Daughter L insisted on us going to this take-out Japanese/Korean eatery called Fat Ninja Bite that she discovered. It is a small place, the food was delicious as pictured above. The portions are quite large. My favourite are the taro chips flavoured with nori (edible seaweed) and a dash of Himalayan sea salt.

In other news, I hope you survived the time change to Daylight Savings Time which happened in our area yesterday.  I was so tired at the end of the day.  We are expecting a snowstorm to start this evening and through Tuesday.  The good news last I heard was that it was downgraded from 8 inches of snowfall to 4 inches.

Baked KFC Recipe

We had a big snowstorm yesterday after a few days of deceptively 'mild' weather above freezing.  Son K's school closed in the afternoon. Husband M used the snowblower.

I found this wonderful article from NYTimes discussing Toronto's Ethnic Buffet and thought you might enjoy the read.

I noticed this organic black kale in the grocery store recently:

A couple of years ago, I got this Baked Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) Recipe from a fellow blogger who had found it on Pinterest. It is very popular in my house and I have simplified it with success. I thought I would share it today.


9 or 10 skinless chicken thighs

seasoning mix:

1/2 tsp salt
1 TBS Morton Season All seasoning salt
3/4 tsp pepper
2 tsp paprika
1 TBS oregano

Pre heat oven 350F.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, spread 2 TBS olive oil all over the paper. Coat chicken pieces with seasoning mix. Bake 15 mins per side. It is that simple. If you don't have Morton seasoning salt, you can use your favourite seasoning salt.

Mio liquid water enhancer

We had a major snowstorm yesterday.  M and I love to shovel for the exercise and we got good workouts yesterday.  By the fourth time out, it wasn't fun anymore and it was dark!  Not to mention our 2 year old snowblower wouldn't work.  M thought the engine was too cold.   The city was pretty much shut down and the roads were awful with cars stuck everywhere.  We haven't had much snow before this, and it is winter after all.  

For all the travellers out there, here is a beautiful video of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.  I've never been there but maybe I should add it to my bucket list.

I noticed this new product at Walmart recently. It's Mio water flavour enhancer of all things. So you just add a few drops of the product to your water I think. It comes in different flavours. Have you or do you think you would like to use it? I actually just enjoy plain water (and diet soda).
