It’s a lazy morning and after reading the Edmonton Journal blog posts by Kristin Annable and Otiena Ellwand 50 Things that Define Edmonton, I sat and pondered, came up with a few things, and wondered if I had 50. I made a list while having my morning coffee, and I do have 50! I could…

Bannock – My First Authentic Canadian Food Memory
I was intrigued when fellow foodie Valerie sent out an invite to the blogging community asking us to participate in The Canadian Food Experience Project. I like Valerie and was happy to support her project and participate! Valerie says to add this, so I obey: The Canadian Food Experience Project began June 7 2013. As…
Rickshaw Cocktail
Seriously have to consider changing the name of this blog to Walsh Drinks. Fellow gin aficionado Keith introduced me to a website this morning at The Huffington Post, Fall in Love with Gin Cocktails. You know its going to be a good day when you are looking at cocktail recipes before 9:30 am. Now that…
Godzilla in Old Strathcona
Found this on our walk this morning in Old Strathcona. This was shortly after a man in a VW Beetle drove past us in an alley, Twistin’ the Night Away blaring, windows down, stopping beside us, and he driver-seat dancing, and Michael alley-dancing, right then, right there. There is no price, no money in the…

The patio furniture is out, the sun is shining, and Earl’s has it’s new Spring menu! Nothing says spring (especially for those of us without barbecues at home) quite like a 16 oz bone-in Certified Angus rib eye steak, rubbed with olive oil, gluten free soya sauce, minced garlic cloves, fresh lemon juice, fresh basil,…
Where to Eat in Victoria
Traveling to Victoria? This blog is for you. I am in turmoil because we normally get a Spring trip out to the island, and this year we are unable to. My whole being is aching for the smell of boxwood, the spring flowers, the sea air, the green, roads without potholes, sidewalks not covered in…
Banana Muffins
I’ve been sipping my way through a huge many smoothies (slurries) these past few months. So much so, I’ve been buying my fruit and veg from H & W Produce. Their slogan, Spend Less for Fresh. So you understand why I am going there. It’s cheap. And the quality is there. I often thought it…
Come on Edmonton! It’s APRIL!
I was just fine with the weather we’ve been having. But when I woke up this morning and looked at yet another layer of snow blanketing the city, I sighed deeply. And deeply again. Let’s go back a few days. Thursday night. Most fantastic night out. Cab ride home sort of fantastic. Then Friday. Feeling…
