If you’re in the mood for real Italian food (not frozen pizza or spaghetti in a can) Terroni is be the place for you! Affordable prices, a pleasant atmosphere and food that’s very simple yet extremely tasty make this restaurant a great spot for dinner. With two locations in downtown Toronto (Queen west and Adelaide east) and one in uptown (st Clair and Yonge) this restaurant makes a great beginning for a night out on the town.
Our never ending quest to keep our diets as local and as natural as possible has brought us to Andrew’s Scenic Acres for some pick-your-own strawberries. It’s location just outside of Mississauga makes it one of the most accessible farms in the West end of Toronto and the place is definitely designed to attract the masses. They offer pony and tractor rides, tether ball courts and a severely busy ice cream stand. Also, lots and lots of parking, a winery, hot dog stand, refreshments, freshly baked “farm goods” and other amenities that ensure everyone has everything they need. It seems a little too commercial but they had beautiful strawberries that made up for the shortcomings.
Here we go with our first pickling date of the season!
Asparagus is out in full force and on a pretty solid whim, we decided to stock up and rip into a pickling frenzy.
As a housewarming gift, we received heirloom tomato seeds from a good friend of ours. I’ve never actually tried starting tomatoes from seed before now, so it was a bit of a learning experience. I think I may have started them too late, but the plants are in the ground now, so we’ll see how they go.
Seasonal and organic food is very rapidly making a comeback in today’s culinary society, so I figured it would be absolutely necessary to discuss (at least once a month) the fruit or veggie that is being celebrated at that moment. Since it’s almost mid-April and the weather’s been exceptionally nice this year, I’m considering this to be Asparagus and Rhubarb month!!!!! Just in case you may not be familiar with the two, I’ll divulge some hidden secrets I’ve recently researched on these two wonderful spring goodies…
