I called Cally’s new telephone number this afternoon, hoping to reach Edmonton’s favourite Empress of Tea, but unfortunately, all I got was her voice mail. In her friendly, warm message, she says that they are still looking for a new location, but we are welcome to call her with our orders. If your Oolong is…

Friday In Edmonton
Yesterday was a thrilling day to be out and about in Edmonton. The evening started with a visit to What the Truck a fun event organized by Mack Male and Sharon Yeo. These two positive, energetic people love our city and are taking steps to do what they can to improve the downtown scene. What…
Pickled Carrot Update
About my pickled carrots…. Michael opened the jar, enthusiastically pulled out a fork full and stuck them in his mouth. He started to chew. It’s at this point I normally get an appreciative “Mmmmm mmmmm mmm” feedback. But he kept chewing. And chewing. And chewed some more. Then he asked, “What’s in this?”. Dear readers,…
Does Chef Boyardee Get You Fat
Dear Person who did a Google Search “Does Chef Boyardee Get You Fat” and ended up at my blog: No, a can of Chef Boyardee will not make you fat. Eat it with a side salad full of dark leafy greens, sliced peppers, and other assorted vegetables, and you will have a fairly healthy lunch…
Pickled Carrots – My Way
I’ve never pickled anything until today. When I was growing up, for several years Mom and Dad pickled things, mainly cucumbers. I remember our kiddie swimming pool being used to wash vast quantities of cucumbers, large boiling cauldrons on the stove-top, the word “sterilized” being thrown around and soft curses being muttered as jars cracked….

Here’s a mango. A juicy mango. The mango has been eaten. By me. Thank you. (This blog post was made in an effort to remove my eyes from the Vancouver at Boston game).

Stove Adjustment
Quick post as using teensy phone for update. Internet on hold until June. JUNE!!! In the meantime I write to prepare you for my future complaining of my new stove. It has only one, ONE, large burner!!!! I try to console myself by telling myself in Oprahesque fashion to be grateful I have a stove…
Kitchen with a View
I have not had a move yet where I’ve felt serene, and in complete control. This move is no different, except I am self-medicating with G & Ts. Although it doesn’t make it any better, it makes me stop worrying for a few minutes. For those brief moments of refreshing, bubbly, lime infused lusciousness, I…
Popcorn and the Swedish Chef
Bonnie posted this on Facebook for me and fellow foodie friend, Darlene. It made me laugh. I hope it makes you laugh too. Happy Friday.
