First batch using my new baguette pan. I think I should have left them in another minute or so, but the house smells awesome.. #winnipeg #baking #bread

Kinda almost felt like Spring for a few hours today in Winnipeg… called for a burger. #winnipeg #burger #cheeseburger #bacon

Hard to know what to say. It's only 4pm, maybe there will be a hat trick 3rd announcement before the weekend starts... www.ctvnews.ca/winnipeg/art...

Winnipeg City council continues to inspire confidence... www.ctvnews.ca/winnipeg/art...

First attempt at a rustic rye loaf. This recipe has molasses, and man, straight out of the oven that is one crispy crust. Waiting for bread to cool is always the hardest part… #bread #baking #winnipeg #homecooked #ryebread

Tired of posting pictures of my dinner. Years back, I pursued (and earned) accreditations in Glamour & Figure Study (Art Nude) photography… a few years after that I earned my Masters Designation in Commercial Photography, Fashion (MPC). #artnudephotography #artnude #photography #figurestudy

Throwback to this day in 2019 - great team to put this look together. Has a little #billyidol vibe if you ask me. #winnipeg #fashion #art #model #hairstylist #mua

That’s a big boy! #winnipeg #cooking #homemade #lasagna

Seven years to the day since this asshat came to live with us. Not much has changed… still complaining about everything….all the time. #flashback #cats

Simple dinner today. Argentine Shrimp on a bed of creamy ‘orzortto’ (orzo cooked at a low simmer in chicken stock and with a little cream and Parmesan) topped with fresh chives, a tomato concasse and a drizzle of Sicilian lemon balsamic. #winnipeg #seafood #cooking #fusion

Smoked pork loin with French beans, carrots and a port wine / fig balsamic reduction. I was too lazy to bake bread today… #winnipeg #cooking #foodie

Felt like a soup day. Potato leek topped with fresh chives and crispy bacon, with a home made butter bun to clean out the bowl.. #winnipeg #cooking #homemade #soup #baking

I roasted a chicken on the weekend, and we want to make chicken BLT sandwiches for dinner tonight.... so behold my first attempt at crispy baguette buns....

Blueberry pancakes seemed like a good idea for Valentines Day breakfast. #winnipeg #foodie #blueberry #pancakes

Fresh butter buns, smoked St. Louis cut pork ribs, and deli style coleslaw. Not bad for a Wednesday. #bbq #winnipeg #cooking #foodie #smokedmeat #ribs #pork

Not likely, no. 🤔

One panini, two panini, three panini - FOUR! #winnipeg #freshbaked #buns

Not sure if I ever posted this on here. Back in the day…2015 - ‘Divinity’s Toll’ was the end product of some amazing people. No AI, and very little photoshop. The wings are real… I still find feathers in the studio once in a while. #winnipeg #photographer #fantasy #art

A little penne dish with a lemon & caper pan sauce, and leftover roast chicken from the weekend. No fresh herbs for this one, so some dried thyme and dill… not too shabby…. #winnipeg #cooking #homemade

I guess I could just buy buns, but the sodium and fat are through the roof on grocery store bread. These just hit home…. #winnipeg #baking #buns #homemade

I almost forget I used to be a photographer... going through some older shoots for shots that didn't make the first cut. This was a little play date using constant light and flash to introduce some motion blur. #photography #model #photoshoot

My fusion take on Spanish rice with Argentinian shrimp…. Couldn’t easily find any saffron, so we’re working with smoked paprika and tomato paste. #winnipeg #cooking #rice #shrimp

All finished up - really nice mellow smoke on this batch. #winnipeg #smoking #bacon #homecooked

Unfortunately I’ve been down with a tooth infection since New Year’s. At least I got this pork belly curing before it got too bad. An hour or two cold smoking with apple, and then a hot smoke with cherry is the plan. #winnipeg #homemade #bacon

Officially done 2025 Christmas baking… I think I went through two full pounds of butter in less than 2 weeks. My Mother In Law has a sweet tooth - if these don’t cut it I give up…. #winnipeg #holidaybaking #christmas #baking

Jingle bells is ‘explicit’? Anyway. Merry Christmas Winnipeg. 

Egg nog streusel cake fresh from the oven. The usual suspects of cinnamon & nutmeg of course. And I also spiked the streusel with Amaretto and the cake batter with Southern Comfort. Happy Holidays! 🎄 #winnipeg #baking #cake #foodsky #holidaybaking

I usually critique myself by asking “would I be happy if I ordered this in a restaurant?”. The answer is ‘hell yes!” - paired with a little mango chutney, these were awesome. My wife actually scarfed two of them - so I will call this a win! #winnipeg #foodsky #patties #baking #curry #pastry

We're going to call these 'rustic' - hopefully they are tasty no matter how they look. Ground pork, curry, ginger and a nice blend of other spices with a little cumin. Man I suck at making baked goods look 'pretty'.. #baking #patties #foodsky #winnipeg

Pan seared sriracha maple salmon, green beans, and parmesan roasted potatoes. #winnipeg #seafood #cooking #foodsky

Earlier this morning on Shorehill just off of St. Anne's. Seriously people, give the plows room to work! It's like they have a death wish. #winnipeg #blizzard #baddrivers #winnipegdrivers

Needed a little pasta after shovelling all that bloody snow… #winnipeg #cooking #foodsky #pasta

Spinach and ricotta cannelloni with roasted red pepper and zucchini topped with fresh parm and basil. Cheese is getting a teeny bit expensive, but I still buy the Tre Stelle for dishes like this.

What a life.. #caturday #tabbytude

French toast from the #challah braid I made earlier in the week. Some fresh blueberries, maple syrup & bacon. 😋 #wnnipeg #cooking #foodsky

Apparently, as a male, once you hit the big 5-0 you fall into a certain ad demographic? Am I supposed to click on the 'dating' site ad first, then the Viagra, and the Aleve last? No ads for hair loss treatment or adult diapers yet, so I guess I'm doing ok.

Quiche me you fool. #winnipeg #cooking

We're going to a potluck in a couple weeks, so I decided to try something a bit fancy. I need to work on my braiding skills, and I think I let it overproof... but not bad for a first attempt. Of course, I won't know until I can slice it and shove it in my face. 😁 #winnipeg #bread #baking #challah

Smoked cheddar jalapeño cornbread just came out. Baby backs are wrapped to finish up, and the coleslaw is made. 😋

For the past year, everything else in life has taken priority in my life. That includes self care, hobbies, etc. But I think things are calmed down, and I am determined to restart portrait and fashion photography in the New Year. From a late 2024 shoot with Amanda. #winnipeg #photography #portrait

Does anyone else in Winnipeg know to use signal lights (much less properly) in a roundabout? #ffs #winnipegdrivers #learntodrive

I'm still a Photographer... I think. A concept alt Fashion image with one of my favourite models Tori (retired). I'm shaped like a potato, so it amazes me how someone can hit (and hold) a pose like this. Here's to future shoots.... #winnipegmodel #winnipegphotographer #fashion #alt #photography

It's not that I have an issue with people using a leaf blower to clear snow. I do it myself sometimes. But every 20 mins is getting excessive... and I'm starting to wonder how far I could shove a 24v cordless up my neighbours ass.... #winnipeg #snow

Busy day in the kitchen. Bacon wrapped meatloaf smoked with Cherry wood, and accompanied by garlic Parmesan mashed potatoes and green beans… yum!

Burn in and seasoning complete. It’ll never be this clean again…. #Winnipeg #smoker #cooking #smokedmeat

Another batch of Pooh Bread (Honey Oatmeal) #winnipeg #baking #bread

Potato leek soup topped with fresh chives, and my home made smoked bacon. And of course, paired with the Pooh bread I made earlier today! Yum! #winnipeg #food #homecooked #scratchmade #foodie #soup #bread

I'll try to start posting here more often. Kinda lost interest after the Federal election, & Social Media (regardless of platform) is filled to the brim with people displaying their ignorance and stupidity like a badge of honour. Felt like in the early 2000's we had turned a corner - not so much.

A loaf of Pooh bread fresh from the oven!! Starting some soup soon - seems like a good day for fresh bread and home made soup! #winnipeg #cooking #baking #homebaked #bread
