Happy New Year! So far 2011 does not suck. And so far, 11 hours in, I have stuck to all my resolutions for 2011. They include: It’s a relief to wake up today, and not have some heavy resolutions weighing over my head, like giving up coffee (never!), or quitting smoking (check! did that back…

Signs of Christmas
A rutabaga in your cubicle is a sign of Christmas. I bought this bad boy for my annual contribution to our family Christmas Dinner, the Turnip Puff. A co-worker and admirer of door photographs, brought in some of his Moroccan wife’s bean dish for me try. A generous Christmas gesture gratefully received. An amazing dish,…
Walsh Fry Up
It’s a lazy Sunday morning. The two of us were entwined together in our cozy bed and determined to stay that way all day long until I whispered the word “bacon” in my beloved’s ear. The covers were kicked back with maddening speed, and next thing I know I’m pulling out fry pans, thawing rashers…
Thanks To Boursin Cheese
Listen up all you so-called friends, family, fans and followers. I demand, DEMAND to know right this minute why none of you have told me about Boursin cheese? *hands on hips tapping foot waiting patiently for an answer* I have seen Boursin cheese on the grocery shelves virtually every time I have shopped.

I thought I’d sneak away and provide you all with a quickie update of what’s been a-cooking at Walsh Cooks. It’s been a busy weekend. It started yesterday…
Go Riders
I am in love with Rider fans. They are all over Edmonton right now, and the positive vibe these people have is uplifting and a ton of fun. Having lived in both Edmonton and Calgary, I have to admit Rider fans win for enthusiasm and devotion, hands down. I was searching for an image to…
What’s for Supper?
I was challenged today. A friend commented that I haven’t posted “in a while”. I haven’t been cooking all that much lately, and have been a busy Castor canadensis (beaver, busy beaver) doing a bit of this and that, here and there. But I can rise to the challenge. I flew home on the bus,…
