Gung Haggis Fat Choy 2006

Submitted by Roland on Sun, 01/22/2006 - 23:52

Hard to believe, but Gung Haggis Fat Choy 2006 was our 5th in a row (we have been at every dinner since 2002).

Rocking food and rocking music and rocking people.

Every year we meet new people and bond over haggis and yummy Chinese banquet food (which is better every year) and Auld Lang Syne.

Submitted by Roland on Sun, 01/15/2006 - 23:21

Stephanie the owner of Libby's (VanEats Libby's review) told me that by popular demand they are re-opening during the evenings starting January 19th when they are kicking it off with some complimentary bevvies and appies. As the youth say, sweet! Looking forward to some delicious takeout from Libby's as well as occasionally eating there when we have a babysitter!

Savoury Pie Crust

Submitted by Barb on Fri, 01/06/2006 - 13:59

I love savoury pies. When I made tourtiere at Christmas, I finally realized that making savoury pies isn't such a big production after all and I should make them more often. This savoury pie crust is hardy yet flaky and would suit a variety of fillings especially those flavoured with herbs.

Savoury Pie Crust

Submitted by Barb on Thu, 01/05/2006 - 21:16

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups cake flour
2 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup cold butter
1/3 cup ice water
2 Tbsp. white vinegar

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, cake flour, thyme and salt.
Cut butter into 1/2" pieces and add to flour mixture. Using your fingers rub in butter until butter is the size of small peas.
Combine ice water and vinegar. Gradually add to flour mixture until a loose dough forms.

Luscious Chocolate Mousse

Submitted by Barb on Thu, 01/05/2006 - 21:07

January probably isn't the best time to post a recipe for a rich, luscious chocolate mousse as a lot of us are trying to work off all the goodies consumed during the holidays. But I made this mousse for dessert for Christmas and it's a winner. Not overly sweet, terribly rich. Super easy. Because this mousse is fairly firm, it would also make a good filling for a genoise roll or a chocolate sponge cake.
