The Thermomix – Product Review
The company's website states "The new Thermomix TM 31 is not a food-processor - it is the perfect partner in your kitchen." After two days of testing the Thermomix, I have come to call it The Beast with a Brain. The beast and I will be together for the next month and...
Ruby Dragon Restaurant Review
Ask any of your friends in Edmonton where to go for good Chinese food and you’ll get a moan for an answer. The conversation usually ends with this consensus: for Canadians to get authentic Chinese food, we have to go to Vancouver or Montreal. If you’re really lucky,...

While all y'all (yes, that's proper talk down here), are freezin' up North, I'm enjoying a balmy 16C down here in Memphis, Tennessee. And while all y'all are stuffing yourselves with leftover turkey, I'm at the Blues City Cafe getting my fill of barbecue--real...

Moroccan Cuisine in Leduc – worth the drive!
Tucked away off 50th Street, right behind the A&W in Leduc, is a little gem of a spot called Moroccan Cuisine. The restaurant has been up and running for about 1.5 years and I've heard nothing about it other than reading a short thread on Chowhound. They offer a lunch...
Thang Long Restaurant Review: Spruce Grove Pho
Pho, ohhhh blessed, glorious pho! I will travel miles for good pho, and that’s exactly what I did after Matt—a fellow pho aficionado—stopped by my blog posting about the Pho & Bun in Edmonton. Matt left a comment agreeing that the pho there is first-rate but that a...
