Welcome to SpicyMayo.ca – a Canadian food blogging outfit based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. We started talking about and planning this blog with our many friends who work as cooks, waiters, bartenders, bakers, etc. There are a lot of food ideas and experiences we can’t properly share though creating food in our various jobs and rants and venting which, while may be hilarious or justified, can only be shared anonymously. So here it is: family dinners, secret recipes, miserable failures, and more. Tuck in, salute, cheers, and as the Greek say bottoms up!
SPICY MAYO
Stuff about food and food-related stuff
Could Wonderbread go tits up?
Hostess, the innovators of synthetic bread science who brought the world Wonder Bread and Twinkies, is preparing to file for bankruptcy protection in the United States. Interesting.
The Knife Maker
The third installment in the “Made by Hand” series featuring knife maker Joel Bukiewicz of Cut Brooklyn. I recommend watching this sucker in HD full screen mode.
Rosehip Syrup
My place of work is nestled along the river and landscaped with a wide variety of native trees. I often see people collecting grape leaves and berries and was inspired to make use of the scads of rosehips just outside my window.
Happy Thanksgiving
My little garden experiment yielded mixed results. Although the fava beans were lost to aphids (and neglect), I produced beautiful two wonderful varieties of carrots: Dragon Purple and Belgian White. My Bull’s Blood beets are equally lovely and will be a nice addition to our Thanksgiving dinner.
Oxfam Charity Dinner(term used loosely!)
Wednesday, September the 14th we are asking for your participation in our(becoming) legendary Japadog Charity Night. Megan and I have been so busy launching our new restaurant, and we have been looking forward to a charity party to support Oxfam and their work with the east African food crisis. Contribute by purchasing a Japadog and a delicious Moosehead brew, 100% of your money will be donated to Oxfam. See you then!-Todd
Duck Duck Goose
Things are coming together in Todd and Megan’s new venture, Duck Duck Goose. Follow their construction blog for the latest news, possible menu items and pics of the new place in progress!
Lemon Olive-Oil Cake
We celebrated my dad’s birthday with this seemingly sophisticated, yet entirely unpretentious cake.
Weczeria sneak peak
Dan Walker hosted a small cocktail tasting party at Weczeria’s new location on Broadway Avenue. The capable, good natured (and patient) bartenders poured cocktails as we toasted the promising new space. I had best intentions of making notes about the cocktail list but suffice to say after enjoying the refreshing Outlook, feeling the Love, tasting Success, a surprising Singapore Sling and an Old Fashioned, my memory started to get a bit fuzzy. The 48 seat restaurant is excrutiatingly close to opening and I’m eager to post up at the bar for a meal. I’m excited to see what they will produce from the improved kitchen facilities and taste my homie Kyle’s cooking!
Hi, I was interested to discover your blog as I have been interviewing and writing profiles of culinary entrepreneurs and businesses in Saskatoon for my blog – http://www.wanderlustandwords.blogspot.com. I’d welcome any suggestions for people or places to profile. Thanks!
