Winter has arrived after a splendid spell of fall weather! Got snow on Wed, Nov. 10 and more expected all week.

 

Some meals the last few days:

 

Chicken, Beansprouts with fresh Ho Fun                 228071799_ChickenChowHoFun5650.jpg.53c79b950073f8e194d0f8442011eb99.jpg

 

 

Breaded Pork Chops in Mushroom Gravy. Eaten with baked sweet taters, butternut squash, and stir-fried sugar snap peas.

I use an app from Superstore, and have found amazing deals when I check around 7 am! Last week, it was 7 packages of fresh boneless duck breasts with 2 days left before "Best By Date. This last couple of months were my first experiences cooking with fresh duck. Where have I been! The first time was with Honey Ginger Soy glaze. This time, it was Blackberry and Chipotle sauce.  Now we will have to work on cooking them just a little less;-) Not sure we appreciated the surprise of the hard seeds in blackberries!

Worked outside with Xmas lights and winter arrangements, so a quick meal was in order: Shake'n'Bake Chicken Legs with BBQ Glaze. Can't seem to find this S'n'B in any stores this past year! Will have to do a Copy Cat version. The extra thin fries are by Cavendish, which I bought by mistake. They were good!

Another of my favourite shopping experiences is at Safeway. I usually check the meat cooler early in the morning, and quite often, I find packages of lamb chops with reductions of $3 - $4 for a package of 3 - 4 chops. I stockpiled, and last night, we enjoyed some grilled on cast iron pan on the stove. Just replaced my old JennAir cooktop with a KitchenAid Glass-top. Not as happy with the glass top but the Jenn-Air bare coils is no longer available, it seems:-( The downdraft worked fine, but still nervous with the glass top.

We've been enjoying the Cavendish brand fries. These were garlic and rosemary seasoned.

I think that Cavendish frozen fries - all varities - are the best frozen fries one can buy in Canada. They put McCain's to shame!
