About the Blog - Fragments of a Life

This blog will contain things I have written; some of my best photos; and a selection of my favourite recipes. I am truly fortunate to have traveled to and worked in fascinating places, met remarkable people, and seen many of the wonders of planet earth. Friends have urged me to write about these experiences and to publish my photographs. Maybe, one day, these will come together into a book. For now, they will be presented as fragments of a life since I am not yet prepared to "retire" and write. As well, for many years, I have been promising to publish my "cookbook". As I cannot get my act together to edit that all at once, I will start publishing those recipes one by one.

Cheesey Tortilla Roll-Ups

Submitted by Christine Baghdady who says: “I asked my cousin (Myriam Murray) for a recipe. In my family, I am the eater... and she is the awesome chef...” Myriam and Christine sent this from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.


8 ounces cream cheese, softened
½ cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (more if you like)
6 ounce can of diced green chillies
1/4 cup chopped black olives
1 tablespoon powdered Ranch dressing (buy a small bag and seal the remainder for use later)
2 drops of Tobasco sauce (more if you like it hotter)
10 large flour tortillas (these can come flavoured, e.g., pesto and garlic flavour)
  • In a medium-size bowl, mix together all the ingredients, except for the tortillas. 
  •  Spread the mixture over each tortilla (not too much) and tightly roll each tortilla into a tube. 
  • Wrap each tortilla in wax paper and place in a container to keep them nice and snug. 
  • Chill in refrigerator for at least an hour. They can also be made a day in advance and refrigerated. 
  • When ready to serve, discard wax paper and cut each tube into 1 inch slices. 
  • Serve with your favourite salsa.
