On our way out of Grande Prairie, a seven-hour drive back to Calgary, we had to make an unscheduled stop when Jason spotted H & M Meats — home of “the best beef jerky ever” he said. We were hit by that cold, sterilized air as soon as we walked into the butcher’s. The industrial fridges [...]
This is 18 pounds of poultry, also known as a turducken: a deboned chicken stuffed in a deboned duck stuffed into a partially boneless turkey with layers of bread stuffing throughout. It’s supposedly Cajun in origin, sometimes attributed to this chef who looks like Dom DeLuise, but the UK also has a history of stuffing [...]

These are photos of the Fantasia ($15.99 [...] This is Kamil, a butcher in Azerbaijan, and I just loaned him $25 to go towards buying two calves. I also loaned $25 to a woman in Cambodia to help her buy a plot of farmland to grow rice crops and vegetables.

Perky hostesses, ageless servers, leather-bound menus, Asian appys, signature dip and (insert name)-size drinks. Why do they all end with S — or apostrophe S? But we go because these places are easy and inoffensive. The standbys are there and they won’t break the bank. It won’t be [...] It’s been a whirlwind two weeks. First, a divine birthday dinner at Capo and a few days ago, a sweet surprise proposal from my Jason. Our first breakfast together as a newly engaged couple called for something unique, something special to us. So we went to Denny’s. When we first started dating, we discovered a common appreciation [...] |
