Carol McDonald is a former Winnipeg journalist now living in Victoria who is passionate about making good bread. She has tinkered with and tweaked recipes to try and get close to the City rye bread flavour she fondly remembers, and kindly shares her recipe, Winnipeg rye bread for the home baker. Taste Tester Notes: A delightful rye bread with good flavour and texture, chewy crust and crunchy bits of rye. I couldn't find coarse rye meal, and used whole rye kernels (available at Vita Health) that I chopped in a blender. If you are a beer maker, you may have the malt on hand. The only place I could find that was Grape and Grain on St. Mary's in St. Vital (I used molasses). I used traditional yeast and a stand mixer, and the dough was easy to work with. My loaves were browning quickly, so ...
Taste Tester Notes: These both make very good rye bread with nice, moist texture. The first recipe made a bit chewier crust, and the molasses flavour is not overpowering. If you don't care for molasses, or you prefer a lighter coloured bread, try the second recipe. The second recipe lists the caraway seeds as optional, but they add wonderful flavour to the bread. (My husband doesn't usually like caraway seeds but he really liked the bread with them.) Vital wheat gluten aids in the tenderness and texture of the bread, and can be purchased at certain grocery stores and bulk stores. Select the setting depending on your particular breadmaker and your experience with it. These turned out best for me using the white bread setting, and not the whole wheat setting. Follow manufacturer's instruc...
The long weekend of pumpkin pies, whipped cream, turkey and the entire Thanksgiving meal made me want to create an article that showcased a traditional side dish in an untraditional way. Untraditionally traditional stuffing 1 cup of Israeli couscous 4 cups of chicken or vegetable stock 8 cups of cubed, dry, rye bread 2 onions, chopped fine 3 ribs of celery, chopped 1/2 cup of butter 3 cloves of garlic, minced 3/4 cup of orange juice 1/4 cup of white wine 1/ 4 cup of toasted pumpkin seeds 1/2 cup of dried cranberries 1 Tbsp of chopped fresh sage 2 tsp of chopped fresh thyme Kosher salt to taste Freshly ground pepper to taste * Preheat the oven to 350 F. * Bring the 4 cups of stock to a boil, add couscous and cook for 5-7 mins until it is al dente, or firm to the bite. * Lightly toast pu...
Anyway, all the entries were subjected to a rigorous two-part judging process, in which I first checked each one to see if it contained any money (they did not) and then read them to my buddy [Boris] in a professional radio-announcer voice and asked: "How about this one?" Or: "OK, what about that one? The way people from afar always order their favourite food "memories," like Winnipeg rye bread, corn beef sandwiches, Jeanne's cakes, Sals nips. But for the future, my Winnipeg will be the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. The Fat Boy and Fries at George's on St. Mary's Road; I haven't found a comparable burger in "Cowtown" yet! (from an ex-Winnipegger in Calgary).
Party central this weekend is the Winnipeg Convention Centre with four nights of socials Thursday to Sunday. For the uninitiated, a "Manitoba social" is an event where people hang out in a large open room and drink beer and liquor out of plastic cups while dancing to classic rock and Top 40 music. You will hear Bob Seger's Old Time Rock & Roll and Brooks & Dunn's Boot Scootin' Boogie. Then at about midnight, rye bread, cold cuts and cheese magically appear on a large table to help you soak up the booze. Osborne Village is also a good place to see and be seen -- Mexican restaurant/lounge Carlos and Murphy's (129 Osborne St.) and Osborne Village Freehouse (437 Stradbrook Ave.) great places to grab some drinks and food in a laid-back atmosphere. Martinis are the specialty of the ...
Right now, the world, without letting scientists enter the fray, (is) saying you cannot feed the human tank and the gas tank off the same acre. You're going to starve to death. And I say, 'Whoa,'" said Curtis Rempel, research development manager at Winnipeg's Richardson Centre for Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals. "What's going through the ethanol plant into your gas tank you don't want in your body. For example, the Food Development Centre has used distillers' dried grain obtained from Husky Energy's ethanol plant in Minnedosa to boost the fibre content of dark rye bread. "I don't think it's a discussion that we'd want to enter into. Our facilities are to produce feed, not food, and there's a big difference between the two," said spokesman Graham White, adding that the company's...
'HI, my name is Paul and I'll be your tour guide..." It has a nice ring to it, don't you think? [Mildred Turner] and [Jean Oliver] have come up with a price of $2,146, per person, double occupancy, taxes included, for a three-week stay at the Perola apartment complex in the Algarve town of Albufeira. And that includes a return charter flight on Air Transat from Toronto to the airport in Faro and ground transfers to Albufeira . They will also arrange the best possible connecting fare to Toronto from Winnipeg. (Optional health, travel and cancellation insurance is available. A two-week option is also available.) We can put on a potluck supper one night. And we'll even do a good old Manitoba social, complete with rye bread, kielbassa, cheese cubes, sweet pickles and Old Dutch chips. We'll ...
Seriously now, I'm not going to miss the length of winter here, that's for sure. I can survive the cold. But the length of the season, that's tough. The first year I was here it snowed on May 12, my birthday and Manitoba Day. "I remember talking to my boss (in Kuwait) and he said, 'you might find the pace a little slower there.' I said, 'with respect, a job is as exciting as you make it. I knew this was a new post and I made it the job I wanted it to be." "Perogies -- that's obvious. And rye bread. You can't get good rye bread in the U.S. Oh, and the red nagohide from the booths at Rae and Jerry's (steak house on Portage Avenue). That is a real treasure."
