This evening my wife and I went for a walk in Point Pleasant Park along Halifax Harbour. The sky says it all—the calm before the (rain)storm which is supposed to start overnight. It’ll be a wet weekend, if the forecast holds true. Hope everyone has a great one!

"require parental consent for children under 16 to have a different name or different pronouns used at school" oh you mean forcing trans kids to out themselves to their parents in the hope of maybe getting some comfort and respect at school. and you mean forcing teachers to misgender and deadname kids whose parents won't sign off on their trans kid being respected. I'm lighting higgs on fire with my mind

CHEF ILONA: MEXICAN STREET CORN PASTA SALAD

Pastas are an easy way to feed a crowd. Serve it up simply on a platter in family-style fashion, or plated for a lingering estival repast. One of the precious parts of summer dining in Canada is that we can enjoy our meals either indoors or al fresco. Dining al fresco can be as elaborate or as simple as  you like, and is about the experience of unwinding. 

Mexican street corn, or “elote” is a staple of the street food scene in Mexico City. The word elote comes from the Nahuatl word for corn, and this dish is thought to have originated with the Aztecs. Elote is grilled corn on the cob covered in melted butter, mayo, chili powder, cotija cheese, and lime.

This recipe is a great place to use the glut of herbs in your summer garden. I think it’s almost impossible to have too many fresh soft herbs. If you have chives or edible flowers in your garden, add in to the mix with reckless abandon.

*********** Noodle size is important to consider for each pasta dish you make. It is often better to have a noodle that is of a similar size the rest of the ingredients in the dish, so you can enjoy a bit of everything in one bite.

Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad Chef Ilona Daniel Serves 6

 1 lb short pasta noodles (such as ditali, rotini, fiorelli, fusilli, or other as preferred), cooked according to package directions

1 cucumber, sliced in half-way lengthwise, seeded and sliced into half-moons)

½ cup cilantro, roughly chopped

½ - 1 cup mild pickled jalapenos, chopped

½ cup red onion, small dice

1 cup cotija (or feta cheese), crumbled

3 cobs of corn

6 radishes, sliced thinly

3 green onions, sliced thinly on a bias for garnish

Dressing:

1 ½ cups sour cream

½ cup mayonnaise

½ cup lime juice, freshly squeezed

1-2 Tablespoons Hot Sauce (I prefer a Mexican hot sauce here)

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

2 teaspoon ground cumin

2 Tablespoons cilantro, chopped

 To prepare the dressing, combine all ingredients in a bowl, and stir to combine.

When tossing the noodles and other ingredients with the dressing, reserve ¼ cup to drizzle over the top of the salad as part of the garnish.

 For the salad:

 To enhance the visual appeal of the dish, reserve a little of all the vegetables to arrange over the top of the dressed pasta salad.

 In a large frying pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Add corn to the pan and cook until the corn is slightly browned.

–OR--

Brush corn with oil and season with salt to taste. Grill over medium-high heat for 5-10 minutes, turning throughout, until kernels begin to char. Allow to cool slightly before using a sharp knife to cut kernels from the cobs.

 In a large bowl, toss all the ingredients (except for the vegetables and cheese you’re saving for garnish) with all but ¼ cup of the dressing. Place pasta salad onto a plate and arrange with remaining vegetables and cheese. Drizzle remaining dressing over the top, and if desired, feel free to sprinkle a small amount of chili powder over the surface of the salad for added depth.

Buildings can fit anywhere… when you are creative enough. — This building is in Salvage, Newfoundland where the coastline is rugged enough that many buildings require stilts. — Weirdly it makes me think of Delia Deetz’ sculptures in the movie Beetlejuice and how they came to life… maybe there’s a fantasy/horror/comedy movie in fishing stages crawling across the landscape? Maybe not. 🤔
