No Knead Bread Needs Time

I admit to being a little slow on the uptake as there has been buzz in the electronic world about No Knead Bread for some time now. Several months ago, my great pal from Halifax got on my case demanding that I make this fabulous bread. I think the message was even delivered with FABULOUS…

Cathy Talkin’

The original title of this blog post, no kidding, was: I Thought Sexism Was Dead, Politics, Chicken Thighs, Costco, and Other Matters on my Mind. I was fearful of what sorts of internet searches would land people on this site, so thought I would play it safe and play on Corner Gas’s episode on blogging…

Chaîne des Rôtisseurs

Michael and I were invited by a member of the Edmonton Bailliage of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs to a formal supper. What exactly is a Chaîne des Rôtisseurs you ask? You can read all the formal stuff about them on their website. My quick synopsis is it is group of people, about half of them…

Fancy Dinner Tonight

Tonight’s the night. I just finished hair and applying make-up. Thought green might be nice for eyeshadow. I think I might have over-done it. Oops.

Beer!

It has been day trying to amp up the girlie factor because tomorrow Michael and I are attending an uber foodie evening.  We are invited guests to this event, and are certain there will be hoods, fire, horses and chanting at some point in the evening. How can it not be? This group of culinary…

Cheers!

Some times, just some times, I wish I would just kick back and relax without feeling the urge to take pictures of our supper, our wine, then write about it. But, I love it, so even on a quiet Saturday evening such as this, with a tomato-beef-mushroom pasta sauce on the burble on the stove,…

3:10 to Walsh’s Kitchen

I dunno if it’s seasonal, being 44, or having a snuggly husband, but at 3:10 a.m. I was awake. After scrunching my eyes shut and begging sleep to resume, I gave up, and did what anyone would do – headed to the kitchen to bake a cake. Normal people do that, right? Don’t answer that….

The Other Walsh Cooks!

It can be done! Husbands can cook! Here’s what’s left of Michael’s shepard’s pie. The table was set, the plates warmed, and a plateful of shepard’s pie served when I arrived home from work today. *content sigh* I’ve been dreaming of this day.

Cupcakes Take 2

Around 12 months ago I made cupcakes, but slathered on the icing using a spatula. This time around I thought I’d fancy things up and attempt using a home-made piping bag. The great oracle Google coughed up a few piping bag ideas, and I took those suggestions and made my own Walsh-Bag-2010(TM). I won’t share…

Prosecco to Launch the Weekend

There’s nothing quite like a chilled bottle of Prosecco to launch the weekend. I was lucky enough to have today off, and was able to spend most of it being the domestic diva I strive to be, and had dinner ready for my man after a hard day at work. Tonight wasn’t so much about…
