About Ginger Smoothy and Otto Pilot

I work from home in Northern Ontario doing tech support, to pay the bills. My boyfriend John and I love cooking and cycling together. I love cooking food that has alot of flavor by using fresh herbs and grinding my spices from the whole spice. I like stocking up on things and freezing seasonally. We make frequent trips to Toronto and Michigan to get supplies that are not available here . You know you are a foodie/cooking addict when you get more excited about a new recipe or kitchen gadget , than buying a new dress.

~Pork Curry and Feta Burgers~

So we made it back home after a great ride on our bikes out at Hiawatha today, and I just couldn’t wait to get cooking.  As John fired up the barbecue, I got out the meat which I had mixed earlier, and put into the  refrigerator, waiting  to be made into patties.   I made some great whole wheat burger buns, ( I will post the recipe  later), and link to this page.  Sweet potato fries are a good go with .  I love how the curry and coriander mingle with the feta.  Gotta go now .  Time for some eats!

My Day Off

I love my days off.  Especially when the sun is shining and the ground is dry.  This means it’s bicycle riding day.  Over the summer , John and I have run into some interesting things on our bicycle adventures, and we didn’t have to travel far from home to find them.  If you look hard enough, adventures and interesting things can be found anywhere.

 Just open your eyes and look around 

In other words, take time to ” Smell the Roses” .
