The fella: What is it? Me: Quinoa. The fella: What is it? Me: Quinoa. It’s an ancient grain. All the people who eat things we’ve never heard of eat it. You know. Hipsters. ’Sposed t...
It’s time for another episode of the much beloved series Will They Eat it?! Today’s food was requested by “Holly”. Maybe they will, maybe they won’t. They’re chick...
If you live in Ontario and are a lover of all things old, musty and entertaining you were at one of two places this past weekend. A retirement home drag show … or The Christie Antique Show and ...
As you’ve seen by now I ripped out a lot of my front yard and started from scratch. Overgrown bushes? Gone. Scraggly bushes? Gone. Possibly possessed bushes? Gone for good. Yup. I performed an ...
Yeah. I said it. June. June 3rd. I am now writing menus for June. What the hell happened? My mom (Betty) still has her winter cold! How could we possibly be into June? I’m pretty happy about it...
Well, I’m really glad that a) a lot of you sent in photos of clothing that you’ve saved for years. This would have been a really boring post if you hadn’t. And I’m really glad...
It’s that time again. Time to give thanks. Not to your Lord and Savior. Not for your Health. You will also not be required to give thanks for the fact that you looked really good the last time ...
Not convinced about the depth of my mason jar love? Please observe. Each of the images below links to a post I’ve done that somehow relates to Mason Jars. How to Freeze things in them, m...
It’s done. Kind of. Actually it’s not done. A vegetable garden is never really “done”. It’s what’s known as a constant work in progress. So, more preciesely, it...
No post today. Sorry. But it’s true. Well, not entirely true (clearly), since you’re sitting, reading a post right now. I suppose what I meant to say was the post you might have been EXPE...
In honour of these creatively chic chicks my sister crafted I am going to write this entire post using only words that begin with the letter “C”. Clearly crafty city ...
The website Kickstarter is the most revolutionary tool in the world of business today. And I say that with all the confidence of someone who knows absolutely nothing about business. So there. ...
You haven’t lived until you’ve eaten a pickled beet. Unless you’ve been on an African safari. That’d probably win out in the “you haven’t lived until you’ve ...
As you know, I was once married to a stuffed animal. No wait. Wrong story. As you know, I’m growing my own vegetables from seed this year. I ordered a bunch from Cubits and Twig & Tree and ...
Next weekend is the official “GO AHEAD AND PLANT YOUR TOMATOES’ weekend in Southern Ontario. That means supposedly the chance of frost has passed. May 10th was the actual frost free date,...
If you’re over the age of 20, chances are you have a piece of clothing you just can’t get rid of. If you’re me, chances are you have several pieces of clothing you can’t get r...
I can’t remember exactly when the last time we discussed television shows was but I think I was in my HBO phase. I’m pretty much always in my HBO phase. Which is a bit of a shame, because...
The fella sometimes travels for work. On his last walkabout a few years ago the fella headed to Saskatchewan where he lived for 6 months, flying home every 16 days. He lived in a typical, small Prair...
Well, it’s kind of Guacamole. I figure there are so many different Guacamole recipes out there you can practically call anything Guacamole. Stick an avocado in a shoe and step on it and in some...
Allow me to introduce you to my friend. The grub. As is often the case with my friends, I’m going to have to kill him. It was this little creature that did this to m...
I’m waiting on asparagus. I’m not so super devoted to eating “fresh” that I don’t EVER buy things out of season, but I’ve purposely not bought any asparagus for mo...
Last Friday I presented a tiny bit of a challenge to you all. Well, considering the photo, not really a challenge at all actually. I asked you to come up with a caption for a photo. A p...
Did I ever tell you about the time I threw up a ball of grease? I think I did. It’s a good story. I’ll tell it again. Throughout my entire high school career I ate the exact same thing fo...
The Anatomy of a chicken. by Karen. There are several types of chicken combs. Between my 4 chickens I have 2 single, and 2 pea combs. Single Combs are dominant in Rhode Island Reds and Pea Com...
I hate waking up. Whenever I see a television commercial where some fresh faced woman sits up in bed at 6 a.m. grinning and stretching like the very idea of jumping out of bed to meet the glorious da...
You’ve gotta love an edible plant that comes up year after year no matter how much attention you do or don’t give it. Rhubarb. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. And giving and giv...
Omg it’s gonna be May. Holy crap. Kay. So. I’m still up to my nostril hairs in dirt. No funny. No stories. No anecdotes. Hey WAIT! Did I ever tell you about the time I was in bed w...
Friday’s have become a bit of a playground around here at The Art of Doing Stuff. A day for ridiculousness. ’Cause we all need a bit of ridiculousness in our lives. Unless that ridiculous...
Everyone get ready to do a kartwheel … The Art of Doing Stuff is now mobile friendly. And that’s as it should be. It took me long enough. Not having your site mobile friendly is the blog ...
