I started this blog just for fun, and I’ve been extremely flattered at the attention it’s received. Along with the attention, though, have come the product offers.
Usually it’s a marketing firm, acting on behalf of a company, who is looking for someone to send free samples to. They do a few Google searches, find some [...]
Thanks for your patience! We’re back from our long road trip to the States, finally. It’s wonderful being able to see my family, but I’m happy to be home (and the cats are certainly happy to see us, too.)
One of the stops on our trip was to have Thanksgiving dinner with my mother’s family in [...]
So, we’re on our way to visit family in Ohio. As a result, I’ll be “afk” until we get back. Winnipeg Eats will return when I do! See you then!
Before I started this blog, I was taking photos of our dinners. I posted a few of them to my personal journal, and got some good feedback. My husband took some of the photos to work to show his co-workers (and sometimes to help illustrate a particular recipe they were talking about), and the common [...]
My newest article for Food for Thought has been posted, featuring the Forks Market.
We love visiting the Forks, no matter what time of year it is. I think most Winnipeggers feel the same way, and it was nice to be able to (virtually) share the place with people who might not be familiar with it.
Oooh! [...]
Sorry for the lack of post-age recently. We’re slowly gearing up for our yearly vacation, and that has taken up a lot of my brain cells.
I read an interesting post a while ago (Oct 12?! good grief) on Tigers & Strawberries. Barbara wrote about the phenomona of “picky eaters” when it comes to kids. A [...]
Due to my work schedule and a few other concerns, we had our Thanksgiving dinner last weekend. We decided to do a 100 mile Thanksgiving dinner, and I wrote about the experience for Foodtv.ca.
It was a huge amount of work putting this dinner together, mostly through planning out what to have and where to get [...]
So, two weeks ago my hard drive blew up. Yes, the new one.
After over a week of tears and sweat, I am back up and running once more. Profiles restored, photos relocated, passwords remembered. It’s amazing how much stuff is kept in these little boxes… And this time, I’m running on a RAID 1 so [...]
Folklorama is over for another year! It was a blast as usual (although I’m still wondering what happened to the First Nations pavilion this year. Were they not able to get a sponsor? I really hope to see them back next year, as they are always one of my favorite pavilions.)
You can read my [...]
My next post is up over at Foodtv.ca. This time I wrote about going strawberry picking.
I am now coming to you from a brand-new desktop/gaming rig… Which also means that all of my photos are trapped on my old hard drive (as well as my photo editing software!) so I can’t post any pictures [...]
