Birthday Round Up: Log Thing
“Quick lad, pipe me a log thing!” I have never seen such wanton, gratuitous use of a pipping bag in my life.

“A little farmhouse revival” in downtown Toronto
Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of being invited to dine at the Chef’s table at Marben, a cozy and cool restaurant specializing in the art of butchery and charcuterie. From what I understand, the imaginative and passionate kitchen staff of Marben are responsible for making nearly every single item that hits the table, right down to the bread and condiments. What makes things even better is the fact that most, if not all, of the produce and meats served are grown and purchased within 100km of Toronto, meaning guests are served the freshest ingredients, and local farmers are supported. Awesome!
This is one of those no-brainer foods and since I’m a vegetarian it’s a quick fix for an app.
The assembly line. A true invention of brilliance. One person in a line of many, doing one thing over and over all day long. Henry Ford introduced the world to mass produced efficiency. Everything from clothes and tents to appliances and books were produced in record numbers by the vast faceless hoards of assembly line workers.
And in the begining there was nothing. It was very boring. And lo, the big bang occurred-eth. Unto the universe, big bang begot the elements and the heavens. As the universe coalesced, primordial ooze, the very underpinning of life as we know it, was formed.
As you can clearly see, this dish is a tribute to Riddley Scotts sci-fi masterpiece, Alien (that’s the first one for those keeping score).
What can I say? Words fail me here. This is an amazing blend of form and function. Clearly, the four mini nubs of meaty mush goodness are an integral part of the ingestion of this work of art.
Straight from the bowels of an irate alien comes this wonderful and oh-so appetizing potato concoction. Note the wonderful and descriptive title. Note the wonderfully articulated swirls. All in and all another epic food scan.
Here we go with another food scan. This wonderful looking culinary asteroid is an aspic salad. While I do not doubt that the skill level required to make this epic creation is pretty high, the results are less then appetizing.
