I had mentioned my exquisite meal at Wildflower Grill (10009 107 Street) so many times to Mack in the last year that he was eager to give it a whirl of his own at the next opportunity. We finally made time on Thursday to go and see if the standard of excellence outlived the new [...]

May and I met up on a chilly Tuesday to watch Without You at the Timms Centre, the latest Studio Theatre production. From the website: “Without You is a witty and charming, contemporary search for The One – a search we all can recognize. Gabriella and Scott are in love…they’re pretty sure anyway. She’s a [...]

Choirs are definitely a part of the season – the Legislature hosts singing troops both at noon hours and in the evenings from December 1-23, even serving hot chocolate to listeners! Choir schedule here. The City Hall also hosts elementary school choirs at noon hour, in a series called Holiday Magic, but with a shorter [...]

With the number of restaurants I have yet to try in Edmonton, it’s a wonder I ever make it back to the establishments that I think are deserving of a return visit. So it sometimes helps to have a sweetener. In Famoso’s case, it was in the form of a $50 certificate I bid for [...]

A profile I wrote about Cindy Lazarenko of Culina Highlands hit the stands on Thursday. I was remiss with the space limitations for that article in particular, because I felt I had so much more I could write. So here’s a quote I would have shared if I had more room: “You watch these Food [...]

Two years ago, when I started this blog, I never thought I would have to defend what I chose to cover. At some point, the majority of my posts became food-related, and I embraced this topic, developing various streams of content, including cooking trials, restaurant reviews, and a weekly roundup of culinary stories. Last month, [...]

Darn, another recipe that was great to eat but I can’t locate on the internet… On a day when I was feeling under the weather and craving something warm with vegetables, I turned to a trusty Company’s Coming cookbook for Vegetable Tortellini soup. I figured the filled pasta would give the soup that extra filler, [...]

After interviewing Eric Ng, the mastermind behind the World Premiere of the Veggie Donair for a Vue article, I was more curious than ever about the event. I bought an advance ticket at Listen Records, and headed for the Hydeaway (10209 100 Ave) on Wednesday evening. While I’m not sure what the most appropriate venue [...]

Two weeks ago, Mack and I took one of the City of Edmonton’s Planning Academy courses. A series of learning opportunities offered by the city so citizens can be better informed on the subject of planning and development in Edmonton, courses are offered at least once a year on subjects such as land use planning, [...]

Thanks to Violet’s planning prowess and Doug’s willingness to play perennial host, friends were able to get together to play some Wii and board games (and celebrate Michael’s birthday!). I didn’t take as many photos as I intended, so I really ended up with one to post. It captures the aftermath of our round of [...]
