    FitBit challengers?

    Morning all. The last few years I’ve been looking after myself better and part of that is tracking my exercise with a FitBit. I find that having a walking challenge helps me get off my bum.

    Hi all!

    Not a newbie, but a terrible absentee. Thought I’d just give everyone a little update and then try to visit more often. Both my girls grew up and moved out last summer. Hard but I survived and began to remember how much fun it is to just be a couple again. Had to relearn how to shop and cook...

    Stash tea - D/C faves!

    I drink a LOT of tea. One of my go to favourites is Stash's White Christmas. When my stock started getting low I went online to order more and couldn't. In making enquiries, I discovered they've discontinued it and have no plans to bring it back...EVER. Panic. Amazon has some, I ordered it...

    Popping in

    Just stopping in to let anyone who might have worried know that I'm fine and not affected by the giant wildfire in northern Alberta. Thanks Katie for thinking of me. We're quite a ways south so no danger to us at all. We are instead working on helping the ~85000 people who have flooded south and...

    Reverse Sear

    OK, I've never done this before. My understanding is that you cook low temp til you reach the doneness you like, pull out of oven and rest the meat then sear the outside. This allows for your entire piece of beef to be the right doneness rather than grades from well done to rare. Is that...
