Goats do Roam
To catch you up quickly, I joined a wine guild, got the wine, and discovered it really needs to be cellared to be enjoyed properly… the earliest in the next two years! So I have 24 bottles of wine that can’t be drunk. Visualize a frownie face emoticon here. The whole reason to join the…
Duchess Bake Shop
After our visit at Nathan Box’s Elm Cafe, and our infamous duck sandwich, we zipped over to 124 St and 107 Ave to visit the Duchess Bake Shop for a sweet treat, and another coffee. We walked into heaven. We were taken with the pristine cleanliness of the place, right after we admired the beautiful…

Thinking life is fine, if not grand, and wonder how life would be without lazy late afternoons, golden sunlight setting through…
Interesting Comparison

Toasted Cheese and Tomato
Nothing in the world is more satisfying than a broiled cheese and tomato sandwich. Add a glass of wine, Mick Jagger belting out Paint it Black, and you have a perfect end to an evening of lawn bowling. Okay okay okay, there are a ton more things in the world more satisfying than that, and…
