Calgary Stampede Food Binge 2014: Crocodile Sliders
This year, Stampede featured some pretty wacky new foods, but none were quite as strange as Crocodile Sliders. Yes, made with REAL crocodile. I decided to venture off the path of traditional fair food and give them a shot. After all was said and done, I must say, I was rather disappointed. First of all,…
A frosty finish to 2014’s Youth Week
So how did Youth Week go? This past Sunday was 2014’s Youth Week Calgary wrap-up event at the Deerfoot Meadows Tutti Frutti. Just like at the kick-off event (which Rebecca and Wentao attended on Easter Sunday), youth could pile an unlimited amount of froyo and toppings into “youth cups” for a flat rate of $4.…
Celebrating volunteerism in Calgary

Firstly, what is this? Propell:us (formerly known as Volunteer Calgary) is a non-profit organization that provides grants and skills to…

Subs n’ Bubbles under the sun
Subs N’ Bubbles under the sun…. well, cross out the bubble part.

Screamin’ for Village Ice Cream!
In the day of commercialized and therefore often chemically-infused products, food often falls subject to less than superior standards. Tragically, ice cream is one of the victims. Don’t get me wrong: a cone from Dairy Queen is still a great treat. But in terms of a taste sensation? Something to make your mind and mouth…

Photo of the Day: Spider Web
You know what’s better than surfing the online web (and it’s hard to believe that something out there is)? For a shutterbug like me, it’s catching a picture of a real, live, spider web. They’re rather elusive phenomenons and aren’t keen on being caught on film.

Russia Bans Gays: Should We Boycott the Olympics?
