Tonight is the eve of a Game of Thrones marathon at a friend’s house. And because this friend of mine has a terrific, if not envious imagination, we are making it a “theme” day. She is serving food items like sweet baby gherkins (“Tyrion’s Little Pickle”), cheese slices (“Joeffrey’s a Muenster” cheese), crackers (“King Aerys…

Nalysynky (Cheese Crepes)
Nalysynky (nah-liss-neh-key): Cheese crepes. Ukrainian food. Delicious, waist expanding Ukrainian food. Nalysynky is not a complicated food item to make. It just has multiple steps and requires your full attention whilst making the crepes. It’s a great food to make as a couple, however, I am one of those cooks that sends my husband off…
Nigella Lawson’s Lemon Linguine
Who doesn’t love Nigella Lawson? And who doesn’t love egg yolks, cream, butter, lemon, parmesan, and pasta? Okay, maybe you don’t, but I do, and this is my blog, and this post is dedicated to Nigella’s Lemon Linguine recipe. It’s quick. Easy. Delicious. And impresses the pants off my husband. If you are invited to…
Tres Carnales
Up until today, my exposure to Mexico, Mexican people and Mexican food, has been, in order: 1. Speedy Gonzales2. Tijuana Brass (The link plays music. You’ve been warned). 3. Visiting Tijuana by car, our 1974 Ford Station Wagon, my sister and I rolling around like loose golf balls in the back of the car on…

Day 2 began with me finding a place to return a book I “borrowed” from the Morris House Hotel one year ago. Last year Michael and I had a historical room with ancient books lining the walls. I pulled Irvine Stones “the Immortal Wife” thinking the title was “Immoral Wife” and it took me 3/4…
Talulah’s Garden
I’m in Philadelphia and although only my second visit it is feeling homey and familiar. Had to give the cab driver directions to my hotel. Arrived at suppertime and thought I’d eat at M’s which is adjacent to and owned by my hotel, The Morris House Hotel. But they were full. Much like a post…
Picnic!!!!!!!!
It’s 30C outside. It’s September 8. Winter’s-a-coming!! It’s been a not-so-great summer, but it’s here. Right now. Talked to a decidedly “weird” husband today who seemed to bouncing off the walls, and thought, “Lawn bowling, or anywhere public where he has to deal with people in close quarters is NOT the right thing to do…
It Costs What?
As I was driving home, a 5 minute commute without traffic, I was thinking two things. The first, how frustrated David Suzuki would be with me for driving my vehicle such a short distance. And as I spewed carbon dioxide into the air, I was also thinking about supper. I decided to let the inspiration…
Eat Alberta
What a day. We spent our Saturday at the Eat Alberta conference. Their site describes it best: Through a mix of hands-on and demonstration workshops, tasting sessions, and presentations from some of the leaders of our food community – farmers, chefs and local food advocates – Eat Alberta participants will learn how to use and…
