Cooking a Strip Loin Steak
Yesterday in my blog post about the Gammon bacon I mentioned the other piece of meat that I took along on my weekend trip to my cabin – the boneless strip loin steak from Meat Craft Urban Butchery. The strip loin was just over 13 ounces and honestly, it was enough to easily feed two…

Cooking the Gammon Bacon
Before heading out of town for a weekend at my cabin I visited the folks at Port Moody’s Meat Craft Urban Butchery to get some meat to take along. I bought four slices of Gammon bacon and a monstrous strip loin steak (more about that piece of meat tomorrow). Although it is more expensive…

Schnitzel Sandwich
I took a group of students to Revs Bowling Alley this afternoon and while they all wanted pizza, I opted for a sandwich. The server told me that all the staff are loving the new schnitzel sandwich. She added that it is huge. Comes with fries so I figured, why not. I suppose it…

That is kind of what happened to us yesterday when we went into long tail kitchen in New Westminster’s Rivermarket (formerly known as the New West Quay). The stand out item from the menu for us – the chicken…

Cooking the Turducken
As I have said many tiimes before, I am NOT a fan of the traditional turkey. No matter what I have done, I have found the meat to be dry and tasteless – of course I have not yet had a deep-fried turkey, but no matter what I have done, my turkey experience has not…

The Turducken from Meat Craft Urban Butchery
I picked up this little feller from our new local butcher, Meat Craft Urban Butchery. It is just over 2 kilo and its goose will get cooked this Sunday. Even though there is no goose in it – turkey, chicken and duck.
