Firstly let's start off with what's going on at CFMU this week!
The Raise Your Voice fundraiser at CFMU starts this Friday, so make sure to call in to donate, or even just give the blokes at the phones a happy word or two! They'll appreciate it, I assure you.
This is an annual fundraiser, and helps the radiostation out a whole bunch to fix old equipment, & provide an independent, local source of media. Without it, we wouldn't get to hear some of the awesome shows that are available... like our show... yay!!
You can make a donation online or phone in at (905)528 - 9888
Now that we've gotten that finished, let's talk FOOD.
You know those nights where you're hungry, but feelin' kinda lazy. Don't want to leave the house because it's too cold, or you're too busy procrastinating?
Sometimes this is best remedied with some crackers and FANCY CHEESE.
Sandra and I went on Tuesday to Hamilton's Farmer's Market on a whim, and picked up 3 different cheeses - Cambonzola, English Stilton & Canadia Oka. We did eat some of it on the Wednesday, but still had some leftover for some sophisticated snacking.
Also we made a couple sandwiches for ourselves - Salami, Swiss, and a mixture of arugula and spinach. I gotta say, one of the spiciest sandwiches we've had in a while. The dijon didn't help, either. But hey, a good sandwich all around. Did I mention this sandwich was also sophisticated?
We don't eat bread very often. In fact, we still had practically a full loaf of bread, so it may be a little past its expiry date. But that's nothing a toaster can't fix. MMmmm stale fridge-bread.
During our stint at the farmer's market, I also happened to pick up a pomelo. Certainly one of the largest citrus-type fruits I've ever seen, it was only a dollar and some change for something that's about the size of a child's head. Or, I dunno, an abnormally large grapefruit.
Don't let the size of the fruit confuse you though, the rind is really thick, more or less an inch. Peeling it can be quite a task. I'm sure there's some sort of technique to it, but ripping and tearing is most likely the general idea of it.
When you remove the pith, the inside is much like a white grapefruit in terms of texture, although pulp vesicles are much larger. For those of you who aren't a fan of the grapefruit aftertaste, this is a fruit you might like to try. The pomelo has a much milder, sweeter taste than grapefruit. Also, it's less acid. Certainly something to try if you're in the mood for something a little more exotic.
Anyway, make sure to listen to us this Monday! And give the radiostation a call!
