Stage fright!
Excited and honoured - Nature's Way Farm and Tria Culinary Studio won the Agricultural Business award last night at the CV Chamber of Commerce 2009 Annual Community Awards.
Congratulations to everyone who was nominated, it was a really great evening.
I'd like to say thank you to everyone in the community who has come out to support us over the past year and thank you to those who nominated us. I'm so excited about 2010!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, there's no where else in the world I'd rather operate Tria than here in the Comox Valley.
Thank you!

Christmas morning cocktail
Blue Moon Soleil Ginger Cocktail
Serves 6
We serve this cocktail often at Tria’s Full Moon Feasts and dining events. Try
adding a cinnamon stick and whole cloves to the sugar syrup for a unique
version of a mulled wine. It makes a great breakfast cocktail ...
Ingredients:
3-inch piece of fresh ginger, sliced thin and lightly pressed to release juices
½ cup water
½ cup sugar
1 bottle Blue Moon Soleil
Sparkling wine or sparkling water
Fresh ginger, julienned to garnish
Method:
1. In a small pot, combine the ginger, water and sugar. Bring to a boil;
reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Turn the heat off and let the
ginger sit in the sugar syrup for an hour (overnight is better). Strain the
ginger and set syrup aside until ready to use. The syrup will keep covered
in the fridge for several weeks.
2. Pour 2 tsp of the ginger syrup into 6 champagne flutes; pour 4 oz of Soleil
and top with sparkling wine or sparkling water and julienned ginger.
3. Enjoy!
