WELCOME



Every week my husband and I try a new breakfast spot in Calgary. I'd love to share the experience with you. I'll include where we went, what we ate, what we thought of the restaurant and a link if you're interested in trying them out!

Reading is a passion of mine and in the past, I've shared some of my favourite reads. My reading interests have changed over the years and although I still enjoy a good self-help book, fiction is a solid second.

There you have it! Two of my favourite things, eating out and reading!

Week 12: Diner Delux

This week we decided to go for breakfast at a place I had been to several years ago and remember enjoying the vibe although details eluded me.  Diner Deluxe is located at 804 Edmonton Trail NE
The location is a bit tricky to see from Edmonton Tr. so keep your eyes peeled!  This is a classic diner with requisite bits of chrome, a long sit-down counter and a cozy feel with nostalgic, retro style features.  We were greeted by a rather unfriendly hostess but our very welcoming waitress, Kaley, made up for the abrupt introduction to Diner Deluxe!

The menu is everything you'd expect including bennys, skillets, omelettes, waffles and frittatas.  Whenever we experience a really good coffee we check the blend and this is Phil & Sebastian Coffee. A great introduction to any restaurant is that first sip of a delicious brew!



Huevos Rancheros
Egg White Frittata
 Bill ordered the Huevos Rancheros from the "classics" portion of the menu and I ordered the Egg White Frittata.  These were both huge meals and neither of us were able to finish although we came respectably close!  The ingredients were fresh and the Huevos Rancheros was full of delicious vegetables and spices!  Our waitress was exceptional and made our Diner Deluxe experience fun!


Always worthy of mention are washrooms, and in this case BONUS kudos for having both men's and women's facilities!  Diner Deluxe is definitely a spot we would go to again!  

And now, the Book!

This week I was listening to an interview that Jennifer Weigel did with author and medical intuitive Carolyn Myss.  She referenced a book that she (Jennifer) had written and it sounded interesting.  It's called Psychics, Healers & Mediums, A Journalist, a Road Trip, and Voices from the Other Side.  She interviews eight people with varying abilities and gifts including some I have heard of or read and a few I hadn't.  The author looks for commonalities and ways to verify the information she receives from readings while maintaining a journalistic perspective.  It's a pretty quick read and offers some very interesting insights.  I really enjoyed it!!
