Do you long for the sweet sauce known as Donair Sauce? Do you lapsed into a late night craving for garlic fingers and donair sauce? Do you feel mildly cheated when you eat a so called "Nova Scotian Donair" and it's served on a Greek Pita with lettuce?

Well you are not alone.

As a Prince Edward Island expat, I think of donairs daily. Perhaps it's the absence of this delicious home town treat that makes me long for it even more! And, when local Upper Canadian businesses try their hand at recreating the delectable snack, it all goes to heck.

So for all of you out there, here's my own donair sauce recipe my donair meat recipe is a bit of a secret. After taking an existing recipe I tweaked it until it was just right! Use it in conjunction with the pizza dough recipe for your own Garlic Fingers.
NOTE: Mega bricks of cheese are on sale at Value Mart, No Frills and Loblaws this week for $3.99 that's enough mozzerella for lots and lots of garlic fingers!

Donair Sauce
2/3 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Mix all together. You can't over mix this donair sauce... But it's going to get really thick.

Garlic Fingers
garlic butter (made to taste, garlic mashed & mixed into salted butter with a sprinkle of parsley)
Spread onto half a recipe of my pizza dough (see below) and topped with mozzerella cheese.

Cook. Cut into fingers (or soldiers for all my British readers), dip into donair sauce.
Eat late night, with a friend, drinking beer and watching silly tv shows.

mmmmmm.... sooooooooo tasty!

Here it is, the pizza was good AND fast!

The recipe goes like this:

2 3/4cups of flour
2tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup of grated parmasen cheese
1 cup of milk

Mix all the ingredients together until you have a dough. Divide into four portions and top with your favorite ingredients. I spread the tomato sauce all over the crust from edge to edge.

It took only a few moments to throw together but, it helps to make dinner a little bit more interesting!

Enjoy!

Ever since people found out that I lost my job, a flood of well wishes have come my way. From crazy men wanting to ask me out and accidentally calling up my sister to emails from past co workers asking me to stay in touch. However, the worst is the incessant barrage of "Have you found a job yet?" from those the closest to me.

Trust me, you'll all be the first to know!

But, while I wait for carple tunnel to set in from my excessive job applications, I amuse myself my most favorite way!

I COOK!

Today I'm making pizza. Here's a photo:


The soundtrack of choice is Feist's latest album.

Stay tuned for whether or not the pizza was good!

It is official, I am no longer working at Roy Thomson Hall!
The decision is a shocking one, and has left many scratching their heads.

However, I keep my chin up high and a muddle on through to bigger and better things!
