Father's Day - Gourmet breakfast & Lunch


I cannot think of a better way to start father's day with a nice, homemade high quality breakfast. This was Jen's surprise to me on this special day.

We had lemon dill bread (from a local bakery in Paris, Ontario), dark-roasted, fair trade coffee, a parfait made with our own natural yogurt and fresh berries, orange low-acid tomatoes from a local farm sprinkled with herbs from our garden and sizzled with olive oil and a truffle omelet (we bought "a" truffle when we visited France a few months ago).

Since our breakfast was plentiful and we had a big dinner ahead of us, we decided to take it easy for lunch and we came up with this idea: a bbq pizza. We decided to use all our fresh produce from the market and our CSA farm to create this pizza. We wanted a Mediterranean flavour. The secret: brushing the dough with a mixture of olive oil, garlic and anchovies paste (anchovies need a public image work - most people have them in a Caesar's salad dressing but at the same time most would not dare speak the poor fish's name!).
