Recipe Swap: Thanks for supper — and many other blessings

By Lorraine Stevenson October 10, 2012

When there’s something great at the other end, people gladly wait in line. The man ahead us joked he wouldn’t stand this long in a line up for a restaurant. Around 60 to 70 people were waiting outside to get into the noisy, crowded Warren Memorial Hall a couple of Sundays ago — for the

By Lorraine Stevenson September 22, 2012

If you’re sorry summer is over, don’t be. Fall in Manitoba is a demanding time, but it’s also pure pleasure, with its dusky sunsets and crisp colours, and lots going on in our communities.

By Lorraine Stevenson September 17, 2012

The warm spice, fresh-baked bread combo of a newly baked cinnamon bun is, in a word, irresistible.

Recipe Swap, July 19: Make the rhubarb last!

By Lorraine Stevenson July 21, 2012

That’s a recent plea to those baking for the soon-to-arrive young campers at Rock Lake United Church Camp near Crystal City this summer. All cookies disappear in an instant out there, but apparently not the ones with raisins. What is it with kids
