the little red chicken

If I died and came back as a cheese it would definitely be a smoked cheddar.

    Week Four: Wild Mint Chocolate (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    The fourth and final installment of Ice Cream Fridays in August is upon us, and goddamn. Didn’t want to go out like this, all trade wars and departures of earth angels, but here we are. Not to mention being late, but you guys, summer finally decided to grace us with her presence for one whole week, and I had to jump on it.(Hand on heart, found out Dolly Parton had died on our way back from the first 30 degree day on the beach, so I’m convinced she had a word with someone, thanks queen.)But’s let

    Week Three: Basil Stracciatella (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    I’d love to say this ice cream was lovingly prepared with basil from our own backyard suburban oasis (by which I mean two raised beds and a greenhouse the size of a mini closet), but the truth is I bought a plant at Sobeys after our own small patch bit the dust. Before I could even make a proper batch of pesto. The carrots are doing okay but the tomatoes are green and small, the crows have eaten the zucchini, and we forgot to put in the potatoes till it was too late. It is safe to assume I would

    Excerpt

    I inherited two things from my Nanny Kean: crippling anxiety, and the love of a good caramel tart. More often than not, spelled “carmel” like it’s pronounced around here, because what’s the point of that extra ‘A’ when we all know spelling means nothing anymore, just ask my 10-year-old who doesn’t even learn it in school.“Carmel” tart or “carmel” pastry is a Newfoundland dessert that’s particular to Bonavista North. Tons of NL’ers aren’t even awar

    Ice Cream Fridays in August: Week One! (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    I’ve thought a lot about this, and I can honestly say that my electric ice cream maker is the most used kitchen appliance after my espresso machine. It is the thing I love most after the two other humans living in this house. I have ruined myself to the point of not being able to eat store-bought ice cream from a tub. I will shock myself with my snobbiness if I order it at a fancy restaurant and it’s too grainy, lacks salt, has a weird mouthfeel. I’ll keep this to myself, or depending on the com

    Hello (Sort of) Summer! (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    I guess we’re having what you’d call a bit of a nostalgic season here on the island. Not quite as notoriously bad as the infamous summer of 2015, which was cold enough for an epidemic of geriatric (as doctors love to tell your old ass) pregnancies, my own included. This one feels more old-timey, before summers started to feel end-of-timey. Back when the odd July was cold and rainy, and a sunny day was a celebratory event. When the local news reported things like, “Rare sunny day in metro St. Joh
