Michael makes a mean egg salad sandwich, and since I had two left-over eggs from this morning’s breakfast, thought I’d drop a subtle hint which eggs were available for his lunch.

Philly
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…
Thanh Thanh Oriental Noodle House

Brown Rice Pudding
I reviewed our kitchen inventory this morning and found we had a) 2 litres of milk with a best before date of tomorrow, b) 1 litre of half-and-half cream less a few tablespoons that went in our borscht c) a Bulk Barn bag of brown rice tossed in the back of the cupboard, d) an…
Borscht!
My favourite food time of year is upon us. Our gardens are offering up beets, onions, potatoes, peas, cabbage, carrots, dill, bacon, sour salt and cream. OK fine, maybe Safeway is providing the bacon and cream. Sour salt is a bit more of a challenge. Above you see a bowl of my Mom’s finest borscht….
Lentil Dahl
As the moon moves into Taurus, and the sun into Leo, my mind gazes to the empty bowl of sugary grapefruit slice candy, and wine gums beside me. Again, another Monday looms with resolve to “eat right” and clean up my act. Best way to tackle this is to cook in advance. More often than…
HealthFare Restaurant: Update – It’s Shut Down (In Edmonton)

Eat Alberta

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…
Corn Flakes
Sometimes, this Walsh refuses to cook, and this afternoon, after an exhilarating weekend of visiting, eating out, doing this, and doing that, decided on a quick and simple snack. A bowl of Corn Flakes. Here we have the Corn Flakes: And here we have a bowl full of Corn Flakes: Although they were patented in…
Queen of Tarts
Queen of Tarts Bakery & Bistro is finally open and can be found at 10129 104 Street in Edmonton (sorry Calgary). I was lucky to walk through the door five minutes after it officially opened, and was greeted by the beautiful and enthusiastic Jelena. If Jelena looks at all familiar to you, she hails from…
