Now that I have seen this movie twice, I think I can actually say I fully understand this brain twister of a movie to its fullest. Unless you’ve seen this movie at least twice I’m not sure that you’ve seen all that you really could see. Hit the jump for my full review and then my take on a few points within the movie.

Hey everyone, just wanted to say happy Pi Approximation day… as opposed to actual pi day which is March 14th. So why is today Pi Approximation day you may ask? 22nd day divded by the 7th month = 3.14. Also here is the first birthday card I received today from my co-workers.

So for Canada Day, I decided to make Stuffed Bell Peppers based on a recipe a co-worker had given me a while back, then mixed it up with some past experience and came up with the following recipe. They turned out great, much better than any other’s I’ve tried. I added a bit of a kick and some rice, and it really made these peppers stand out from the other stuffed pepper recipes I’ve made. Read on to see the pictures and full recipe for what I now call The Stuffed Tex-Peppers.

For Valentines Day I decided I should make something my girlfriend had never had before. Turns out she’s never had Manicotti. I went to my family cookbook and found a great recipe from my Uncle Yvon, which involved cooking for a few hours for her. Perfect. Hit the jump for a picture of the finished product and a full recipe to making my Uncle Yvon’s Manicotti from scratch.

Okay I’m going to use the snow storm we had over the weekend as an excuse for the few posts I had last week… make sense? Probably not, but let’s go with it anyway! Calgary got hit with one of the largest blizzards we’ve had in a while, last Friday. More than 1,000 accidents were reported in the first 24 hours of the storm across the city and with winds of up to 70km/h, the snow blew into drifts higher than most cars in places. Check out the full picture archive that reader Bill sent me after the break.

Thanks for the pictures Bill!

While I was growing up, every Christmas our family would enjoy a large family gathering and an Italian dish called Anolini. When I decided I would make some to quench my 5 year long craving I ran into a few problems. First I couldn’t spell Anolini or Annalini or whatever (…Gah! I’ve made my point!) so trying to locate a recipe online proved to be more difficult than you would first think! And second I couldn’t get the recipe from my Aunt who used to make the dish, because she’s currently in Italy. How ironic. Sorta. I also had a bit of a hunch that maybe the name that has been assigned to it within my family, may not be the official name… which may have also lead to the difficulty in locating anything online to help me out. Rather than be beaten by old memories and lack of contact with those who count, I’ve gone ahead and made a recipe out of a few others with the help of my Father (thanks dad!). My hope is that by now posting it online, other people can locate a good Anolini recipe. After the short break there will be a full recipe with pictures of my progress in trying to make my favourite past-time Italian Christmas dish.
