Baking is the easy part!

I'm excited to be a part of my first bake sale.  I'm baking for Saturday and going to go with two recipes that my co workers are oh so familiar with... S'mores brownies and Lemon glazed sugar cookies
February 11 & 12~ Casel Marché!

Alley Burger (Food truck)

Well worth the wait. Is it the hunger buds that make it better?
Let's see, got there about 12ish, waited in line, walked back to car, actually sat down and ate about 12:50?

Not exclusive to tweets as they have their own website that displays their twitter feed. So for those of you out there who think you need a twitter account (well you should get one anyways...but...) you don't. www.alleyburger.ca
There always seems to be a line up... Anyways, the way it works is that you take one of the small menu sheets to fill out and bring it to the window.
The left column is the Spragg Farm’s Pork and Roasted Garlic Sausage Patty, the right column is Spring Creek Ranch 100% Angus Beef patty. You can choose from, single, double or triple. I know triple?? By the time we ordered they only had singles left. I'd say proportion size is similar to a regular fast food burger patty.
This really is the best damn burger that I have had.


The poutine is more to rave about though. Real cheese curds. Flipping delicious!!!

Without Papers

If I could choose a winner for best pizza dough, it would be Without Papers.  Located at the former residence of Nectar Desserts in Inglewood.  Back to the pizza dough, not paper thin, but thin, perfect crispy texture.

Calgary, Alberta

Monday to Thurs: 11am ~ 10pm
Friday and Saturday: 11am ~ 11pm
Sunday: 4pm ~ 9pm

Prosecutor: Pancetta, caramelized onions,
arugula, bocconcini
My favourite of the 3 we ordered. 

Hawaiian 5-0: Canadian back bacon, grilled pineapple, jalapenos, aged cheddar, mozzarella, tomato sauce.
Don't be deterred by jalapeno's, they won't make your mouth burn. Very delicious.

The selection of Grizzly paw soda reminds me of diner style-teenage-neighbourhood hang outs.

 
Hog Wild: Spicy wild boar sausage, wild boar prosciutto,
braised rapini, fruilano, roasted garlic white sauce
Not a huge fan of the rapini on a pizza, I think you have to have an acquired taste. But good to try.

House made ice cream (chocolate), Note that the banana split. (he he he)

Selkirk Grille

Located in Gasoline Alley, Selkirk Grille is a fine dining establishment in Heritage Park.

Despite the negative comments on Urbanspoon, my experience at Selkirk was pretty good. 

Unfortunately eating on a time crunch, I was unable to try appy's or dessert.  Will definitely be back to try the rest. 

Blueberry infused whipped butter.  Couldn't really detect the blueberry, but I do enjoy whipped butter.

I had the Berkshire pork chop topped with apple chutney on top of broccolini and yukon gold and sweet potato dauphinoise
The apple chutney with the pork was a delicious combo.

 Braised Bison Short Ribs Cabernet with rosemary braising jus on top of truffle scented whipped potatoes,
honey glazed beets and cipollini onions, topped with parsnip chips

A savoury lunch for the winter months.  I love the holiday dinnerware. 

I had the chicken pot pie.  The crust is very flaky and the chicken to veggie proportion is very good.  

Btw, finally found a place nearby serving steamed almond milk.

Yes I had to take a pic of the salt and pepper shakers.
