I was thinking about this. Cottage Pie has been around in name since 1791. Shepard’s Pie is the newest kid on the block, arriving on the scene in 1877. I can imagine the scene it caused at the time. Daily Telegraph paperboys shouting at London…
Duchess Bake Shop – Cookbook Launch

Crabapple Jelly
This autumn, Michael noticing crabapple trees heavy with fruit along his bike commute, was inspired to make his World Famous Crabapple jelly. It’s quite the lengthy operation.

Food – Some Thoughts
I sit here in the cool breeze of our 25 year old floor fan, watching Guest-cat’s hair float in the sun beam, listening to my possessed iTunes library (I shut off iTunes. iTunes starts up again. Repeat), and wonder what on earth I could possibly write about. Let’s go free form: Lays Ketchup Potato Chips…

Bannock – My First Authentic Canadian Food Memory
I was intrigued when fellow foodie Valerie sent out an invite to the blogging community asking us to participate in The Canadian Food Experience Project. I like Valerie and was happy to support her project and participate! Valerie says to add this, so I obey: The Canadian Food Experience Project began June 7 2013. As…
Godzilla in Old Strathcona
Found this on our walk this morning in Old Strathcona. This was shortly after a man in a VW Beetle drove past us in an alley, Twistin’ the Night Away blaring, windows down, stopping beside us, and he driver-seat dancing, and Michael alley-dancing, right then, right there.
