As promised, cornmeal muffins! They're equally delicious with stew or for breakfast. I don't have a particular trick for cornmeal muffins and pretty much follow the recipe on the back of the bag of Purity cornmeal. Here it is, just in case you need it: 3/4 cup cornmeal 1 1/4 cups milk 1 cup all-purpose …
{Sylvia Koreen photo.} I love a classic Hudson's Bay blanket. Whenever Nick and I are in Edmonton and visiting his dad or my parents, I'm envious of their respective blankets. On Saturday, I was on Facebook and saw that Sylvia, Nick's dad's partner, had painted their hallway inspired by the blanket! I think it looks …
{Candles make grey weather so much more cozy.} This week started out beautifully, with our impromptu trip to Victoria. It's ending on a super busy note, but that's just the way things are! I'm hoping that after this weekend I'll be on the homestretch in current freelance work. We have a relaxing evening planned and …
Since the weather has turned chilly in the last few weeks, I've had a serious hankering for stew. Lucky for me, my dad hunts and is generous with the contents of his freezer, so I made venison stew to kick off autumn right. You could easily use beef instead, but if you're lucky enough to …
Vancouver (from Victoria)! P.S. More 'On My Way To ...' posts, if you're so inclined.
Nick and I had the most magical weekend in Victoria. We realized that we've been there five times together, but this weekend was magnificent! We ate some great food, drank some delicious whiskey and generally loved the city. Victoria might be my new favourite getaway from Vancouver. It's just a hop-skip-a-bus-a-train-a-bus-a-ferry-and-a-bus away!
{Because, we've needed them lately and I'm glad that I bought them last year.} It's been a pretty good week, but a bit crazy! It's officially fall today, though it's felt that way for a week or two already. I've decided that the ol' blog header needed some new clothes for the season (and probably …
I read Three Day Road about a month ago but let me tell you, it is a book that sticks with you! It has the hallmarks of classic Canadiana: isolation and nature. It was not an easy read, friends. It's sad and totally absorbing, but totally worth the read and incredibly well-written. I read it …
{Ginger tea in a tea pot taken from the trailer on Denman Island aka, the best tea pot ever, and yummy ginger tea.} Though autumn signals impending gloom, I think it's my favourite season! (I can't believe I just admitted that, since summer is the usual choice.) Growing up in Edmonton, where you'll miss autumn …
{Having morning coffee in bed on a week day is pretty luxurious.} This week has flown by. I managed to get quite a bit of work done this week, will fitting in some exercise and a bit of fun, too! This weekend will be pretty low key and I'm actually okay with the rain in …
