Our Thanks Giving tradition is to avoid tradition... no turkey, no stuffing, just Canada's Wonderland and spicy snacks. After maxing out our adrenaline by riding the Behemoth we stopped in at Linda, for Mieng Kum and Crispy Duck.
Mieng Kum is a great example of how a few simple ingredients come together to create something incredible. I can never remember the name of leaf used to create this little pocket of fire, but you pile on chopped lime rind, shallots, peanuts, coconut, chilies, candied shrimp, something like an oyster sauce, and then pop the whole thing in your mouth. I can't describe the flavour, you'll just have to try it for yourself, but be warned... it's a mouth surprise, and the heat isn't for everyone. Have a beer close by!
If you can't make it up to Don Mills Mall, head over to their location on Gould, above the Salad King.

Favourite
No doubt about it, that headline is spelled for Cupcake, our favourite neighbour to the South.
Speaking of favourite, my mom had a colonoscopy today and she was quite hungry by dinnertime so I made her favourite shrimp risotto. Also starring fennel, carrot and tarragon. It's a normal risotto recipe except that I saute the shrimp in garlic first and add them back in at the end. Another secret is a high shrimp to rice ratio.
