I’ve heard rumblings about MEAT for Dinner, located in Old Strathcona on the West side of 104th Street, between 82 and 83 Avenues. I also heard it was one of those places that doesn’t take reservations and you sometimes have to share tables with complete strangers. In my head I gave this tom foolery a dismissive…

Rocky Mountain Icehouse
Michael and I got a sneak peek at the too-cool-for-words, super relaxed Rocky Mountain Icehouse, located at 10516 Jasper Avenue. Wayne and Susan have done it again. They have taken the best bits of the Cask & Barrel – the cozy seating, best drinks, awesome music (live and playlist), and great design… and ramped it…
The F-Words: Food Fun Family Friends Flowers
It’s Mother’s Day. I have had an ache in my chest for most it. But rather concentrate on what I no longer have, decided, after a pleasant afternoon nap and head clearing walk, to concentrate on what I do have. And rather than provide you with an Oprah list of those things, let’s take a…
Have You Eaten a Ford Lately?
Have you eaten a Ford lately? Indeed, that is a serious question. When is the last time you took a bite out of your car? Getting into a fender bender and having your teeth smash into the steering wheel doesn’t count (and why weren’t you wearing your seat belt? Perhaps you need a new car…
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…
50 Things That Define Edmonton
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…
Spring has Sprung at Earl’s
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…
Wine
A quick post, for the benefit of those reading from Spain, France and Italy tonight. I happened to have wine from each of your countries tonight. What did I learn? I learned Malbec’s started in France. Who knew? I also learned I love wine from each of your countries. Thank you to the vineyards of…
Red Ox Inn
Yesterday, Michael and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary by having our supper at the Red Ox Inn. The Red Ox Inn is located in the peaceful community of Strathearn, in a quaint 1950’s ish strip mall, which also houses Centre d’arts visuels de l’Alberta (CAVA), a place we like to hang out on Friday…
