Mitchell’s Fabrics is a favorite resource for local seamsters. They stock a shocking range of textiles ranging from mundane to exotic and their basement is bursting with a bounty of bargains; perfect for the budget-conscious sartor. Here’s a quick peek into their copious coffers of cloth:
It’s my birthday today! Have a party!
The Tallest Poppy (best known for its family-style Sunday Brunch) is a very unique restaurant. With its own fresh baked challah bread, slow-cooked meals and ever changing menu, The Tallest Poppy is a different taste adventure every time. We started our adventure by perusing the mini library which mainly contains photography and art books. Then we moved on to looking at the art from their artist residency program before having our orders taken by the one and only Kitty.
I had the grilled cheese sandwich on challah with the usual rippled chips and fruit garnish on the side. Thom and Andrew LITERALLY flipped their lids at the sight of the lamb sandwich and Andrew sprung for the salad. Mark ordered “anything vegetarian” and got some kind of custom-made delicious sandwich with no name.
After the food came and went, we just sat there – stunned and satisfied. Definitely one of our favourite places to eat in the city. Andrew went as far as saying, “Best sandwich I’ve had all year,” and took it one step further to say “top five of last year!” Thom’s ‘pinion: “Best lunch in Winnipeg.” (Watch out for our upcoming blog feature, “Thom’s ‘pinion Tuesdays”)

Probably not. But now scientists can find out for sure! New research has found that there are microscopic structures hidden in the bones of dinosaurs that contain hued pigments.

The Albert Diner is by far one of our favourite places to eat. Not only is it right across the street, but it’s also delicious! The staff there are extremely friendly and the dining area is located in the sun lit façade.
But things haven’t always been this pretty for the diner. It recently had to undergo a switching of the hands along with a make over by our Thom and his Nils. Thankfully, the dust has settled and we can eat.
They offer a wide variety of vegan and vegetarian options along with some great local grass-fed meat options. Not to mention their daily specials. The yam fries with their very special lemon basil aioli sauce is highly recommended. I dream about this stuff at night. All in all it was a great tasting time, as expected.
