Pot Calls The Kettle Black

October 27, 2025

Pot Calls The Kettle Black - jim Young “Our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies, they are our allies. We should beware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security and the entire free world - all while cynically waving the American flag.” - Ronald Reagan, 1988 Trump called an anti-tariff advertisement, recently produced by the Ontario Government, a “fraud” and accused Canada of trying to “illegally influence the United States Supreme Court”, which will meet in a couple of weeks to decide if Trump’s tariff’s are constitutional. Really Trump? Pot? Kettle? Black? Does any of that ring a bell to you? But if Canada can do anything to help the United States Supreme Court come to a fair and just decision, then I say… more power to Canada. After seeing the advertisement for the first time, Trump had commented, “If I was Canada I would take that ad also.” Now, as a Canadian I would normally take a statemen...

jim's Cheesy Christmas Wreath OR jim’s Traditional Cheese Ball OR jim’s Individual Cheese Balls

December 01, 2022

Cheese balls are always a hit at parties. You can make them up a day ahead and then serve them with crackers for the enjoyment of all. But when you’re making a cheese ball for Christmas, why not turn your “Cheese Ball” into a “Christmas Wreath” in keeping with the season? This will really impress your guests or your host and their guests if this is your contribution to someone else’s party. Both recipes use the same ingredients. Or with the addition of some crushed Ritz Crackers you can also turn this recipe into smaller Cheese Balls to be presented as individual servings. Stuff Required: 16 oz cream cheese (2 x 8 oz/250 gm packs) 8 oz sharp cheddar cheese (1 x 8 oz/250 gm tub of MacLaren’s Imperial Sharp Cheese) 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce 1 tbsp onion, finely chopped 1 dash of hot sauce 3 tbsp red bell pepper, finely chopped, divided 1 dash red hot peppers flakes 3 tsp parsley Ritz crackers, crushed (optional for preparation as “Individual Cheese Balls” preparation. Do This: jim’s...

Bacon & Tomato Sandwich Toasted One Side

Two questions will inevitably come to mind. “Why?” and “How?” WHY? First the “why? W hy toast the bread on just one side? Before we can answer this question we should first ask, “Why toast the bread at all?” Aside from toasting stale bread to make it more presentable, toasting bread puts it through a scientific process called the “Maillard Reaction” . Without getting bogged down on exactly what the “Maillard Reaction '' is, let's just accept that it's the same scientific process that occurs when searing steaks, frying dumplings, baking cookies and biscuits and even toasting marshmallows as well as many other foods to give them their distinctive flavours. It’s a bit like caramelisation. If that’s not a good enough explanation for you, you are welcome to peruse this chart or Google the “Maillard Reaction” for yourself while the rest of us are enjoying our “Bacon & Tomato Sandwiches Toasted One Side.” The “Maillard Reaction” aside, some sandwiches are still best...
