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…

Thanh Thanh Oriental Noodle House
Oh food. How I love thee. Today was a Great Day. Broke away from the routine of work and enjoyed lunch with a great group of friends at Thanh Thanh Oriental Noodle House at 10718 – 101 St, Edmonton. Sorry Calgary peeps you will have to visit us here. Phone 780-426-5068. They take reservations and…
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….
Forget the Tea. Let’s Have Wine!
I have been drinking a lot of tea lately. I took a hiatus from my usual G & T. Mainly because a) the weather has been cool, and G & T is my hot summer day drink, and b) my bottle of gin is empty. Nonetheless, my latest shipment of wine from Opimian has arrived,…
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…
Friday at our Place
What. A. Week. A confidence shared. Embarrassment. Spilled my full-to-the-top water bottle all over my keyboard, mouse, telephone, pants, floor. All while trying to be professional during a telephone call. Not sure that a screamed “OH CRAP” (*whispered: I actually screamed OH SHIT but someone I work with might be reading this, so oh crap…
Cornflakes are Good When….
To answer another Google searcher who landed on my blog after their question “Cornflakes are Good When…”. Well, let me answer that for you. Cornflakes are good when: 1. You want to eat something that the TV commercials tell you are healthy, but in reality, after a few spoonfuls of sugar and virtually no fiber,…
Chicken with Blazing Carrot Jelly
The chicken didn’t photograph really well, but here’s a pic of the Jam Lady’s Blazing Carrot Jelly. The Jam Lady (who was a man) at this morning’s farmer’s market at 104th Street (in Edmonton) recommended I smear this on a chicken, and roast it. So I did. And it’s delicious. It’s also tasty on a…
Corn!
Nothing says summer more than peaches and cream corn and a good summer thunder shower. This corn, shown here at the left, was bought at Safeway. I believe it’s a knock-off of Taber Corn. I think the sign read Taybor Korn. Regardless, it’s on special today, 10 ears for $4.00…. and it is DELICIOUS. It’s…
