After a night of perogies, sausage, sour cream, and fried onions, my heart and arteries gasped out and pleaded with me. They said, “Walsh, you have GOT to give us a break, we’re doing the best we can here, but seriously, just a break, even a small one would be nice”. I sighed and listened…
Garlic Spaghetti
Some 20 years ago I went on a cruise with my Auntie Ann through the Caribbean. It was a terrific time. We met some great people, drank an amazing amount of alcohol, did some crazy things, and most importantly ate a lot of great food. It was our first (and only) cruise, but we hooked…
Happy St. Valentine’s Day
Nothing expresses love more than cooking something for dinner that is smothered (dramatic pause) (I am joking people). Tonight, I am making my man pork chops that happen to be smothered with a nice rich mushroom sauce, rice, and some veg. I am not taking a picture of said supper, because mushroom cream sauces don’t…
Jazz Art
Yesterday Michael and I went to our second annual Jazz Art Concert at La Cite francophone, which is put on by Giselle and her nice friends at the Societe francophone des arts visuels de l’Alberta. It’s an interesting, fun, and social affair. Most attendees speak French, and this makes the evening seem like we are…
V Sandwiches

You can find V Sandwiches at 10135 100A Street Edmonton. Phone 780-426-1888. Take a look at their website here: http://www.vsandwiches.com/ This spotlessly clean, tiny little…
Raisin Pie for Afternoon Tea!
What does one do on a lazy Sunday afternoon when they are halfheartedly organizing the kitchen and come across a 750 g open bag of raisins? I couldn’t even remember why I bought them in the first place. I did open the bag and extracted two raisins from the bag, plopped them in an empty…
The Marc
If a picture is worth a thousand words, the the following 11 pictures should sum up our evening … (I apologise for the picture quality – it’s cringe worthy, but I just had my cell phone). Last night Michael and I enjoyed an evening out at The Marc to celebrate my birthday. He left it…
Made it to 44. Again.
Inasmuch I’d LOVE that to be a current picture of me, that’s when I turned 18 or 19 – when gold velvet chairs, shallow bowled champagne glasses, and apparently dropped shoulder sweaters were in style. I have a funny story to share with you all. I wrote to my friend Colette on January 20th, to…
Moleskine Wine Journal
Tonight, it’s a bottle of Goats do Roam, a wine I wrote about before. Supper is my Blog-on-ese sauce, on pasta, a sauce I wrote about before. I feel like an engine running on fumes. I can’t be out of material already! I’ve only blogged for over a year! There’s so much to say! Let’s…
Diner Fare
Tonight I had a fairly interesting evening, enjoying a few quiet beers at the Rose and Crown pub, then chatting with the friendly valet at the Westin hotel who was ever so eager to turn up the heat for me in the vestibule because I “must” be cold (but in fact I was on a…
