Our province, and specifically, our small city of around 48,000 people had 72 days of no cases of Covid, then this last 2 weeks, we've had 67!
Many of us seniors have been living carefully within small bubbles, but we do miss having friends and families gathered for meals, etc.
Cooking and gardening, however, has kept me busy, well-fed, safe and happy at home.

Beautifully ripe Z Lady Peaches from Tenerelli Orchards at my local farmers market. If one wishes to pay the premium, Tenerelli is now shipping their peaches. Seems pricey, but their peaches are stellar

The recipe suggests adding fresh berries so each one got a few blueberries.
I had some of that mix leftover so I puréed up the rest of the blueberries and made these Blueberry with Lemon Cream Pops

A couple of weeks ago was Arizona Cocktail Week and as part of the Artisanal Marketplace we served up a drink to the masses that we called Waiting for Watube (recipe by Micah Olson). We made a batch for sitting in the backyard this weekend. Gotta love how Montenegro and pineapple play together.
1 oz Plantation 5yr Barbados
0.5oz Hamilton Gold Jamaica
0.5oz Montenegro
0.75oz lime
0.75oz pineapple syrup (1:1 fresh pineapple juice and sugar)
Quick shake with crushed ice and dump all into glass
4 dashes aromatic bitters (AZBL Mi Casa) floated on top
dehydrated lime wheel garnish

And a poptail version of this Pomegranate & Grapefruit Paloma cocktail. These are basically a juice pop so they'll be icy but should be refreshing.

Some custard would have been lovely, but I didn’t make it this time. This was so good – tender and moist and not overly sweet. The actual recipe calls for strawberries, but the original poster uses all kinds of fruit. She did a lovely pear and raspberry one that I’d like to try next.
I cooked it in the CSO, which I'm not at all sure was a good idea. It collapsed a bit.

This bread is in their section on "brick breads," as a sub-recipe to the Whole Grain bread (where here by "whole grain" they truly mean "left whole" as in, not ground into flour). It actually doesn't have any whole grains in it, but it exists in the same spirit as those breads: just enough flour to hold together a massive quantity of whole ingredients. In this case, nuts (I used pistachios), crushed cocoa nibs, and diced dried apricot. It also has a very large amount of cloves, some cinnamon, and some thyme. I had much more success with this bread than I did with the Vollkornbrot - it's much easier to eat, and you don't need anything special to slice it. In many ways it is reminiscent of a quick bread, though of course it is not one.

As for the lady at Hervey Bay, yes pretty tragic and would have been awful for all the families at the celebration to loose such a community active figure like that. But, I can't imagine eating/inhaling something covered in Dessicated Coconut at speed going well for me.
Back to Crisps and another shelf stayer for your discussion and disgust was found today. Give me England and plain old pickled onion and prawn cocktail any day 😉.

Overall the meal was characterized by surprising and delicious flavor and texture combinations: in fact, I thought the least successful dish was the walleye, because it was so... normal! Delicious, but out of place among all of the other flavor combinations during the course of the meal. I also chatted with Rob about the cured hen's egg a bit -- it hasn't been his guests' favorite. The savory gel thing isn't sitting well with diners here, which I think is too bad, because I thought that dish was really excellent.

Delicious salad and lots of fun to eat - you can make each bite a different combination of ingredients. I crisped the chickpeas in the oil left from the chorizo. The rich ingredients (chorizo, avocado, roasted pepper, etc.) need a nice bite from the sherry vinegar. I only tasted the dressing by dipping leaves of greens and ended up drizzling a bit more vinegar on afterwards.
