Life has been happening and I’ve had to be responsible and engaged in said life activities so spending time here hasn’t happened. But here I am! I’m here! If only just for a second. So what can I say about the food world that will tease and tantalize and make you keep coming back here…
Quinoa and Apple Salad
Quinoa is a super food. It’s rich with protein, is a good source of fibre, contains essential amino acids, and looks weird. Ergo, it must be good for you. I tried eating quinoa about a year ago. I boiled some up and ate it plain. I didn’t feel instantly healthy or impressed. More recently, I discovered…
Earls – Who Knew
I was invited to a tasting event at Earls Campus location last week, to which I said yes too, then had to bail on the day of because life happened. So that was the end of that, or so I thought. I received a message from the event coordinator, cate (I type that in lower…
Cheezies
Some sad news in the snack food world. Twitter led me to Brent Butt’s post about Canada’s loss of James E Marker, the man who invented Hawkins Cheezies. Like many Canadians, I grew up with Cheezies. A bag tossed in the back of the station wagon to shut me and my sister up from bickering…
Ahhhhhh Tea!
When my quaint little tea shop closed, I had a decent supply of loose Earl Grey to last me for a few months. Me, not being a business person, had every confidence in the world that when my quaint little tea shop closed, that it would just spring to life at its new location in…

Just look: Michael brought these delicious beauties home for…
Iced Coffee
There is my life before iced coffee (BIC) and after iced coffee (AIC). And I will tell you all this: My life AIC is a very happy, wide awake, and possibly full of future heart palpitations and the jitters, because I have become OBSESSED with the stuff. There are two iced coffee camps. Cold brewed….
Lentil Soup
Tomorrow is Monday, the traditional “fresh start” day. I wanted to make a healthy soup that would last throughout the week. I also wanted to use up the veg I had in the fridge, the lentils that have been sitting on my bookshelf in a bag for 6 months, and one of my tins of…

Cask and Barrel Now Open
Oh dear lord, and it’s located directly between my office and my car (or the bus stop, depending on how things go). I have watched the Cask and Barrel being built, discounting in my mind that it would take months and months so wasn’t paying THAT close attention. However, as I left the office on…
