Uncle Ed’s Restaurant
It’s like visiting family. I have two “for real” Uncle Eds, so going to Uncle Ed’s Restaurant for perogies and verbal sparring is become as traditional as wine on Friday night. The ladies who work here remind me of family. They treat me like family, except the best part is they haven’t (yet) tossed me…
You Found Me!
I liked Blogger. It got me started and established in the blogosphere, but the time has come to move on to Word Press, which seems to me, a very popular tool to blog with. So here I am. You found me. I’m so happy you did. I had this fear I would leave behind all…
The Bothy
Earlier this year, Michael and I attended a silent auction fund raising affair at the Varscona Theatre called the Crystal Ball. It was a hoot, and I came home with lots of loot (mainly on account of not understanding that I could have bid amounts lower than the suggested price, and just bid the value)….
Morning Coffee Haiku
WaterFlows over beansInto meEyes awakeCoffee I started drinking coffee in high school, and I haven’t looked back. I remember many, many mornings sitting with my Mom at the kitchen table, both of us reading the morning paper, chatting, and drinking coffee. I remember this as one of my favourite parts of the day.

Baked Pasta with Tomatoes and Mozzarella
Jamie Oliver. I love this guy. His stuff is easy to make, super tasty, and even if it’s smothered in mozzarella cheese, I can’t help but think its good for me because everything is natural and not processed with chemicals. All the ingredients for this dish are available at the Italian Centre Shop. Even the…
Tomato Pasta Salad, Asparagus Soup AND Poached Eggs on Ciabatta
I spent some time on the old internet this morning. Reading blog to blog, tweet to tweet, I ended up with a serious craving for a poached egg (done in swirly water) served on toast. That was breakfast. Later on, I came across Jamie Oliver’s recipe for asparagus soup, served with…. poached egg on ciabatta!…
Eating Healthy
That near Soylent Green hued image above was this evening’s supper. It’s chicken. It’s broccoli. It’s garlic, thyme, chicken broth, salt and pepper. All done in a wee smidge of olive oil. Not pretty to look at, but quite delicious served on a bed of brown rice. It is not a stuffed baked potato and…
Where’s Walsh?
Dear Fans of Walsh Cooks: I have a serious health issue to deal with at the moment. Because of this, I’ve been eating clean and pristine in order to get myself in shape for what’s about to happen to me. My dining has been B-O-R-I-N-G and so far have not been inspired to write about…
