On the way home from work tonight I stopped at Sobeys to get some smoked salmon and, $45 later came out with the salmon but also two baby romanesco, some sea asparagus and a mildly alcoholic pop. I don’t know how this always happens to me.
Anyhow, it was money well spent for I got to [...]
I haven’t been feeling top notch lately (mentally that is. Physically: I strong. Like bull.) I feel like I owe a blog after so feverishly blogging for days on end in the past few weeks.
So here is the splash screen for my cupcake blog, which has been a long time in the works. I [...]
Okay so no one that lives outside of Edmonton is actually going to give a shit about this, but a new grocery store opened downtown in Edmonton, to much fanfare; atleast around the newsroom (as I’m sure was the case in every office downtown today.) It’s something the Sobeys chain is trying: “Urban Fresh” concept. [...]
I have been thinking about and craving udon or soba noodles the past few days. I had never really been that big into noodles until we visited Tokyo and I really got turned onto them there. Unfortunately I’ve been working a lot this week so I didn’t have time to go out and find a [...]
For those of you too nervous to click on the roach post, here’s the exact opposite: yummy yummy food.
It’s still snowy horribly here (although as I look out, it seems like maybe the snow has FINALLY stopped) so I made homemade macaroni and cheese the other night. It’s total comfort food, and given the fact [...]
It seems like summer finally arrived this weekend, with the weather a balmy 23′C today. I saw two Lamborghinis and a few bikers out, so it must be that time of year.
Mike and I returned to a restaurant we hadn’t had the fondest feelings for on previous visits. We were craving diner-like food, me a [...]
Two of the things I miss the most when I go traveling and come home again are good Mexican cuisine and bagels. Sweet sweet chewy delicious bagels.
I have yet to find a decent Mexican restaurant in town, so my family and Mike and I often just cook our own - my dad makes a killer [...]
I’ve only had steak once or twice since coming home from Asia, which is really odd because normally I eat red meat once or twice a week. Heart disease ho! In an apartment, it’s kind of a pain in the ass because broiling and frying are pretty much your only options. My dad has an [...]
I’ve always loved cooking, and I think the moment I realized I might be a grown up was last week, with my special shopping notebook and shopping bag at Safeway, meticulously picking out avocados and grapefruit. I compile recipes at least two days in advance so I don’t have to do grocery store runs that [...]
As if to spite me, Mike got the Michelin guide to Tokyo a week or two ago, and I’ve been reading about all the other places we could have eaten in Tokyo. We didn’t do badly at all, but … there is so much left to eat there. Must return. We’ve also been watching [...]
