By Melissa D’Arabian The Associated Press I’ve loved chicken wings since long before they were ever a cute little bar menu item, looking more like tiny drumsticks than an actual Z-shaped wing. My mom, a savvy penny-pinching college student when I was born, included chicken wings on our weekly dinner […]
The Canadian Press Don’t discount vegetables when it comes to sous vide cooking, says chef Chris McDonald. People tend to use the device for meat and fish, but it’s also useful for vegetables, eggs, egg-based desserts and sauces that can be tricky to make at home. And even oatmeal. “Your […]
The Associated Press VICTORIA — Canada’s Pacific Coast province of British Columbia on Wednesday approved the expansion of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline from the Alberta oil sands that would allow oil exports to Asia.

Christmas is in the rearview mirror; just about out of sight now. Last week I was packing up and heading home from Vancouver—from a city that boasts about its moderate temperatures and claims winter doesn’t happen. I was seriously misled. The sidewalks were covered in thick ice, with ruts and […]
Joey Payeur In Jenna Walsh’s own words, it was a collection of both moments of brilliance and frustration. So went the tale of the week for the Devlin native, who plays second for the Sudbury-based team skipped by Tracy Fleury, which recovered from an 0-2 start to reach the quarter-finals […]
