“Can it be that good?” “What is all the fuss about?” “I don’t know what I’ll have!” These are snips of conversation Michael and I had while we waited for our month-in-advance reservation at Corso 32. Well my friends, if you heard my Tweets last night, you might have thought I was experiencing some pleasures…

Easy Pasta Sauce
Pasta sauce recipe is below. First, you have to hear about our weekend. We had an interesting weekend being survivors of the Edmonton earthquake. You don’t believe me, do you? Check it out: Tremors from 7.7-magnitude earthquake in B.C. felt in Edmonton | CTV Edmonton News. Being on the 6 o’clock news was more fun than…
Manor Bistro
My husband and I wanted to have a special night out – and it’s getting a bit tricky since we eat out regularly and celebrate each day as a gift. But this evening was a bit extra-extra special as I had been out of town that week, and Michael and I were missing each others…
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…
What the Truck?!
Michael and I attended the What the Truck event last night, and it wasn’t until now, over 24 hours later, that I could write anything, because… WE. ATE. SO. MUCH. FOOD. WE. COULD. BARELY. MOVE. Now that time has past and the food digested, I am happy to share our experience. Last night’s event started…
Sauerkraut Soup – The Ukranian Way – Simplified Method
Today I cook! I cook for you! I’m drawing on my inner Baba and am in the throws of making sauerkraut soup! I am even going to wear a kerchief for full affect. Abandons blog. Goes to bedroom. Opens dresser drawer. Rummages. Finds scarf. Wraps. Wraps. Wraps some more. Ties knot on top of head….
The Bothy Downtown is Open!
Yesterday Michael and I stopped in at the much anticipated second location of The Bothy. There’s something fun about being there on or near opening and watching a place develop and grow. I suppose this is the thrill people have with their children. Michael and I don’t have kids, but we have adopted a parental…
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…
Thursday Afternoon
What a riot. I could watch that .gif all afternoon. Today was an interesting day. On the trek into work today, I came across these blocks of wood on the sidewalk: I could easily write a blog dedicated to the stuff I find along Scona Road. It’s been interesting. I had one of those days…
