I’m down and out with a cold and cough. I have a cough that sounds like a seal bark and draws a lot of attention. I find it best to stay home because on the bus, people move away from me and people at work ask every five minutes if I’ve gone to see a…
Green Tomato Chow Chow
My most wonderful friend Sandra, who recently bought all available canning jars from our family garage sale at the farm, presented Michael and I with a jar of something called Green Tomato Chow Chow. When it was described to me, in my head, I did a silent vomit and gag. I mean really. And look…
Wine Guilds. Read This First.
Are you sipping some wine right now, starting to feel a bit like a aficionado, swirling that wine around in your glass, giving it deep sniffs, airy sips, dainty front-of-mouth gargles over your tongue? Thinking life is fine, if not grand, and wonder how life would be without lazy late afternoons, golden sunlight setting through…

It’s like visiting family. I have two “for real” Uncle Eds, so going to Uncle Ed’s Restaurant for perogies and verbal sparring is become as traditional as wine on Friday night. The ladies who work here remind me of family. They treat me like family, except the best part is they haven’t (yet) tossed me…
You Found Me!
I liked Blogger. It got me started and established in the blogosphere, but the time has come to move on to Word Press, which seems to me, a very popular tool to blog with. So here I am. You found me. I’m so happy you did. I had this fear I would leave behind all…
The Bothy
Earlier this year, Michael and I attended a silent auction fund raising affair at the Varscona Theatre called the Crystal Ball. It was a hoot, and I came home with lots of loot (mainly on account of not understanding that I could have bid amounts lower than the suggested price, and just bid the value)….
Morning Coffee Haiku
WaterFlows over beansInto meEyes awakeCoffee I started drinking coffee in high school, and I haven’t looked back. I remember many, many mornings sitting with my Mom at the kitchen table, both of us reading the morning paper, chatting, and drinking coffee. I remember this as one of my favourite parts of the day. Coffee at…
