Mack and I watched Teatro la Quindicina’s live radio version of It’s a Wonderful Life this afternoon at the Varscona. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but guessed that it would be a sort of hybrid of the stage reading style of Urban Tales and David Belke’s radio serial at the Fringe I saw a [...]

After another hectic day at work, I couldn’t think of a better way to relax then to wander the decorated grounds at the Legislature. The Legislature grounds, all decked out The Legislature grounds are one of my favourite places to visit during the holidays – it’s the perfect place to stroll with a loved one, [...]

It’s been pretty busy at work this week, but I was still really looking forward to participating in a lunch potluck with my colleagues. I didn’t have too much time to make a dish, and wanted something that could be easily transported on the bus, and served either straight from the fridge or at room [...]

It really sucks for Top Chef watchers in Canada – not only do we get a delayed finale (five days late), but there are ample opportunities for us to be spoiled of the result, as I was watching Conan O’Brien last week (“…and the Top Chef winner, __!”). Worse than that, they just aired part [...]

A few weeks ago, Jenna Herbut, the organizer of Make It!: The Handmade Revolution offered me the opportunity to give away ten pairs of tickets to their upcoming show in Edmonton. In addition, I was also provided with free tickets to attend the show myself, which was a nice bonus, and one I took advantage [...]

I popped over to Kerstin’s Chocolates after a meeting in the area late this afternoon. I had heard about their Name That Origin Contest a few weeks ago, and was intrigued. Kerstin’s all decked out for the holidays Anyone can enter the free contest by simply going to the shop. I wasn’t sure exactly what [...]

I suggested vegetable pasta for dinner one night. Mack suggested macaroni and cheese. He won. We headed to the Italian Centre to load up on asiago, romano and cheddar, the cheeses that form the base for a recipe in the Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives cookbook. And though we searched high and low (read: the Italian [...]

Sigh. Winter has arrived with a vengeance. I suppose the only bright side of it all is that we will have a really white Christmas. If you’re looking for things to do this month, you may have noticed that I didn’t post my events round-up this month. I hope to do it in January, but [...]

I had read about the The Old Bread Factory after it opened in the summer, but the one time Mack and I remembered to stop there, it was already closed. We were in luck on a Saturday night recently, however, as when we passed by the small bakery in the Whitemud Crossing strip mall, we [...]
