When I surf the Internet, it can involve very focused searches for specific information, general browsing of broad topics, or sometimes (often when I can’t sleep, or have nothing better to do), just skipping from link to link, not looking for anything in particular. Sometimes, as it happens, it is this casual, idle wandering that […]

For five of my twelve years here in Canada’s Arctic I was, by a very wide margin, ‘Canada’s Highest Lawyer’. Having trumpeted that fact, however, I should hasten to add that the impressive sounding title had nothing whatsoever to do with skill, ability, or even my standing in the profession, but rather came about as […]
Years ago, while I was an impoverished law student, I was often forced to improvise meals with just a few ingredients. One evening, having just some bacon, tomatoes and spaghetti, I threw together a simple dish that was so good I have continued to make it to this day. I often add to the bare-bones […]
…. Publisher:St. Martin’s Press; Publication Date:2000 ISBN-10: 0312246994 ISBN-13: 978-0312246990 … Although this book does contain a good number of recipes, it is not a cookery book, as such; rather it is nice little introductory reference to many of the ingredients used in Chinese cuisine. At one time, I used to own two other books by the […]
713 Somerset Street West, Ottawa, (613) 235-3134 This used to be my favorite stop for Asian foods whenever I got to visit Ottawa but the Kowloon Market just across the street has taken its place recently. That doesn’t mean that I don’t like Wa Kiu anymore, by any means, but I do have to note […]

It has a very good selection of ‘small-eats’ (小吃) but potential purchasers of the book will be well warned that many of the recipes are definitely not for novices… […]
808 Somerset Street West, Ottawa, (613)983-8828 I made many visits to Otttawa’s Chinatown before I even noticed that this store existed. I first saw it last August and I made a point of visiting it on my most recent trip south. It isn’t very large inside, but there are lots of interesting things on offer… […]
Date of Visit: March 23, 2012 Zak’s is one of the two decent places I went for breakfast on my last trip to Ottawa. I have passed by Zak’s many times in the past but this time I wanted to try a place for breakfast other than Dunn’s, my regular spot, since, good as that […]
This is the second vegetable dish I cooked to go with our Easter dinner of Roast Lamb (the other being Roasted Vegetables). I thought of doing something vaguely Italian with them but then decided on a sweeter preparation using Oyster sauce. Mixing white wine along with Oyster sauce may sound like an odd combination to […]
