Wishing all our family, friends, fellow bloggers, Facebook friends, the Twitterverse, and everyone involved in the food and wine industry, success, happiness and good health in 2013.

Gluten Free Chocolate Cake
This is a gluten free recipe, but it is hardly calorie free, and it is the calories that make this moist chocolate cake so delicious. I received this recipe from my work sensei, Claudette, who shared it with me after I experimented with quinoa in my Quinoa and Apple Salad. That salad was a huge…
Laurel’s Pumpkin Pie
Yesterday in my Facebook timeline I got the delightful news that Cally’s Teas talented baker, Laurel, would be making pumpkin pie to order for Thanksgiving weekend. As I was on turnip puff and dessert duty for our family’s Thanksgiving dinner this happy news about the pie made me do my autumnal “I get pumpkin pie…
City Market
This morning I was in the mood to go shopping at the City Market downtown. Mood, in my case, means I have a wallet with cash on the ready, because as we know, the City Market is not into debit machines or credit. This is a good thing because, then, instead of buying practical food…
Random Post of Stuff
Life has been happening and I’ve had to be responsible and engaged in said life activities so spending time here hasn’t happened. But here I am! I’m here! If only just for a second. So what can I say about the food world that will tease and tantalize and make you keep coming back here…

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…
Transcend Coffee
Today was too gorgeous to stay indoors, so we did a wander through Old Strathcona and ended up Transcend Coffee by the Garneau Theatre just off the High Level Bridge, on 109th Street, south of Saskatchewan Dr. This location is busy, and can often be difficult to find a seat. We always manage to get…
