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!

The other day, when I was making follow up calls for an education and outreach fundraising campaign, I called a local business.
Feeling that this particular charity has grave importance in occupying the idle minds of potentially great future community leaders, I have significant buy in. Especially with the wave of unprecedented violence that is ravaging the GTA! I believe that a program that focusses on giving opportunity to the underserved youth is one that needs to upheld with honour in light of recent events.
Do you know what this business' representative told me?
"We donated all our funds to Katrina Relief."
Was Katrina devestating? Yes. Were the victims victimized by their own gov't? Yes. Is the United States, financially, more than capable of taking care of their own? Yes!
What upsets me isn't that this charity was declined. It wasthe overwhelmingly apathetic attitude of Canadians towards their own emergencies! When flooding occured out west, I bet a dollar this company didn't step up to the plate. When Nova Scotia was hit by a hurricane years ago, I bet they dismissed it entirely. Now Toronto is hit by multiple shootings daily, and those we look to for assistance turn a blind eye.
My point is: If you are a Canadian, I would think you have an invested interest in making the country as strong as possible for the betterment of you and of me. A civic responsibility to take care of your own, so that collectively we can assist others.
The truth is: Canadians are filled with push/pull inclinations. When there's an appeal for emergency outside our own, we respond ten fold! But, when the emergency blatantly happens locally, we fain ignorance.
Yes, assist others, but, don't let problems internationally monopolize your funds!
