to cook them is significant during the Jewish Hanukkah festival.
Wikipedia said they're the national dish of Belarus, I'm thinking of making them my dish of breakfast. With a bit of sour cream there aren't too many better ways to start a Saturday.
