PopTarts and Bacon: Lucy returns
http://poptartsandbacon.blogspot.com/2011/04/lucy-returns.html
When we got Lucy, we didn't crate her at first when we were at work. She, like many pugs, and other dogs, developed separation anxiety. This manifested in many ways, the most amusing however, can be seen in the picture below. Twenty dollar pet bed from Wal-Mart - destroyed. So we began to crate her and haven't had many issues since. I mean, really, how can you get too mad at a face like this? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Poptartsandbacon [at] gmail [dot] com. Belonging to a neighbourhood.

Vegan Chocolate Avocado Cake. July 15, 2009. Ok… first of all, stop looking at me like that. Yea, I can see that crazy look on your face. But it’s me. The same person that brought you amazing Cream Cheese Cinnamon Rolls. And Perfect Lemon Pound Cake. We trust each other. We have an understanding. Just go with me on this. Yea… I got a few strange looks for that too. The avocado buttercream is a dash more strange. Yes, it’s bright green. Yes, the only fat in the buttercream is avocado meat...1/4 cup veg...

PopTarts and Bacon: Belonging to a neighbourhood
http://poptartsandbacon.blogspot.com/2011/04/belonging-to-neighbourhood.html
Belonging to a neighbourhood. The neighbourhood is extremely walkable, and there are many great places within walking distance - including the Scone Witch on Beechwood at MacKay. Last weekend before K and I went to go get a patio set for the backyard, we decided we needed a filling, quick, healthy breakfast. Off we went to the Scone Witch. I usually get the full brunch special, which is a full omelette with a piece of ham, but we were in a bit more of a rush that day, so I got the egg sconewitch (get it?

The ever elusive macaron. Blog (whom I now absolutely love by the way) about the ten macaron myths, and regained the confidence to try to make them myself. Macaron Recipe: Taken and messed with from the I 3 Macarons. 1 cup Almond Flour. 3/4 cup Icing Sugar. Food colouring and flavours - such as raspberry, are extras and totally not necessary. You can fill these suckers with anything you like). Put the batter into a piping bag, and pipe 2.5cm round circles on a baking sheet covered in a silpat or wax ...

PopTarts and Bacon: April 2011
http://poptartsandbacon.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
We're on a roll, can you tell? A few weeks ago, before we had to leave town, A and I decided we should go out for dinner. I told A he could choose the restaurant, which he begrudgingly agreed to do. I was expecting a reservation to one of our usual haunts, but A called me and told me to get ready - that we were going to Murray Street restaurant for dinner. 110 Murray St, Ottawa. I ended up with the pork (tenderloin? But enough with the location, I know you guys only care about the food! K and I both deci...

PopTarts and Bacon: The magic of a neighbourhood
http://poptartsandbacon.blogspot.com/2011/08/magic-of-neighbourhood.html
The magic of a neighbourhood. So, we have been gone for SO LONG because we bought a house, renovating a house, and are continuing to renovate this house. But. I've learned, or re-learned, the importance of neighbourhoods, and how they define different areas in this city. This past Saturday, I got to experience a new neighbourhood, and learn a bit more about this fair city that I live in. The cherry on this food tour pie was that the tour was of a hot hot hot area in Ottawa, Wellington West. These Edi...

PopTarts and Bacon: Um, hello?
http://poptartsandbacon.blogspot.com/2011/08/um-hello.html
Wow, has it really been three months since we posted? I guess it has. Well, we're back. Or I'm back. In any case, I have stuff to tell the internets about, and to heck with it if no one is listening! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). We are two twenty-somethings who moved, sight-unseen, to the "big city" of Ottawa. This blog is about our life, food, and random other things. And the dog.

Elvis was the King. The Spring Roll King! Badum bum. Yeah, I'm awesome. 508 Rideau Street, Ottawa. Since I've spent the last five years, before I moved to Vanier, living in Sandy Hill. Spring Roll King was always the "go-to" for the nights we ordered in. And, since they deliver here and it's still close, we continue to order from them. Not only is it close and familiar, it's totally delicious. Have you ever had one of "those days"? Fine Food Store and Catering. 419 Mackay Street, Ottawa. As shown by my s...
