The best shortbread cookies
I’m going to warn you…these cookies are so addictive. I’m not even exaggerating when I say that I think that these are the best cookies ever. My MIL made some one year and filled a cookie jar for the annual Christmas gift exchange. We all fought over it – kids and grownups alike, stealing the precious … Continue reading
Meyer Lemon Marmalade AKA sunshine²
The Meyer lemon curd from my last post is sadly, nothing but a distant memory now. I only have the photo below to remind me of just how much an inanimate object could (and did) brighten up my day. I have been madly debating whether or not I really should make more….or if I should attempt to make … Continue reading
Meyer Lemon Curd
Meyer lemons are abundant in the shops right now. I want to do absolutely everything I can (pun intended) with these little bundles of juicy heaven. Even a quick whiff brings me out of my frozen state of winter existence. In case you were wondering…when I started writing this, it was a balmy -30°C outside with a windchill … Continue reading
Brrr….it’s Winter!
‘Nuf said. This guy Vinny seems like a comedian. I’m sure that there are a few people in town who would like to meet him.The photos are taken about 9 months apart from my building. Love the fact that he spaced out the letters so nicely, and gave up a couple of his lunch hours to do … Continue reading
My CharPOP experience
CharPOP was Calgary’s first attempt at a temporary restaurant – created at a secret location for just three days (January 15-17). CharPOP featured the amazing talents of Canadian chefs Connie DeSousa, John Jackson and Grant Van Gameren along with baker Aviv Fried. Bookings were extremely limited with two seatings nightly. Reservations were capped at a maximum request of four diners … Continue reading
Eating out way too much lately
Wow, I’ve been slacking off these past two months and not really posting a heck of a lot. I really have no excuse. We all need to eat… So here are some tasty pictures of things I’ve eaten over the past little while. But the real treat is still to come (next post, I promise). … Continue reading
Cute is everywhere!
I saw this the last time I was out grabbing a quick bite to eat. Sorry about the lighting….but it’s so cute! (FYI – I agree with Luke, the Wild Boar burger was “dulishis”)
Easy Banana Bread
I’m a creature of habit. Some may call me overly predictable because I really don’t like surprises. Think about this…for a certain milestone birthday a couple of years ago…I was privy to the details of my own “surprise birthday party”. Not only did I find out what we were having for dinner, but also who … Continue reading
A Long Lost Commercial…Athletes in Motion: Slide Show
I have been looking for a copy of this video for a while now, so it was a wonderful surprise to finally find it online. Last year, before the Vancouver 2010 olympics, I had the amazing opportunity to work with a couple of dear friends (Don and Bryon) on this short commercial funded by Bravo!FACT. … Continue reading
“I’m Crabby” – Imitation Crab Meat turns into a Pasta Salad
I’m a sucker for purchasing items on sale. One of the items I like to stock up on when it goes on sale is packages of imitation crab meat. Yes, I do realize that it isn’t real crab…but crab flavoured pollack or hake. Imitation Crab meat is one of the few “packaged” or processed items that I purchase … Continue reading
