Foodites

Connie Earl and I were approached by the Comox Valley Record newspaper to contribute to a monthly food page series they have developed. Connie was asked to do a wine review and I was asked to contribute recipes.
Connie and I thought we would take it one step further. We decided we would get together once a month and create a meal using local products and then we would actually write about it - the whole process, from gathering the ingredients at the market, choosing the wines and then enjoying the fruits of our labour. We buy two bottles of wine and we taste each wine with the dinner we've created, deciding which we prefer with the meal. Then we write about it.
The problem is, the newspaper has only so much space for us.
So we decided to create a blog elaborating on the article in the newspaper. At our foodites.blogspot.com you'll find more recipes and funny stories and anecdotes about our meals - for example, I forgot the tuna was on the barbecue this evening and I ended up totally overcooking it (whoops!). Doesn't matter how long you've cooked, you still screw up sometimes! Check it out.
