seems to be a catch in their throats. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s the way I told it. The joke didn’t go down right.


“Then I got to thinking about it. I guess because that morning I was getting out of the bunk and I had to stop. I couldn’t re- member which end of the train I was on. Like if I was leaving or coming back. It could happen to anyone. And it’s happened before. “But I thought to myself, I’ve left home so often that I don’t notice any more. I guess it’s lost its pull. You’ve got to stay in one place to make it feel like somewhere you’re coming from. All of those years of coming and going and going and coming, it never got worked out. And home got worn away.


“I’m thinking this to myself and mean- while I have to serve the old doll her fruit cup for dessert. She digs right into it. She’s hungry now. She’s all cheered up and I know it’s because she’s got home straightened out. She knows just where she’s coming from and she knows just where she’s going. And I’m standing over her feeling sort of queasy. The other fellows are sliding around me and I guess they’re wondering what’s up because I got plenty of tables left to serve. But right then and there I just don’t give a damn. My hands are weak and nervous and I’m looking at the blur outside the window, the rocks and trees all whizzing by. They’re falling side- ways and now it seems unnatural. I never looked at them that way before and I can see how the old doll got all mixed up. The only difference is, who am I going to ask which way is home?” Through the Window of a Train is avail- able in paperback direct from Borealis Press.

Eat Play Love — Regionally Inspired Cuisine by Rocky Mountaineer: The sec- ond discovery came in a press release head- ed, “Rocky Mountaineer Introduces Its First Cookbook.” In Eat Play Love, we’re told, “Renowned Executive Chefs Jean Pierre Guerin and Frédéric Couton recreate the

train’s onboard culinary journey in (a) col- lection of western Canadian inspired recipes and photos.”


Railroad cuisine is marked by three


things: Everyday common ingredients, few preparation steps, and being quick to table. These recipes are no exception, and passen- gers take notice. Typical of passengers ex- posed to the high-end cuisine of dining cars throughout history, those on board the Rocky Mountaineer often ask questions about the ingredients and techniques used. Here you’ll find beautifully-illustrated and helpful answers in recipes drawn from the train’s breakfast, appetizers, main courses and desserts, with brief essays on five “Western Canada Culinary Regions.” Here, to stimulate your taste buds - or to get you into the kitchen, is one of the train’s most popular dishes (it’s also illustrated on the book’s cover).
