It’s not very often Michael makes a requests for his meals. He knows better. I create what I like in the kitchen, and he eats it. Simple. But this morning, he asked for a smoothie, and I demurely complied to my husbands wishes. Here it is, our Sunday smoothie. Nothing more than whirring up frozen…
Cabbage!
What can make vegetables irresistible? Cook them with bacon!!! Today I was inspired to cook up this dish as a result of getting jostled around the blogosphere and finding myself at Jamie Oliver’s website. I was intrigued by his recipe, Braised Red Cabbage with Apple, Bacon and Balsamic Vinegar. First thought “bacon”, second thought, “a…
Fat Foodie
Amazing how a love of all things food is detrimental to weight loss. Well, I had a bit of an epiphany and realize that maybe I can continue to be a Food Blogger and still enjoy my food. Vegetable food. Which is good and delicious and nutritious food. It just requires a bit of refrigerator…
Happy Easter!
Hugs and love to all, xo
Palm Sunday
Nothing like a Palm Sunday service in a big old cathedral, followed by a walk in a garden bursting with Spring-time bulbs to feel lighthearted and happy. Michael and I have been coming out to Victoria since about 1986, every year, sometimes several times a year. In all those years I managed to shun the…

Sushi v Carmina Burana
Okay, so I left Carmina Burana half way through. Thing is, I was watching my childhood ballerina from my jewelery box writhe around on the floor in a very unlady like manner. I’m scarred. Also, the dancers were doing the latest Wal-Mart ad where they roll-back the prices. Seriously. The show was amazing. The skill,…
Carmina Burana – A Visual and Musical Feast
I’m a food blogger on the road here in Victoria, British Columbia, where spring has sprung. If I were to blog about the food I’ve been eating, you would have noticed a distinct pattern: Pub food. Pub fare. Pub drinks. With one exception when we went out for the floor show at Japanese Village, but…
Vintage Menus Etc.
If you dig history, and you enjoy looking at menus, you absolutely must click to Crazy White Girl With a Kitchen and check out her entry and included links. I post this as a public service to you, and for my own future reference. I could spend hours and hours looking at stuff like this.
Cally’s Teas Celebrates Earl Grey’s Birthday
The title of this blog is a punctuation fanatic’s nightmare. Even owning the book and day-per-page tear off calendar of Eats Shoots and Leaves, I’m still never quite sure if I’m applying apostrophes correctly. It’s a big day in the land of tea lovers, and especially those of us who are dedicated lovers of Earl…
