Chipotle-Honey-Glazed Chicken Wings with Toasted Sesame Seeds and Green Onion

I made these yesterday for the superbowl and they were some of the best wings I had ever eaten. I love the sweet and the spicy and smoky. Amazing.

What 5 unusual things are in your fridge?

1. Goat - planning to curry it this week.
2. Dandelion - which was a bit too bitter this time around.
3. 6 types of mustard - does anyone really need this much mustard?!?
4. 6-8 dozen apples - I went apple picking a few weeks ago and they have taken up all of my crisper space!
5. a bottle of mint chocolate Bailey's that has been in there since last Christmas!

What comes to mind when you hear the term "food politics"?

Food insecurity - barriers to accessing adequate food...that all people have the right to access food in socially and culturally acceptable ways. The corporate control of agriculture and the food system.

Also, I think of the writing and work of Marion Nestle, Alice Waters and the edible school yard, Michael Pollan, the Centre for Studies in Food Security (http://www.ryerson.ca/foodsecurity/index.html) and local initiatives that inspire me, such as FoodShare's Good Food Box, the Stop Community Food Centre and the many farmers markets that have sprung up all over the city in the past few years...

Toronto - Where to eat?

For a delicious coffee/latte visit Mercury Organic Espresso Bar at Queen St. W and Carlaw (http://mercuryorganic.blogspot.com/ )

Utopia (www.utopia.ca) in Little Italy (College St.) has delicious burgers and most everything else too!

Aunties & Uncles (74 Lippincott Street - near Kensington Market/Little Italy)- great hip little breakfast/brunch spot - the breakfast pocket is my personal favourite.

Swan on Queen West (892 Queen Street West) is consistently my favourite "upscale" affordable diner - the club sandwich is one of my favourites in the city.

One of my 'go-to' brunches is by far 'Easy' which is at Queen W & Roncesvalles. Delicious smoothies, great bacon & eggs ... you can even get toast soldiers, a hard boiled egg with toast strips and your very own toy soldier to take home. It's affordable and casual and I haven't yet had a bad experience.

Rebel House, a "Canadian" pub - (http://www.rebelhouse.ca/home.htm) at 1068 Yonge St. - go for lunch and have a buffalo burger. yum!

I would also recommend Greg's Ice Cream - the roasted marshmallow or the coffee toffee!

Soma chocolate in the distillery district (www.thedistillerydistrict.com)- $2 a truffle - but an amazing truffle - one is enough. I adore the bergamot truffle, the balsamic truffle and the olive oil truffle.
