MACHE SALAD

The other day at Sobey's I came across a clamshell packed salad that was new to me. Looked like baby something.

Mâche Rosettes from Epic Roots in California? Let's try it. My favorite leafs up to that point were clearly Baby Arugula, but I am now hooked on this new introduction to Calgary's shops.

Originally from France where it's also called Lamb's lettuce, Epic Roots started to grow these greens in Salinas. This company sounds like a winner, if you read their story on the website: www.epicroots.com

The salad is very buttery and really, all of a sudden Arugula feels like a hardy winter green to me.
So let me tell you, if you are looking for a nice green salad for the season, try this one. I just added some Tomato and Avocado, a very mild dressing and everbody enjoyed that salad.

H1N1 VACCINATION - YES OR NO

Personally I am in the NO column. I am just curios what other people think.
Needless to say, below headline is not making me feel warm and cozy about getting the shot.

Great way to boost your immune system....

ANOTHER GLUTEN FREE SANDWICH

The other day I had breakfast at Bruno's house, which after many discussions ended up being lunch as well (we do have different opinions on a variety of things). Sandra made us a fantastic smoked meat sandwich, which she told me she found at COSTCO.
Ha. I had to replicate it for my family in a gluten free version of course. Dunn's of Montreal sells smoked brisket meat in convenient little pouches that make a PERFECT smoked meat sandwich.

I used GF Patisserie's cheese bread ( I know, it's not rye), schmeared some mustard over it, added some pickles and done! A great Sunday lunch.
