Manitoulin. If I can make it there…

Our trip out to Mindemoya was both productive and fun.

This is our grocery store haul.

We also found planters and soil for our herbs.

We stopped here

And had these

Would it be possible to ask once again for that Summer Torte recipe.  Is it already posted somewhere in eG?  Thanks. 

[Porthos]

Bravo on the Schweppes. It's superior, in my DW's and my opinions, to the offerings we find for our G&Ts.

 

I've never seen Ruffles Poutine here in southern California. I'd centainly give them a try.

 

How much travel time to get to Mindemoya? My guess is a generous half hour.

We saw those ruffles and knew we had to try them!

Kerry says about 40 minutes to Mindemoya.

I am so hungry for ice cream that I almost passed out looking at those cones.  

 

Those strawberries look so sweet and good.

 

I see Kerry got her mustard

Well, I'm getting ready to spoon the batter for the plum (mine is fresh peach) torte into the spring form pan.  I only have a 10" pan and the batter looks rather skimpy compared to the pan.  Should I switch to a smaller baking dish?

 

PS--the recipe says you can use an 8 9 or 10 inch....

I see that you guys are in a remote area.  Ok, so I switched to a smaller dish.  I'll report back lol.

Nope - use the bigger - the batter expands!

Oh crap lol

I go away for 3 days and come back to discover I have 4 pages to catch up on already!  Whew!  Thank goodness it is Manitoulin time and I can see the old haunts again :-)  Looking forward to your shots of the Island and its fair offerings.

 

DH and I were on a road trip this weekend and tried the poutine chips purchased at the gas station, a total impulse purchase.  Needless to say, the bag was emptied pretty quickly.  It must be a new flavour.

[Jacksoup]

Saw the initial postings, then got busy with work/life and was thrilled to rediscover the thread. The plum tart looks great. Have 3 plum trees ready to ripen in a couple of weeks and will certainly be using that recipe. Thanks!

Thanks so much! I wouldn't have known what it was if I fell over it.

So when I mentioned buying rhubarb at Pike's Farm the other day - Jane at the ER said "why would you buy rhubarb?" "the abandoned house down by me has tons outside" "nobody buys rhubarb here".  So after lunch she brought me several pounds of rhubarb.

 

 

Pille's Rhubarb Sheet cake

 

 

Nigella Lawson's Rhubarb and Cornmeal cake

Do you ever stew rhubarb with a little bit of sugar to use as a side at dinner? I still remember going out and picking fresh rhubarb from my mom's garden, stewing it and serving it with dinner.

We seem to be suffering from some severe Internet problems. I have jimmied this and that and appear to have access on an unsecured connection. Let's see if it lasts until it can be addressed by people who know far more about these things then Kerry or Me.

I had leftover baked potato and some steak from last night so I made a sort of hash by adding a little butter, some chopped scallions and giving it a little while in a hot pan. It turned out to be quite tasty.

I have some 7- and some 10 grain cereals soaking preparatory to attempting a multi grain bread loaf.

Kerry is working all day - at the clinic this morning and the nursing home this afternoon.

[rotuts]

looking forward to that bread, and the Rx you used.

 

[Anna N]

The biggest challenge I face with the bread is reaching down the bread pan. Being vertically challenged is not a lot of fun when you share a kitchen with someone who isn't vertically challenged!

Little Italy 

Well...almost a Little Italy, but probably still great.

[Anna N]

rotuts,

I used more or less this recipe but made only one loaf. I used equal parts of each of these cereals.
