Häagen-Dazs®, the makers of all of the most decadent ice cream flavors, including my favorite – the Häagen-Dazs® ice cream bars, presents he new….oh. Wait a minute. Ice Cream Bars isn’t a flavor. It’s more like a state of being. You know what I mean. Anyway, the big H-D presents Passion Profiles. PP is a series hosted by Entertainment Tonight Canada’s Cheryl Hickey and features profiles of folks all over Canada who share their culinary and creative passions. The best thing is its on the internet, for lazy….I mean really busy people who are multi-tasking.
The goal of the show is not a high profile promotional yappity-yap but the opportunity to share some tidbits that will inspire other people. If they were interviewing me, or profiling my passion for the food related, I would probably at first try to show them some oddball collection of something just to toss people off the scent. Then, I would go in for the double whammy and share stories about the year long quest I am on for the perfect chocolate bar, as well as discuss the Golden Ratio? Well, the golden ratio has to do with the perfect glass of lemonade.
To create the perfect glass, the Golden Ratio is 1-6-6. (Never 6-6-6 because some folks are superstitious of that number, plus you would rot all of the enamel off of your teeth.) One cup of sugar, six squeezed lemons and six cups of cold water. For larger batches, just multiply. Of course for a selfishly small batch, it would be a 1/2 cup of sugar and 3 lemons and 3 cups of water.
And everyone would say, “so what?” And then I would also whip out the three ingredient cooking recipe: 1 cup sugar, 1 cup peanut butter, and 1 egg. That’s peanut butter coolies, folks. Then I would do something that would be considered cheating. For the pre-snack meal, I would make three ingredient salmon: 1 piece of salmon, lemon and butter. Now that’s really lame because that’s just seasoning salmon. It’s really not taking three things and through the magic of science making it all something new.
The next webisode of Passion Profiles is NOT starring me (thank goodness for you guys), but Mark McEwan, owner of McEwan’s, a high end grocery store, as well as the owner of One Restaurant and Bymark, North 44)°. Why should you listen to Mr. McEwan…well he started off as a dishwasher..at the very bottom of the rung and worked his way on up. So don’t fret if you’ve got talent and drive but all they offer you at first is sweeping a few floors. Life is what you make of it…have faith. And treat the diswasher, the garbage-emptier or the dog poo picker upper kindly because you’ll never know when they’ll be your boss someday. Catch the epi–I mean WEBisode starting August 25th.
