    Green Curry Chicken with Eggplant and LemongrassJune 12, 2026
    Green Curry Chicken - This is one of my favourite dishes, compliments of a cooking course through the local public school board. I have rated it "medium-to-hard" for the level of difficulty but that is a bit misleading. The individual steps are not particularly difficult, nor is the sequencing, but there are a significant number of detailed steps (including sous-chef preparations) and it takes a long time to prep and cook; it is definitely not a "quick weeknight meal". I have also rated it "mild" for spice, and I do not have a particularly high threshold.

    It’s not you, it’s me: my first book-club breakupJune 12, 2026
    I have over 40 general book clubs that I follow, with several having sublists / groups. My intent when I started was to see what was out there and get out of my reading comfort zone, at least insofar as I would see what was on offer. I combed through 2025, and the first six … Continue reading →

I went all in this month, see, casing every joint, err, bestseller list in town. Get the lay of the land, see. That’s … Continue reading →

    Book clubs 2026-06: A birthday buffet too rich to finishJune 10, 2026
    Ah, the fresh scent of June and my birthday month. There are lots of interesting books for me to consider reading on my birthday. First, though, there are some gifts from last month that weren’t posted in time for my roll-up, even though I said no to all of them! I’ve also been wondering about … Continue reading →

    Leveling up – Three kitchens, one frogMay 28, 2026
    Let me start with a confession. I only have 12 recipes on the website. Not much of a start, right? But this is part of my anal-retentive side. I like to curate recipes, find some good ones, and then put them on my blog. Except that I have hated the design of my recipes for … Continue reading →
