I’m here! I’m here. Just took a weeks vacation to Vancouver Island, with the missions to see: green grass, cherry blossoms, hyacinths, daisies, and streets without gravel. And eat: glorious fresh seafood and delicious pints of beer. Success! We had all that and more. Here’s a picture: I’ll be back very soon. I just need…

Chinese Food Hangover
As with many overweight people, I live with the knowledge that I “have to do something” to reduce my waist size. I have read the South Beach Diet, the Atkins Diet, and Scarsdale Diet. I have watched Oprah, Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, and that man with the big bushy beard on PBS. I read their…
bulk barn
When you adopt a eating clean regime, and you run out of unsalted mixed nuts for your salads and steel cut oats for your breakfast, the best place to replenish your supply is bulk barn. I walked into the store with the greatest resolve. Steel cut oats? Check. Unsalted mixed nuts? Check. Dried cranberries? Check….
Eating Clean
After a night of perogies, sausage, sour cream, and fried onions, my heart and arteries gasped out and pleaded with me. They said, “Walsh, you have GOT to give us a break, we’re doing the best we can here, but seriously, just a break, even a small one would be nice”. I sighed and listened…
Happy St. Valentine’s Day
Nothing expresses love more than cooking something for dinner that is smothered (dramatic pause) (I am joking people). Tonight, I am making my man pork chops that happen to be smothered with a nice rich mushroom sauce, rice, and some veg. I am not taking a picture of said supper, because mushroom cream sauces don’t…
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…

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…
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…
