It's often wonky.

Klik (and Kam) are the Canadian versions of Spam and quite popular
in the far north where one does one's grocery shopping in one
massive summer order per year. Because it's a marine delivery system
it's know here as The Sealift.

Consequently I see fusion recipes like "Klik and fried bannock eggs
Benedict" on my Arctic Kitchen mail list. I could supply the recipe
but I imagine the title is all you need to emulate it.

A tale of two wines. It was the best of vines; it was the worst of
vines ...

Bonterra Cabernet Sauvignon 2017: Bought for the Christmas holiday
season but held to Roslind's birthday half a year later. A lovely
balanced wine with subtle dark fruit notes (as opposed to some of
the fruit bombs that come out of California) with moderate tannins
and oak. By Fetzer Vineyards, Hopland, CA
 
Diabolica red: A gift from a well meaning friend with no taste
buds. A really nasty B.C. wine that somehow qualifies as VQA
although for the life of me I don't know how. It was semi-sweet
which was very offputting and tasted like vodka mixed with cherry
Kool-Aid. Avoid, even if free.



Cheers

Jim
