Flash: Edmonton's Trolleys Go Kaput

Edmonton city council voted to scrap the city's remaining 40 trolley busses yesterday. Now I know I shall never get a chance to ride them. By 2010 North America will be down to six systems. A sad day for electric transit.

Dinner last night at Gabbana on Jasper St. was total fusion. Onion cream cheese breads, Swedish meatballs with Thai peanut sauce for starters with an NZ sauvignon blanc. Then lemon chicken as a whole breast with a shrimp in a wonton with sweet sauce, and a pork and yam dish with slices of pork atop yam in a slight peanut sauce. Very nice and very different. We enjoyed it.

Off to Regina. Maybe elk tonight?

Oh no! I am really hungry now! Your dinner sounds full of spectacular flavors. I had once a dish of fish wrapped in wonton, also with a sweet sauce, this was at Chinois, an Asian themed restaurant by W. Puck. Your chicken dish sounds like it.

I have to say that really makes me so happy to read your blog, it is great to see how people really knows how to live life the way it's suppose to be, enjoying it in the best way possible.

Lots of luck for your next stop!
