Some times, just some times, I wish I would just kick back and relax without feeling the urge to take pictures of our supper, our wine, then write about it. But, I love it, so even on a quiet Saturday evening such as this, with a tomato-beef-mushroom pasta sauce on the burble on the stove,…
3:10 to Walsh’s Kitchen
I dunno if it’s seasonal, being 44, or having a snuggly husband, but at 3:10 a.m. I was awake. After scrunching my eyes shut and begging sleep to resume, I gave up, and did what anyone would do – headed to the kitchen to bake a cake. Normal people do that, right? Don’t answer that….
The Other Walsh Cooks!
It can be done! Husbands can cook! Here’s what’s left of Michael’s shepard’s pie. The table was set, the plates warmed, and a plateful of shepard’s pie served when I arrived home from work today. *content sigh* I’ve been dreaming of this day.
Cupcakes Take 2
Around 12 months ago I made cupcakes, but slathered on the icing using a spatula. This time around I thought I’d fancy things up and attempt using a home-made piping bag. The great oracle Google coughed up a few piping bag ideas, and I took those suggestions and made my own Walsh-Bag-2010(TM). I won’t share…
Prosecco to Launch the Weekend
There’s nothing quite like a chilled bottle of Prosecco to launch the weekend. I was lucky enough to have today off, and was able to spend most of it being the domestic diva I strive to be, and had dinner ready for my man after a hard day at work. Tonight wasn’t so much about…
Goats do Roam
To catch you up quickly, I joined a wine guild, got the wine, and discovered it really needs to be cellared to be enjoyed properly… the earliest in the next two years! So I have 24 bottles of wine that can’t be drunk. Visualize a frownie face emoticon here. The whole reason to join the…
Duchess Bake Shop
After our visit at Nathan Box’s Elm Cafe, and our infamous duck sandwich, we zipped over to 124 St and 107 Ave to visit the Duchess Bake Shop for a sweet treat, and another coffee. We walked into heaven. We were taken with the pristine cleanliness of the place, right after we admired the beautiful…
Elm Cafe
We were so pleased with our visit to Elm Cafe today, we wrote a movie about it: Thank you Nathan Box and peeps, for making our visit a pleasant and memorable one. We wish you every success.
Tomato Soup
Tonight, inspired by a Tweet from Jamie Oliver and having a bag full of ripe garden tomatoes provided by our landlord, decided to take a swing at making homemade tomato soup. Not quite sure how to begin, I started with the basics as offered by Jamie Oliver’s recipe of sauteing onion, carrots and garlic. Of…
