Emma’s foray into the virtues of Manitoba-specific condiment use reminds me that barbeque season is just around the corner. It’s pretty much standard for this crew that barbequing and warm weather necessitates imbibing. We love our Bronsons (our borrowed term for “beers” – informed by the wisdom of The Hipster Handbook), sangria, and other chilled […]

Now that the flood waters the spring season are receding, we can move on to more trivial matters. Like honey dill sauce. And why Manitobans lose their minds over it.  (I know, I know…I’m going to make some enemies over this one!) In this fine city, honey dill sauce is the standard dip for chicken […]

In celebration of Wo’MH’s new and exciting Twitter feed (which tweets our newest posts, photos and links), we thought it’d be cool to put together a list of fellow Winnipeg twitter-ers, both individuals and organizations. If you, too, are addicted to the little blue bird, check out the folks below to see what’s happening all […]

I briefly spoke to friends in Lethbridge and they were enjoying the sunshine and 25 degrees above. […]

Perhaps because I’m new to Winnipeg, I find it exciting to explore neighbourhoods that may be commonplace for most Winnipeggers. For instance, since the 11th of March, I have been housesitting in Osborne Village. Making the move across Winnipeg was a bit formidable. I am familiar with my slightly eastern neighbourhood, and was a bit […]

As someone who loves the experience of “going for coffee” (but couldn’t care less about the quality of the coffee itself), I like checking out local coffee shops in different cities I visit. And what I find really interesting are the treats that make it into the snack section – I remember being amazed at […]
