    I just bought myself this tagine at a reasonable price. Had to hunt around and only one local retailer sells them.
    I look forward to making it tonight, now to my trip to the supermarket to get the ingredients.

    End result....
    It was very, very good but after a while I found it hard to have more mouthfuls, you know the feeling when you have a really nice cake but after a while it gets sickening. I don't know why that was the case, maybe too much on the sweet side? Maybe less fruit, cinnamon, sugar next time?

    One of those meals that tastes better than it looks.
    When we go for Moroccan, it is a shared thing with a bunch of courses where you eat a small amount of each course.  
    It is also in dim lighting.  ;)

    I reckon it looks good too in photo haha.
    I have never been to a Moroccan restaurant. Will have to try it.
    I remember years ago trying a bit of lamb tagine at a work function. It was okay but we made it ourselves (work day out at a cooking class) so the chef's sucked haha.

    Chelsea Fire Wicked Hot Sauce has been my everyday sauce for a while now. I can't believe that Massholes make a sauce that has this much flavor.

    Which one do you suggest?  (Assuming they make a variety.)  Will have to order some of that shit up.

    My meal for the day today is lunch.
    Good stuff..the three egg, goat cheese omelette was amazing.  Sounds dumb the say but it is one of the best things I make right now, after much practice.  Exactly to my tastes.  I think most people's omelettes are overcooked, overstuffed, shit.
    Different hot sauces for the beans and the eggs.

    They only make one sauce. It separates, so you have to shake it before using. It's a little on the thin side, but it has a great flavor profile. The heat is nice, too. It leaves a mark, but it's not the type that wakes you up in the middle of the night.

    I somehow managed not to be woken up early this morning.  I don't really know how, because the Nasties were fucking on fire last night.  I shed a tear after the first wing.

BC,  fruit  and hops flowers grown on the little acreage.,the fruit basket of Canada...great to source my alcohol from a hundred mile radius...and from a small family run business just discovered on a run through the okanagan valley...incredible drive and sensory cleanse...

    Berry season in the Midwest!  Strawberries on the way out, black raspberries in full swing, blueberries just barely starting, and blackberries to follow.  Glorious Mother Earth!  Thank you!

    Wild Strawberries and blackberries I don't cultivate and only pick enough for snacking fresh, cultivated blueberry bushes are only in second harvest so I will have enough for snacking and probably 2-4 loaves of blueberry bread.
    Black raspberries I have a wild stand that manage and that's where the bulk comes from. If I pick diligently I get about 3 struck quarts/day for 6-10 days, depending on the season.  The yeild stays pretty consistent, my picking varies and the fruit quality diminishes on a 3 year cycle.  At the end of the cycle the berries are small and tart, when I prune and they recover the berries are huge and sweet.  The tart berries make the best jelly.
    The amount I eat fresh and lay up varies, but this year I'm focused on making enough jelly to last the year and gift to those I love most.

    First summer squash is ready today or tomorrow and day lilies are in full bloom.
    What a glorious time of year!
