As I thumbed through Mom’s latest Canadian Living Magazine, I found a recipe for roasted red pepper and sweet potato soup. Canadian Living’s recipes have never let me down, and with Michael away for awhile, I thought I’d make myself something comforting to make me feel all warm and cozy without him here. Actually, my…
Happy Anniversary Argyll Foods – Tienda Latina
Congratulations to Bernardo and Carlos for reaching their first year anniversary at Argyll Foods, now also known as Tienda Latina!I first met Bernardo this past January, and was instantly smitten with his little shop on the corner of 99th Street and Argyll Road. You can read the original post here: Mexico on Argyll. Michael has…
Pulled Pork
While my husband sits in the living room watching the half-time show at the Grey Cup, singing along with Bachman and Turner (what happened to the Overdrive?) 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,…
No Knead Bread Needs Time
I admit to being a little slow on the uptake as there has been buzz in the electronic world about No Knead Bread for some time now. Several months ago, my great pal from Halifax got on my case demanding that I make this fabulous bread. I think the message was even delivered with FABULOUS…
Cathy Talkin’
The original title of this blog post, no kidding, was: I Thought Sexism Was Dead, Politics, Chicken Thighs, Costco, and Other Matters on my Mind. I was fearful of what sorts of internet searches would land people on this site, so thought I would play it safe and play on Corner Gas’s episode on blogging…
Chaîne des Rôtisseurs
Michael and I were invited by a member of the Edmonton Bailliage of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs to a formal supper. What exactly is a Chaîne des Rôtisseurs you ask? You can read all the formal stuff about them on their website. My quick synopsis is it is group of people, about half of them…
Fancy Dinner Tonight
Tonight’s the night. I just finished hair and applying make-up. Thought green might be nice for eyeshadow. I think I might have over-done it. Oops.
Beer!
It has been day trying to amp up the girlie factor because tomorrow Michael and I are attending an uber foodie evening. We are invited guests to this event, and are certain there will be hoods, fire, horses and chanting at some point in the evening. How can it not be? This group of culinary…
