More Bling

See the chocolate muffins on the top right?

I ate one- and am going back for more!

Chewy made with the best single source chocolate!

                         

This platter- the owner insists is oven proof, microwave proof and is devine--- for $47.00! 

More Bling!

 Made from recycled chip bags!

Really!

                                                                These vases are from Italy and made from recyled wine bottles!

                                                             The glass bottles on the right are both hand made by an artisan in Calgary--- and mimic the glorious airfreshners- Bergere---- but these are hand-made and only $18.00 each-- yes $18.00 each! I have one Bergere- and now I ordered three from this little shop, two in pink and one in pale lilac!

                                                   In our chat about white paint- this place is almost all white- the owner revealed to me his secret- he used a paint brand called Pride from Rona and it is simply white--- the standard white in eggshell- supurb colour!  I am a Benjamin Moore girl- Decorators White or Cloud White- but this colour worked- and the finish was amazing-- a little way to save some money- a gallon is only $18.00 and he insists it rolls on just like Benjamin Moore!

Bling!

Bling! A wonderful new little coffee shop in downtown Edmonton.... walking past this little delite you think it was a coffee shop cut and pasted from Paris or at the very least a quant little street in Montreal!
Terrific items- very very well priced- I would like to use the word cheap- but the items are not cheaply made- simply very affordable- even for my non-existant budget! 

Katie's Farm Organic Dog Bakery

The dogs- however are starting to enjoy their treats! I shall keep you up to date on how they adapt. It simply seems to me when we are wanting to eat healthier ourselves- and most of the food we eat is not fit for human consumption- what the heck then are they putting in our dog's food? 

I had been buying a treat from Costco and when I read the back it was made in China- had a note not for small dogs and not for human consumption! Heck- if food is not fit for humans than I hardly think we should be feeding it to our pets---- melamine anyone?

Katie's Farm Organic Bakery

In my continued search for organic and earth friendly food I came across this bakery on the web.



Jude sent me some fabulous samples of many of their treats.... my dogs and cat are still trying to adapt to their new food. The cat does not seem too impressed with his.

In my continued quest to eat healthy- for the earth and my loved ones

After much searching- and it being winter here so no farmers markets are open I finally found an almost one stop shop!

Ocean Odyssey Inland 10027-167 Street  in Edmonton carries many different suppliers of organic and humanely raised animal products. Fresh eggs, raised where the chickens can walk around and see the sky! Beef, that again get to actually walk around outside and are not feed corn from Monsanto!
Fish, caught locally- obviously not here in Edmonton-- but from substainable fishing methods- not huge trawlers that rip out the ocean floor like mass cutting of the forests.
Food that is raised with a conscience, to us, the animals, the earth and our children!
This shop is like a co-op- many different venders have little freezers here and you can come and pick up what you need, you can order large orders and come here to pick those up as well.

Ocean Odyssey Inland! 

Bles-wold--- sounds like Bless World to me -- what a great name

Yup, Andy's IGA is now going to carrying the large French Vanilla yogurt again! Yummy!
Imagine buying locally made dairy products from cows that see the sky! Products that have really silly items on the label as ingredients-- example on a milk container the ingredients are listed as "milk"--- just milk-- yup that is all that is in the milk-- milk!

Recently there was an article on the Globe and Mail about unpasteurized milk-- now I am not so sure about that- however  I got to thinking and when I was a kid- and my grandfather milked the cow-he called the cow 'Lucy'-- we drank the milk just after he seperated the cream from the top-- the better to sit on the step and hand curn the ice cream maker to make fresh ice cream. The ice cream had strange ingredients in it - like well "Lucy Cream".

That got me to thinking - yes in fact the milk we drank was unpasteurized! It was fresh from Lucy! Poured into a glass container and put in the fridge!
