In the months since I started this blog, I’ve developed the desire to showcase what’s good in Edmonton. As I’ve had more spare time to experience events and venues, I have found that I now truly appreciate what the city has to offer. Obviously for me, a part of that is dining options around town. [...]
To follow-up on last month’s post of memorable quotations taken from my page-a-day calendar (which thus far has an overrepresentation of thoughts from Marilyn Monroe and Coco Chanel), here are a few more gems: “If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?” – Anonymous “When women go wrong, men go right after them.” – [...]

All menus for participating restaurants (with the exception of tapas bar Tzin, which may or may not be open yet) are up on the website for your viewing pleasure.

May 17, 2006 was a sad day. That was the day on which the last paper edition of Dose was published.
