Warning. Ladies underthings are discussed in this here post. Proceed with caution. Happy and bit concerned that my blog has been around long enough that I’m officially repeating myself. Back in 2010 I posted this family treasure of a recipe for spaghetti sauce. I thought I was clever calling it a blog-on-ese sauce seeing as…

Select
We went to Select (formerly Cafe Select) to celebrate an anniversary. Reservations were made by Open Table, a quick and reliable way of making reservations. They didn’t appear to be needed however, because January 3 seemed to be a night most everyone in Edmonton decided to stay in. When we arrived, there was only one other…
Hello 2014!
Don’t know about you, but I am happy to see the rear end of 2013 as it gallops off into history. Despite some challenging and sad times, there are a number of memorable highlights: 1. I have great, supportive family that manages to see things through during hard times. We are a tough (but loveable)…
Shirred Eggs and Toast
Nothing like starting a healthy eating plan to get creative and want to try to new things. In my first week of my new healthy eating plan, I though repetition would be key. So I had the same thing for lunch throughout the week. By the second week, this became a little tired. Now, I…
Rice Cooker
I’m an easy sale. I was talking with co-worker and rice fanatic, Zerlina, at work the other day, and the merits of a rice cooker came up. She mentioned how delicious the rice is from a cooker, how the fragrant jasmine rice will make the house smell good, explained the versatility of the machine and…
Almond Chai Latte
My newest passion. An almond chai latte from Remedy Cafe. Spicy. Sweet. Warming. Relaxing. I have these when things get a little harried and I want to relax. I have these when it is inappropriate to turn to a bottle of wine… for instance, while at work or driving. It is, seriously, the next best…
Rice Pudding
Here’s a simple rice pudding recipe that uses up the excess rice you cooked for dinner because you thought cooking up the last little bit of rice in the bottom of the large bag would be enough for two at supper, plus three lunches throughout the week. Little did you know that the little bit…
Highlands Farmers’ Market
As late autumn settles in and things slow down, St. Mary’s is just heating up for winter! St. Mary’s had a successful Fall Bazaar on October 26. It was well attended by vendors, people looking for lunch, and eager buyers of delicious baked goods, snuggly hand-knitted blankets, jewelry, trinkets and treasures, and the usually hard-to-find…
Thanksgiving 2013
Oh I’m thankful. I’m thankful for a lot of things. Right now I’m thankful for my emergency vodka and grapefruit Sanpellegrino. What’s cooking? Well, this is my First Thanksgiving that I am completely responsible for from appetizers to dessert. It’s just Michael and I this year. So here’s how I figure I’ll do Thanksgiving: a)…
Potholes in Edmonton
I’ve been on a mission, A MISSION I tell you, for all of us who drive on 91st Avenue between 99th Street and Saskatchewan Drive, to get potholes filled. How serious was my mission? Serious. Here’s yours truly on the CBC News: Potholes You may remember, back in the early early Spring, we were dealing…
