I made this deli style tortellini salad with items from the fridge. Celery, onion, carrot, mushroom, green olives, parsley, Pecorino Romano and creamy Italian dressing. Marinating for a few hours before dinner. 🍽️

Looks delicious, Anita
🍽️ 🍜 At Mercato restaurant in Calgary last evening. The lighting was poor for these pics, but the food was outstanding: rigatoni alla gricia with sides of mushrooms and prosciutto-wrapped grilled asparagus. Savoured and loved every bite 😋

Fresh perilla leaves sparked a salad adventure. Used @hettymckinnon’s Cabbage & Pomelo Salad from Tenderheart but improvised with baby spinach + orange. Coconut-peanut crunch, lime, soy, and sesame—bright, spicy, unreal flavour payoff.

Green Tomato Mincemeat
Got baskets of green tomatoes after the first frost? Turn them into spiced Green Tomato Mincemeat - a traditional Nova Scotia preserve that becomes the best holiday pies and tarts.

Today's installment of #BooksI'veRead" THE METAMORPHOSIS by Franz Kafka. Surrealism was difficult for me to grasp as a young man, but this novel echoed, and still does. #booksky #skybrarians
