Seafood salad

I've had this salad a couple of times at Milestones and have tried re-creating it a home also.  It'ts the grilled seafood salad:

I simply cook some salmon in a pan with olive oil and salt and pepper, sometimes some paprika, boil the shrimp and then toss it with chow mein noodles, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, sometimes mushrooms and then drizzle with olive oil, chardonnay, lemon juice and salt and pepper. Tastes quite similar and is much cheaper then the restaurant one

Vegetarian chili

Made this with Caro a while back and then made it again! It's almost more a ragout then a chili. We cut up to many sweet potatoes so we decided to make some sweet potato fries. Since Samir has a love for coconuts we decided to put some coconut oil, salt and then basil near the end. Delicious!

Taste of Thailand





This restaurant in Etobicoke was right across the  street from where I lived. They had a delicious spicy beef salad and also a curry pad thai that was amazing. Another regular dish was the panang chicken. The dishes often came with rice that they would serve in the shape of a heart :). I miss this place.
