Tripping my way through life in the 21st century.
This past weekend I had the absolute pleasure of seeing one of my favourite bands in concert. With Calgary not having sorted out their arena issues just yet, Edmonton was the nearest city they found themselves in. This meant that my friend and I got to do something that we haven't done in two years.... Continue Reading →
I don't think I need to say this again, but if I could eat brunch every day for the rest of my life, I would die happy. This means that you all will get to see a lot of breakfast and brunch locations around town. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Especially... Continue Reading →
“Do we really want to travel in hermetically sealed popemobiles through the rural provinces of France, Mexico and the Far East, eating only in Hard Rock Cafes and McDonald’s? Or do we want to eat without fear, tearing into the local stew, the humble taqueria’s mystery meat, the sincerely offered gift of a lightly grilled... Continue Reading →
Sometimes the simple things in life are the ones that leave the most lasting impressions on you. The same could be said for food. Bro'kin Yolk is an excellent example of this. They opened their doors in 2015 with a location up in Symons valley but their farm to table inspired menu has allowed them... Continue Reading →
It's been really humid and cold here lately. Not an indication that spring is on the way at all and it's really starting to drag me down. While the weather may be dreary, it's a perfect opportunity to check out something that I've been wanting to do forever. Hot Pot! As a soup, communal meal,... Continue Reading →
This blog seems to be something that I'm always working on then leaving again. With an uneventful winter and quite frankly, being tired of cooking for myself after these last few years.... I'm ready to get out and see the world again. Tourism and hospitality industries have been hit especially hard through the last two... Continue Reading →
"The trees are about to show us, how lovely it is to let the dead things go"-Unknown Summer certainly took a sharp turn here this year. Within 48 hours we went from sunny and 35 degrees to rainy and 15. The sun is starting to set earlier and is gone behind the horizon by 8pm.... Continue Reading →
There are two things that I miss about Estonia. All of my wonderful friends, and predictable seasons. Saturday it was 23 degrees. Then 5cm of snow and 0 degrees on Sunday with the rest of the week looking to be about the same. Having grown up here, I'm used to not really truly getting a... Continue Reading →
I'm extra excited about this meal! Not to date myself, but many, many years ago, as a young woman with a serious lack of cooking knowledge, I decided to give chicken thighs a go. They're cheap and a great source of protein so I figured I would be able to eat well and also save... Continue Reading →
With our COVID numbers holding steady here in the province, the government has unsurprisingly extended their provincial health measures. This means another two weeks where I will have nothing but time on my hands. With this extension, I would be lying if I said that this second lock down wasn't starting to get to me....
