What does one do on a lazy Sunday afternoon when they are halfheartedly organizing the kitchen and come across a 750 g open bag of raisins? I couldn’t even remember why I bought them in the first place. I did open the bag and extracted two raisins from the bag, plopped them in an empty…

The Marc
If a picture is worth a thousand words, the the following 11 pictures should sum up our evening … (I apologise for the picture quality – it’s cringe worthy, but I just had my cell phone). Last night Michael and I enjoyed an evening out at The Marc to celebrate my birthday. He left it…
Made it to 44. Again.
Inasmuch I’d LOVE that to be a current picture of me, that’s when I turned 18 or 19 – when gold velvet chairs, shallow bowled champagne glasses, and apparently dropped shoulder sweaters were in style. I have a funny story to share with you all. I wrote to my friend Colette on January 20th, to…
Moleskine Wine Journal
Tonight, it’s a bottle of Goats do Roam, a wine I wrote about before. Supper is my Blog-on-ese sauce, on pasta, a sauce I wrote about before. I feel like an engine running on fumes. I can’t be out of material already! I’ve only blogged for over a year! There’s so much to say! Let’s…
Diner Fare
Tonight I had a fairly interesting evening, enjoying a few quiet beers at the Rose and Crown pub, then chatting with the friendly valet at the Westin hotel who was ever so eager to turn up the heat for me in the vestibule because I “must” be cold (but in fact I was on a…
Potato Pancakes!
Supper’s ready, and where’s my husband? He’s with our rental car, a running rental car, with the keys sitting smug in the ignition in the locked car. Michael is not inside the car where he should be. Thankfully, he’s at work so he has a safe, warm place to wait, until rescued. So what does…
How to Find Real Food in the Supermarket
This was posted this morning by Facebook friend and food lover Keith (who is cool in my books because he had a piece of Yttrium as his profile picture once). The originator of this poster is Darya Pino, blogger at the Summer Tomato.
Chrystos rodyvsya
Although born in Canada, I’m Ukrainian. Both my parents were born in Canada, but I’m Ukrainian. My grandparents, except the one I sort of share a name with who was born in Canada, were Ukrainian. And I believe everyone else in my family, right back to the time dinosaurs roamed the earth were Ukrainian. Even…
Chef Boyardee
Yes, sometimes a girl’s got to do, what a girl’s got to do, and my lunch of tuna, celery and carrot sticks, didn’t cut it. So I opened my Emergency Can of Chef Boyardee that I keep stashed in my desk. I was ridiculed and scorned by a co-worker who found me out as I…
A Dragon Roll, Some Banjo, and a Photogenic Cheese Biscuit
I’ve figured out that God sits up there in heaven in his fluffy, freshly laundered robe and chortles to himself as he watches people like me spend days constructing a resolution list, and then, within 24 hours, breaking more than half of them. For instance: Resolution 1: Eat healthy. How can one eat healthy when…
