We're Moving...What To Do With All Those Magazines?

It's official. We're moving this summer...not sure where in Halifax yet, but it's time to move on.

Don't get me wrong, it's been a fabulous three years living in a converted convent, overlooking the harbor, so close to the Naval Base that I get to hear O Canada every morning at 8 AM and only a block from a foodie heaven - The Hydrostone Market. Great appliances to play with in the kitchen (particularly awesome for one who loves to cook), a fantastic landlady. Really, it's hard to budge, but I really have been missing a BBQ and a little patch of green to grow some herbs at least.

Of course the thought of ACTUALLY moving, packing up all our stuff...I'm tired just thinking about what to keep and ...dare I say it...what needs to go. I decided to start with all those cooking magazines I've had from the mid to late '90's (I got rid of earlier issues before moving from Toronto).

Fortunately for me, I started with Cooking Light Magazine (taking up half a shelf). They have this wonderful partnership with myrecipes where they store recipes on line and you can create your own recipe box to refer to whenever - and wherever you wish - even creating folders for appetizers, soups. or whatever works for you. It's awesome! I'm hoping that the other magazines do something similar.

Apple Horseradish Glazed Salmon

I'm also trying to use what I have on hand, so this salmon dish really got my attention. I used some of my favorite local jelly from Tangled Garden, probably my most favorite Nova Scotia place to visit. And fortunately for me, Beverley brings some of her awesome herb jellies, vinegars and oils to the Saturday Farmers Market, because I used up all of my apple sage jelly and probably should pick up her horseradish jelly too. Dinner was delicious.

As for tonight's dinner...the chicken with sherry vinegar sauce sounds great too.
