There are some things on this earth that should never be photographed. One of them is meatloaf. No matter how delicious it tastes, or how how you smother it with tomato sauce, add a sprig of fresh parsley, and have it sit on your best plate it is still meatloaf. Perhaps I should take my…

Blush Lane Organic Market Open
Michael and I were out for our evening stroll tonight, and we were pleasantly surprised to find Blush Lane Organic Market. Blush Lane is located on the corner of 82 Ave and 102 Street (Edmonton). The entrance is located on the west side of the brand new Roots on Whyte building, where you will find …
Mmmmmmmm Meatloaf!
The title of this blog post could be referring to: …an album I listened to endlessly, ENDLESSLY back in the late 70’s (yes I am that old) in my parent’s living room, with the headphones on, memorizing every lyric and silently lip-synching so all anyone would hear is the smack smack smack of my mouth…
Eat Alberta
On April 14, 2012, the second annual Eat Alberta conference will take place at NAIT. Through a mix of hands-on and demonstration workshops, tasting sessions, and presentations from some of the leaders of our food community – farmers, chefs and local food advocates – we hope that participants will learn how to use and source…
Walsh Cooks Stats
WordPress has been continually improving user stats. I look at them time-to-time to see if people are still reading my blog. I would still write even if you weren’t out there, because I enjoy doing it. In fact, my writing would probably get a bit weird(er) because once I found out real people (meaning people…

Gnocchi
I cannot believe I’ve written this blog for so long and not once mentioned my love for gnocchi! Mind you, my love for wine, pizza, perogies, cupcakes, roast beef, turkey, turnip puff and yam sandwiches, leaves little room for much else. But come on in gnocchi!! Move over yams! You cupcakes can squeeze in a…
Empanadas
I don’t know if it’s just me, but Argentina has been poking me in the back trying to get my attention. A friend is touring through there right now. The first leg of the Amazing Race took place in Argentina on last night’s show. The Falkland Islands are in the news… again. And my grandfather’s…
Martini
The classic martini: 6 ice cubes 2.5 oz gin .5 oz vermouth twist of lemon if you have high blood pressure, olive if you don’t Put the works in a shaker. Shake. Strain into martini glass. Enjoy. From my beloved Wikipedia, I quote: “E. B. White called it “the elixir of quietude“”. And in the…
Toast!
Our old toaster still toasts, but its uneven browning and tendency to arc electrical bits into the air made me think it was time to replace it. I’ve been accumulating Air Miles forever… but understand I’m not a crazy collector. When I signed up I had visions of redeeming my points for an around the…
