Donna Lynn and Kaybo,

You just GOT take the Curly Girls to Heritage Park to ride the steam train, the paddle boat, go to the candy store and buy bread at the old bakery.

And you know Calgary has Dim Sum too...

I used to go for Dim Sum at the Silver Dragon - in Calgary.

In and around Nov. there is an early event at the Jasper Park Lodge  called Christmas in November it is absolutely divine a little pricey but very worth it! They decorate to the nines and it is so beautiful there. There are sleigh rides ad skiing and ice skating and bon fires.So much food and drinks too.
I think we should have a AN retreat there anyways because it is just so beautiful!!!!

Are you two talking about the “Fairmont” Jasper Park Lodge?

I love toast- especially with melted butter, honey and Cinnamon!

Thanks Michelle- HUGS

We have been to Heritage Park twice - once before the girlies were born (but with all our nieces & nephews) and once with the girlies when we all went.  I have the most AMAZING pictures from there.  In fact, a couple that are in the rolling slide show (on the right of my blog) are from there - they are the ones where the girlies have on Western shirts and their hair braided since we had been to a pancake breakfast...LOVE it!

Sorry I'm late on receiving the invite, but I'll bring poutine.

Poutine eh?

You know I have had french fries with gravy but never with cheese curds.

The party is going week long... so by all means bring some Anne Marie.

(I am going to get really fat this week as I start looking up all these foods and trying these out )

Cheryl,

By the way Tim Horton's first coffee shop opened in the mid 60's, on Ottawa St here in Hamilton, On Canada.  As a kid the donuts were great.  As an adult when I am working I drink a cup of Tim's coffee everyday.  Here in Hamilton there is a Tim Horton's Donut Shop on almost every major intersection's corner.  A favourite for the Cops to hang out in since may retired Cops buy franchises.

Today Tim Horton's donuts are not made from scratch.  They are made in a plant, partial deep fried and than baked off and dressed in the local stores.  Now I prefer to buy donuts from a bakery called Sweet Paradise.  Their donuts are the heavenly  .  Brings back childhood memories.

Happy Anniversary!!  I can't believe that I only saw this post today! 

Anyway, what is clearly missing from this virtual smorgasboard of gastronomy is some Italian food, so I'll whip up my famous meat sauce and (with all due respect to the vegetarians) a grilled vegetable pizza with fresh mozzerella.  Oh, and a nice bottle of chianti!

Happy, happy anniversary, Daisy!

Thanks Debbie!

So glad you can come.

SO what is the Secret ingredient to your Italian sauce- will you tell us?

I forgot I have a couple packages of Tim Tams in the freezer,left over from Targets selling of them last winter.      They are good till Nov so better be getting them ate.             I could have brought them to the symposium.    Darn!                 I would think World Market should still have the authenic ones.         Des Moines has one but I never go in there.   
Also to add that I was surprised to hear about Sen Kennedy also as did not realize he had become in  a worse condition.   The media always seemed to get across how well he was doing.               My sympathy to all who had connections to him and his family.

DHM -

So glad you asked!     My "secret" ingredient is to add a couple of lamb chops to the sauce while it is cooking (along with some boney beef of some sort) and a large dollop of red wine.  I also shred some carrots, which helps it to thicken up. If I can find marrow bones, I add a few of those because they give it a wonderful depth of flavor.  It is best when cooked long and slow; and it's always better the second day...  Heck, I made myself hungry. 

I am intrigued by the whole Tim-Tam thing - never had one!

TIM TAMS!!! TIM TAMS!!!!  TIM TAMS!!!!!!

Official Snack Food of the Goode Ship Princess Batty Wench!!  I have had no less than 4 forum members mail me Tim Tams,  2 of them all the way from Australia.  The Dark Chocolate Cherry ones were my faves, but I also love the Originals.  The note from Laz said they were best "eaten from the freezer" but did you know the light goes out when you close the door?  Seriously!!!!
