Focus on Florida Food - Part II

by Peter aka Nosher of the North @ Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007.

Josh’s Organic Market - Hollywood, Florida
After our 1-nighter in the Gulf Coast of Florida, where we saw a memorable Leon Redbone concert and enjoyed a good meal of local fish and seafood, Noshette of the North and I drove back to the Atlantic coast along the famous “Alligator Alley”, where we saw plenty of gators […]

Eating local in the sunshine state - Part I

by Peter aka Nosher of the North @ Wednesday, March 28th, 2007.

Noshette and I packed up the sled dogs and shed our parkas to spend some time in warm, sunny Florida. We were there to visit with my mom and to relax a bit before I had rotator-cuff surgery, but also to eat some good food.
 
(Here is a shot of Noshette and a friend sitting by the beach […]

Montreal profile: A tale of tofu

by Peter aka Nosher of the North @ Wednesday, March 14th, 2007.

Eating ethically isn’t especially easy.
For one thing, it means cutting down on my meat consumption, at least until I find more sources of meat that my stomach can stomach, now that it is actually attached to my brain. Also, Noshette is a born-again omnivore and it still getting her meat-feet wet, so we are eating tofu […]

Quebec election 2007: Time to vote with your vote.

by Peter aka Nosher of the North @ Wednesday, March 7th, 2007.

Residents of the United States (and many politically ignorant Canadians) may not know about the upcoming Quebec provincial election, but on March 26 over 7.5 million Quebecers will decide which group of politicians will be making the rules for the next little while. I commented last week on some campaign posters put up by the […]

Quebec Election strives for a “plus vert” Quebec (official English translation not available at this time)

by Peter aka Nosher of the North @ Wednesday, February 28th, 2007.

A provincial election was called here last week, which would be the equivalent of state elections in the USA. It will be held on March 26, 2007, and the campaigns have obviously begun. There are 3 major political parties in Quebec: The Liberals, the “Parti Quebecois”, and the ADQ, which is an acronym for “Action […]

Survey: What do you get in your CSA basket?

by Peter aka Nosher of the North @ Wednesday, February 21st, 2007.

I am very happy to be eating again.
I am also pretty thankful that my CSA has taken me back.
During the summer months, I looked forward to each and every Thursday, which was the day when I could pick up my box of local organic vegetables. I never knew what I would be eating over the […]

Spreading the seed & detox summary

by Peter aka Nosher of the North @ Wednesday, February 14th, 2007.

This past Sunday was the 7th Annual Seed Fair at the Montreal Botanical Gardens. I guess I missed the first six editions so I was happy when my friend Marc asked me to join him for this one. I always save some seeds each year so I was glad to have the opportunity not only […]

Detox

by Peter aka Nosher of the North @ Wednesday, February 7th, 2007.

I am about to turn a corner in my life. A sharp corner. This isn’t a story about eating organic food, or even local food. This is a story about not eating any food at all.
Besides eating to survive, I have been getting more deeply involved in food and eating for about 20 years. It […]

I have worms in my apartment!!

by Peter aka Nosher of the North @ Wednesday, January 31st, 2007.

My friend Kate gets the willies from creepy-crawly things. Of course, my friend Kate is also a landscape architect. I suppose there is a possibility that she became a landscape architect specifically to battle her demons, but in the end, they still give her the heebie-jeebies. When Kate heard that I was […]

Winter realities in Montreal, Canada

by Peter aka Nosher of the North @ Sunday, January 28th, 2007.

This has been a pretty hard week for me.
You see, I’ve spent the last two or three years getting more acquainted with the environment and sustainable food sources, but I never really felt accountable to anyone but myself — and I was a pretty forgiving person, to myself at least. I tried to do […]

Letter from Montreal: A visit to Jean-Talon Market

by Peter aka Nosher of the North @ Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007.

Dairy Queen here: To me, one of the best parts of being involved in this blog is getting to read my five fellow Ethicureans’ points of view, hailing from different parts of the country and with varying preoccupations. In this case, I think, many cooks just makes for more interesting soup.
We would love to […]
