Recent weekends have been hectic. J has been working out of town. We just bought a house which is going through major renovations. H is now a very active toddler. So J and I have been trying to find some “us time” in between trips to pick tile, faucets and flooring. “Us time” tends [...]
Beefy, beefy, yum pretty much sums up the Cowtown Beef Shack. The Shack serves roasted AAA Angus beef from High River on big, fresh baguettes. To add to its distinctiveness is the fact it is an eight by 12 feet shed kitted out with an oven and airplane-like bathroom. Two people, including owner Brad Johnson, take [...]

A tiffin is basically made up of metal, flat-bottomed bowls [...]
