After a few days of extreme heat, then a few nights being shaken out bed because of some mighty storms, now we have smoke. My Day 5 post is a day late, as Michael and I attended Northland’s Park After Dark event last night. We responded to a Tweet inviting us (and the world) to…

Blog Week – Day 4 – Meal Ideas
Subtitled: Meal Ideas When You are Tired and Everyone is Tired Today, when it seems everyone I talk to is exhausted because of the combination of heat thunder heat rain heat humidity heat rain heat oh there goes a canoe down the middle of the street heat and my lone geranium is now salad because…
Blog Week – Day 3 – Cup Cakes!
Today is my hubby’s birthday!! Fweeeeeeep! Toot! Hoorah! Yay! To have a proper birthday celebration in our family, it must, absolutely MUST be celebrated with a sweet cake with icing. Take your pick of the form of this delicious combination, but for this particular birthday, we are having cupcakes. Cupcakes… oh yes, you know you…
Blog Week – Day 2 – Refreshment
I’m getting a bit tired of all the complaining (mainly from me) about the heat. Saw this on Facebook and have to share here since it made me laugh: Today, being the smart cookie that I am, thought I would ride the bus home since a) it is so hot outside, b) I had bags…
Blog Week – Day 1 – Bean Salad
Inspired by Mack Male’s (Edmonton’s super-star blogger) appearance on Breakfast Television this morning to promote and inform about the world about blogging, I decided that I will do a Blog-A-Day this Monday to Friday. Come hell or high water. Mood or not. You, ladies and gentlemen, are getting a blog post. It is Monday, and…
Thursday Afternoon
What a riot. I could watch that .gif all afternoon. Today was an interesting day. On the trek into work today, I came across these blocks of wood on the sidewalk: I could easily write a blog dedicated to the stuff I find along Scona Road. It’s been interesting. I had one of those days…
Shrimp Boil
Michael and I attended our first ever shrimp boil. It was a perfect afternoon for a bunch of family to gather at my Uncle Ed’s and Auntie Barb’s place to say goodbye (they are leaving Edmonton) and attend Uncle Ed’s now world famous Shrimp Boil. The premise is quite simple. Fill a pot with vegetables…
Happy Canada Day
Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians here and abroad! It’s a great day to be Canadian, and know this little bit (downpour) of rain, thunder and lightening will pass and not dampen our spirits here in Edmonton. We have bought our Canadian flag, and as soon as we can figure out a way to…
Carrot Ginger Soup – My Way
Evidently June is Carrot Month in Walsh Cooks world. Remember, one year ago I had my epic failure at Pickled Carrots – My Way. “Try try again” I will say to anyone who will listen, so I am taking my own advice, dusting myself off and carrying on. Last Friday I was out with a…
Lasagna
A grey, blustery day is a perfect sort of day to inspire me to cook. On today’s menu a big lasagna to share with my family, and probably enough left overs for lunch tomorrow too. I don’t follow a recipe because it always varies with whatever ingredients I happen to have in the fridge/pantry. Today’s…
