RGE RD market: We had dinner at RGE RD last Friday, and found out about a little market they host once a month! RGE RD will open up its butchery to the public on Friday, December 22 from noon-6pm. You can pick up fresh terrines, rillettes, sausages, cured meats, and bread using grains from local farmers.
Cooking With Style: My friend Kira of Northern Style Exposure is hosting a cooking demo with Giselle Courteau of Duchess Bake Shop today (Friday, December 8) at noon at Manulife Place. Giselle will be demonstrating one of the recipes from her new cookbook. (A signed copy of Giselle’s new cookbook may be the perfect gift for someone on your list!)
Festive Outings:
Lights at the Legislature: Every night from now until December 23, the Legislature grounds light up along with musical performances, ice sculptures, etc. It’s one of our traditions every year: bundle up, grab a candy cane latte, and head down to the grounds!
Candy Cane Lane: This legendary Edmonton attraction starts today! Plan a walk or book a sleigh ride to take in some off-the-charts houses, all decked out in decorations and lights. From now until December 31 on 148 Street between 92 and 100th Ave. Make sure to bring a non-perishable donation for the Food Bank.
Castrol Raceways: The Magic of Lights is on until January 6th out near Devon. You stay in your vehicle for this one: a 2km drive around the track to take in all of the beautiful light displays.
Holiday Mixer: Made in YEG’s holiday mixer and networking event is on tonight! It goes from 7-9pm at The Bay Southgate. Tickets are $25 each or two for $40. Details here.

Follow Friday: A new feature to your Local Love List. Each week I’ll share a local IG account I love (and think you will too). Ths week it’s the Command Sisters! Although they now live in Toronto, they were born and raised outside of Edmonton. I first had a chance to meet these two and their parents when I did a feature on them back in my radio and television days. After years of touring, they just released their very first single. They’re talented, lovely, and a little bad-ass! Check them out.
