Pasta Nova Scotia.

Nova Scotia… what can I tell you? Ummm… I totally fell in love with this place and the kind of people we have met. So that means we are DEFINITELY coming back…
This dish was created in the Cabot Trail, located in Nova Scotia and I hate to say it but I felt bad for the nice people we were camping with; we cooked this great meal while they were enjoying slim fast drinks… We offered some but they politely declined and the irony is that their budget for food was 6 times more than ours per day…

Ingredients:
Pasta
Zucchini
Tomatoe
Feta cheese (in oil with spices)
Mushrooms
Sausage
Salt

Preparation:
1) Cook some pasta, al dente preferably. Once cooked add the raw tomatoe, zucchini, mushrooms and feta cheese.
2) Dice the sausage and fry it (in its own fat), once cooked add it to the pasta.
3) Add some salt and any other spices you may have available but remember that the oil from the feta cheese provides already a great taste.
4) Enjoy!!!

Memories of Newfoundland.

This recipe is awesome!!! AWESOME!!!, the only other time I felt the same way was when we had dinner at Lumière in Vancouver, BC; the difference though was that this meal only cost $5 for two people and the other one cost $500. We were very pleased to have had this dish as our last memory of Newfoundland, what a great way to end a part of the journey, especially when it was not going great…

Lamond’s special chicken.

This chicken is my favourite and possibly what made me fall in love with Brian since Lamond shared with Brian the recipe…

Thanks Lamond for cooking this chicken twice for me while we stayed with you, I appreciate it…

The recipe, not sure!!! He does not disclose the secret ingredients but the next time we cook it we will share the recipe with you, at least the one we follow…

Lucky day at "Buddy's fries".

If you are ever on your way to London coming from the West is a good idea to travel on the ferry from South Baymouth to Tobermory to get to your final destination. We did not realize that South Baymouth is part of an island, named Manitoulin Island, until we were enjoying a delicious meal with some locals on the “island”. We had stopped to take a picture when we met a couple who ended up inviting us to “Buddy’s fries where they really have an excellent menu, very affordable. We had a lucky day, very lucky day… Great company, great food.

First time I ate poutine and deep fried pickles, the chicken burger with feta cheese I had was extraordinary, Brian had beef on a bun but he would not share with me so I can’t comment.

This place is located on Hwy 6 towards the ferry terminal, before Green Bush Road as a reference. Make an effort to stop if you are in the area, trust me, you will not regret.
