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…
Super Easy Risotto that you Don’t Have to Stir
If you are like me, you Googled “Super Easy Risotto that you Don’t Have to Stir” because life is hard and you don’t want to fuss for your lunch, yet you demand to have risotto over having a peanut butter sandwich. This is not that recipe. You will be stirring. This story starts a few…

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)…
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…
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…
