From Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, living in the Battlefords, Saskatchewan since 2008. Lucky to have the most amazing wife, and we have 3 wonderful daughters. An Inuk in treaty six territory. I love open source software, dabbling in graphic design and video editing, and cooking. I love the Leafs.
And then... Had a Korean invasion of Ireland, wow, this was a great combo.
First colcannon attempt

For supper I made colcannon for the first time, spicy Korean eggplant and BBQ pork cutlets. Whew it was great and I am stuffed.
I made cheesy cauliflower balls

I made cheesy cauliflower balls today and they were great. Especially enjoyed the bottom of them because as they baked the cheese got crispy on the baking sheet. Used the food processor to break down the cauliflower and cheese, a real time saver. Added bacon to theses, chefs kiss to that haha.

I always understood it was a powerful audio player but, I could never figure it out. Rhythmbox just works and gets out of the way 🤷♂️

Made an awesome dish this afternoon of spicy Korean eggplant. It was a hit! The eggplant was nice and creamy, and the sauce had a nice heat to it. I'll definitely be making this again, and it's so cheap to make, which is also a win.
Recipe that I used is from here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfXK7vc-Z7A
This is basically the lentil flat bread, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZTjR5OKBO8&ab_channel=FoodWishes I add more seasonings like cilantro, some paprika, or powdered onion and garlic. It isn't something that is good the next day.
I use this for my falafel, https://cookieandkate.com/crispy-falafel-recipe/ but, I soak my chickpeas for 2 days on the counter and never used the cinnamon.

I made baked falafel with red lentil flat bread for the wrap. I baked them just because it's easier then frying all these for a family but, still they are delicious. The lentil wraps are great with it as well. Honestly, 7-10 years ago if you told me that some of my favorite meals to make would be plant based.... I'd chuckle and dismiss it. I mean I still enjoy cooking meat but, yeah plants make super satisfying, cravable meals.
Wow! That is great, those look amazing. I hope they enjoy it and keep it up because they look like they know what they are doing. 👏👏👏
Thanks. As long as you give it time to cook and really soften the veggies. I only had 1 cup of lentils so I was half a cup short, but 🤷♂️.
Oh yeah, I think chillies would be great, add a nice warmth to the soup. It probably would work nice. I like the idea.
I made a soup

It's about to warm up out of soup season so I made a new one for me. It's butternut squash, cauliflower, lentil soup. It was funny because after I blended it with an immersion blender I tasted it and it tasted like it definitely was missing something, added the coconut milk and some lime juice and WOW that was it.
I used my own veggie broth for this. I didn't have red curry paste so I just used some powders I use for curries with a little extra paprika.
Here is the recipe I used for this.

I made this for work

I got to make this based off of 1990s UpperDeck hockey cards. Our city Council took this photo of them in our local Jr A hockey jerseys to show support during the teams playoffs run. I used GIMP and inkscape to make this.
It's chickpea flour, water, salt, black pepper, oil, rosemary and onions
It was a mix between https://www.themediterraneandish.com/farinata-recipe/ and this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vKnzKb60C4&t=3
I made Farinata

This was my first attempt at making farinata. It could have used a little more bake time but it was great. It's simple but full of flavour I would definitely make it again and experiment with toppings.
The aquarium is amazing, wish we had budgeted more time for it. The facility it is at has a whole days worth of activity there. The Olive Mill is a pretty good pace to check out as well, specially if you like olive oil. I wanted to go, but didn't have time to visit Heard Museum.
Yeah, there was a nice period when Pidgin could easily handle all the chats. Then providers siloed their apps 🫤
laa-booshk is a Leaf again
The Maple Leafs will acquire right-handed shooting defenceman Ilya Lyubushkin from the Anaheim Ducks in a three-team trade involving the Carolina Hurricanes, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports.

Wow, a familiar face, that shoots right and the cost wasn't insane. I like this a lot.
Thank you. I tried to set them up to sync between my desktop and Android but no luck.
Do you sync your Joplin notes with Synching? Any tips?
I tried it this summer. It was slow and not that engaging. But, I'm willing to give it another try next summer in hopes of improvements.
Thanks! Here is the recipe for the vegetable broth, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDWSZ4ZcnQE&t=10
I based the curry off of this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NM-4tVL4Z-c&t=167 I think next time I make this wilting a bunch of baby spinach in this would be an amazing addition.
I made a red lentil and sweet potatoe curry

Made it with my own vegetable broth as well. It turned out great, would definitely make this again. Just didn't have cilantro and missed that.
Wife and I loved this episode, just so great. Hate that Jodie didn't have writers and stories as great as this. My wife did find a bit of a plot hole though. This story takes 15 years later right? Donna got married 15 years ago, assuming she got married not long after the meta crisis. So Rose should be 13 or 14 at the oldest. Rose clearly is in her late teens.
Take two, I think the first attempt had the dough too moist. Today's turned out very nice, I think
Thanks, first go at this recipe, trying to figure it out.
I made curry with lentil balls

This evening I made a curry that had mango yogurt in it and rather than making rice I made baked lentil balls, haha there is a better name for them, right? Something like kofte? Anyhow this dish was extremely affordable, packed with veggies and flavour.

Fall is the shortest season we have. Soon so the pretty colours will be gone and everything will look bare until the sn*w covers everything
Quiet here...
Things are really quiet on here, guessing there are a lot more consumers than sharers. The #Leafs hashtag is a good follow on Mastodon, there are frequent posts and good bots sharing. Looking forward to lively conversations about the coming season. Go Leafs go

Today in Battleford, Saskatchewan, we had a street festival and at this event were several food trucks. We got Bao buns and spring rolls from one. The Bao on the left is a brisket filled one and the one on the right is pork belly... Wow, so good. Plus the weather was great for mid September here it was 28*C
