09/11/2012 Scotch Pies & Farmers Market

Today was Stuart's Friday off. It's been snowing for the last 2 days and there is a lot still on the roads, so we decided to leave the car at home and head out and explore.


We took the C-train, Calgary's rail network to Southlands and went off to find MacEwan's Meats at Suite 17-9620 Elbow Dr SW, Calgary, AB T2V 1M2 where we were told we could find some scotch pies - we found it and found the pies, but they were a bit squashed by the time we got back - they are still edible though - i'll let you know how they taste!





Next we went off to find Kingsland Farmer's Market http://kfmcalgary.com/ this was a good find, lots of local produce and in walking distance of our new apartment which we will be moving to in December. Stuart was delighted at being able to get an excellent curry while I had a tex-mex hot dog, I made the wrong choice.. if I go back i'm going to go for the Indonesian curry.

By then we were really cold, as much as we had wrapped up, the snow was blowing into our faces and our scarves just weren't up to the job, so we took the C-train from Heritage back up to Chinook where we went in search of some warmer gear including some layers. We found these fairly easy at Sportcheck www.sportcheck.ca although to get decent thermal wear we found it's going to cost you - but what price for comfort? Finally we headed back to our apartment, where Stuart tried on and modeled his new thermal underwear............
