Good Morning,
It is early in the day here in Oxford and this is more of an
update than a blog post. I apologize; I
had meant to continue writing as I left Canada to further my education a couple
of weeks ago. In my defense, I did not
for two reasons: first, there was little time to sit down and type and second,
I really had little to write about in terms of food. I have not been able to read, watch, or
construct anything to do with food recently.
Being ever so slightly settled in here, I thought I would write and
express my desire to keep working on this blog in the coming months and years I
am here in England.
I did want to share some pictures of the last meal I made in
Canada, hopefully as a fitting farewell to my home country and province. It consisted of dry-aged Alberta beef in the
form of New York strip steaks with pomme puree, oven-roast garlic mushrooms,
and balsamic-glazed baby carrots from the garden at the place we were
staying. I did my steak just on the
cooked side of blue rare and the quality of the cut held up very nicely to
that. Something definitely that will be
missed in England.
In hindsight, I apologize a bit for beginning reviews of
food shows found on Canadian television as I don’t really have a way of following
them here. There is lots of good food TV
here, but I have yet decided whether they are worth writing about. I plan to keep posting, but much of the
content will probably be about historical food because I have some incredible
resources in that area here. So please
continue checking this space.
