I don’t know if it’s just me, but Argentina has been poking me in the back trying to get my attention. A friend is touring through there right now. The first leg of the Amazing Race took place in Argentina on last night’s show. The Falkland Islands are in the news… again. And my grandfather’s…

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…
Cally’s Teas – Still Steeping
Good things take time. And Cally’s Teas promises to be an exciting addition on Whyte Avenue. Cally explained some of her plans, and although I don’t feel at liberty to share the details, let’s just say WE WILL HAVE A NEW PLACE TO HAVE LUNCH that supports local! Three cheers for independents. Three cheers for…
Chicken Soup
Although Michael denies that he’s getting sick (probably worried I’d blog about him and his “man cold”… and he would be correct), he has not been his normal self these last few days. Naturally, my husband’s health and comfort is top of my mind, and the faster he becomes healthy again, the sooner I get…

If you are hungry at lunchtime, and happen to be driving by the intersection of Argyll Road and 99th Street (Edmonton) pull into the N.E….
Pizza Dough Second Edition
Tonight I thought I would attempt an image heavy post showing you how I make my specialty, pizza dough. I wrote about this before, in my post titled Pizza! Tonight I will add more detail. This is a dough I have been making since my early teens, and it works every time. (Dramatic pause) Until…
Wife-Saver Recipe
I’m loving the idea of having “special guests” feature on my blog, and today, I’d like to introduce you to old high school chum Peter Martin. Peter was on Facebook this Christmas morning posting pictures of his beautiful daughters and singing the praises of a Wife Saver recipe, which immediately caught my attention. Wife-saver is…
Egg Salad Take 2
Whomever Googled 에그샌드위치 (in case you can’t see it, it looks like Korean writing), and got to my blog…. I did kind of leave you all hanging about Michael’s egg salad sandwiches. They really are delicious. Here’s what he does: Put eggs in bottom of pot Pour in cold water, enough to cover the eggs…
