January 2010

January pursuits are minimal as I am basically tidying up all initiatives started in the fall:

  • cleaning up the back end of this website. I have learned a great deal from Chris, and from the countless hours spent re-formating the information from my old site.
  • entering all of my Christmas Baking recipes
  • initiating liaisons between SFE member and young chefs at NAIT as well as other SFE initiatives:
    • Sylvan Star fieldtrip
    • membership initiative
    • Old Strathcona Farmer’s Market (all markets?) tables… (not this month)
  • training the chefs at the CookBook Company Cooks (Gail Norton’s store) in Calgary where I have placed a Thermomix machine to teach them on how to use it in their  classes
  • writing  my school report cards.

February 2010

February was a rather political month for me:

  • I joined a national group called Bloggeraid and campaigned for HO2pe for Haiti
  • I became involved in supporting the GEA’s position regarding incorporating a local sustainable food supply system into the city’s 10 year Municipal Development Plan


March 2010

March opened up opportunities I had not imagined: IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING

  • The TEDx Edmonton conference was a huge highlight: sensational, inspirational, and great connecting with so many amazing Edmontonians
  • The Edmonton Foodie Meetup was also a fun event for me as I had not connected with many of us in the Edmonton Blogosphere, and it was so wonderful to do that
  • The Date with David Adjey that Diane Begin from NAIT invited me to was a really wonderful opportunity
  • Two students from Kate Chegwin School won at the Edmonton Slow Food Grilled Cheese Olympics which I truly had not imagined, or expected
  • I actually almost succeeded at Mastering the Art of the elusive French Macaroon: Take Three
  • and, I helped Teresa, a friend of mine, learn how to use her Thermomix machine after not using it for the three years she owned it, so I was thrilled about that!
  • London – >>>>> yet to come!
