This was my meal yesterday at Van houtte Cafe in Montreal.
Bread
Photo of the day
So the photo of the day is a picture of Homemade Labneh. Labneh is a Lebanese food. It is basically strained yogurt with salt. You eat it with bread, olive oil, and can make sandwiches with olives. I loved this food growing up. My friend Samer taught me how to make it at home.For more information check out the wiki.
Here are the steps to making Labneh at home:
1. Get two (depending on how much you want, I always get two) 750g containers of yogurt.
2. Add a hand full of salt (or to your taste) to each container and mix well with a spoon.
3.Get kitchen towels and line the inside of a strainer that has small holes preferably.
4. Dump all the yogurt inside the kitchen towels and allow the yogurt to strain over night.
5.When eating it pour some olive oil on it and eat it with bread as you would any dip.

Michael knew I would like this place, when he took me there it was as if I was in Heaven! This place has all the food I love, for $10. It’s All you can eat Salad, Pasta, Ice cream, Soup, Muffins, Bread, Garlic Bread, Pizza, Biscuits. At the end the owner or manager of the store told me to stop recording, so i did, good thing she didn’t make me delete the video. She probably thought i was doing this for competitive reasons? who knows, on the way out i took a muffin in my hand, and she followed me out. She thought i was sketchy after the camera incident.
