Alberta

The westernmost of Canada’s three Prairie Provinces, Alberta squeezes itself between British Columbia and Saskatchewan, directly above Montana. It is also one of only two entirely landlocked Canadian provinces. Alberta is named after one of Queen Victoria’s daughters, Princess Louise Caroline Alberta. Early Western arrivals to Alberta were fur traders. Only after railroads were built across the prairies did settlements begin to take hold here. French, Scandinavian, Ukrainian, and German settlers headed west to take on the prairie land. Southwestern Alberta marks the transition point where the Canadian Rockies flatten out into the plains. In the 1800s, the plains were killing fields for bison, whose hides and tongues were prized. Though bison are making a comeback, the rangeland around Alberta is now cattle country. Half of Canada’s beef comes from Alberta. Calgary is nicknamed Cowtown and plays host to the world’s biggest outdoor rodeo, the Calgary Stampede. Beekeeping is another important industry. Beyond honey production, the bees keep Alberta’s canola fields pollinated. Fishing and hunting for moose, deer, ducks, geese, walleye, pike, and trout are important in Alberta.

Quick and Easy Pizza Crust

Reviewed on Aug. 28, 2008 by DENA
I used all-purpose flour, as that is what I had. I also didn't roll it onto cornmeal, just cut it into single serving size and pressed it into thin crust pizzas. It was very easy, and turned out good. I can't say it was "great", it could maybe use some Italian seasoning to add flavor. Like I said, it was "good", and I will do it again.

Roquefort Pear Salad

Reviewed on Aug. 25, 2008 by RPCOOKIE
My boyfriend made this for a nice dinner with friends, and it was probably the most fabulous salad I have ever tasted! Everyone at the table agreed, and the word has spread about what a great salad this is (he has already had a request to make it next weekend). The flavors meld together perfectly, and if there was ever a salad that could be described as "melting in your mouth," this is it! We made no changes to the original recipe, other than to use Salem bleu cheese, because we couldn't find Roquefort. We used Bosc pears and spicy brown mustard for the dressing.

Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies

Reviewed on Aug. 25, 2008 by BeckaMax
needed to bake longer then 10 min as cookies were still really soft. I baked for 12min and then they had to set up on the backing pan for another 10 min or so as they would fall apart if you tried to move them before sitting for a bit. I used the same part qhite and part brown sugar as others suggested. Abit on the sweet side. Maybe use less sugar next time. I also added 1/2 c of flour to make the dough more firm. Good recipe for baking with the little people in the family :-) Will make again.
