My love for rhubarb is no secret. And neither is my love for chocolate. Tangy and tart mixed with sweet and chocolatey… could it be a match made in heaven? Possibly? I say yes. One of the perks...
I’ll admit it… for a while I’ve been struggling with my feelings for mobile phone photography and reconciling it with my feelings for SLR photography. I’m not really even sure...
The Clocktowers own raspberry wheat ale Sometimes, when you’ve been doing a lot of physical work and had a really long day, all while being on the road, the thought of trying to figure out what...
I think… I hope… that honest to goodness spring has arrived here on the west coast. I don’t want to get carried away and cause too much fuss in case it scares it off… but it&#...
One of my favourite parts of being on the road for work is getting the opportunity to try new places to eat! One of the challenges, though, is finding good food. It’s so easy to fall back on an...
I’ve just been in a funk the last week. Post show let down I think. Missing my friends who it feels like I haven’t seen in forever and like my last post hinted… feeling very disconn...
Oh Canada - standing on the opposite side of the Rideau Canal from the Parliament buildings on my first day in town. I spent the last week in Ottawa closing up the biggest project by far, of my year....
Oh My, SalaThai is the latest dining pass package from the fun fellows at VANEATS.ca. I was excited to review this pass – Thai food is one of my favourites and it’s been a while since I&...
… or, as it says on my mom’s little recipe card: choco chip crisps! I suddenly had a deep need to have these cookies the other night. I haven’t had them in years and years. They w...
Do you remember the show Friends? And Joey and his obsession with sandwiches? Ok, well I totally get where Joey was coming from. Sandwiches, or sammiches as I refer to them, are the best. thing. e...
It’s funny that most of the recipes on this blog are baking recipes. In actual fact, I’m a much better cook than I am a baker. And I’m a much more adventurous cook than I am a bak...
March in Vancouver has been suffering from an identity crisis. It doesn’t seem to know what it wants to do. One minute, gorgeous blue skies, crocuses, warm breezes, the next snow, then hurric...
There is a little town in BC called Nelson – it’s nestled in the Selkirk Mountains on the edge of Kootenay Lake. It is the quintessential small town that you see in movies – histor...
I have been struggling with writing this post for over a week. It’s a recipe post – one of my better recipes if I do say so myself! Except, it’s not my recipe. The recipe is from o...
photo courtesy of Ethan Adeland Last week I had another opportunity to try out the newest dining pass from the fellows at VANEATS.ca. Seeing as the last one I tried was a winner, I was really lookin...
Valentine’s Day. I got some of the old school candy hearts from the lovely folks at The Candy Aisle and I had to do something fun with them. I had no cinnamon hearts this year to make cinnamo...
O. M. G. I know what you’re thinking… could she actually be posting a recipe post??? Like I said, O. M. G, I know! Crazy, wild wacky stuff. Pin it I have to tell you, I actually made thes...
There’s not much that will get me out of bed early on a Sunday morning – especially a dark, rainy Sunday morning that should be spent curled up under the duvet. But, a day learning from o...
Yesterday, me and my chum, Ethan, decided to head out for a belated birthday lunch (E’s birthday, not mine) and maybe do a little photo prop shopping while we were at it. We thought we would ch...
Sometimes, you set out to do something and you have all these wonderful plans. Like how I woke up one day and really had a craving for carrot raisin muffins. With maybe a little bit of pineapple in ...
Lately, things seem to be very repetitive out in the blogosphere and life in general. This is my tongue in cheek (for the most part) commentary on it. The photos are totally unrelated. They’...
I don’t think it comes as any surprise to anyone who follows along here that I have a sweet tooth, especially for chocolate. Who doesn’t like chocolate?? Crazy people, that’s who. ...
After our dinner at Kin Resto Bar the other night, my friend, Rosalie, and I decided to stop in at a Vancouver Christmas tradition: Gingerbread Lane at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. Featuring some incred...
Earlier last week I had the opportunity to try out the newest dining package from VanEats.ca. For those of you in Vancouver who aren’t familiar with VanEats.ca, they work with some terrific Va...
Every Thursday morning I pack Sam up into the truck and we head out for the beach. Sometimes we go to lonesome Mud Bay – a 17km path along the Pacific (we don’t do the whole 17km!). Som...
Last week my Grandma Eva passed away. She was 99 – 3 months short of her 100th birthday and my last living grandparent. I hadn’t seen her in a few years – she doesn’t live nea...
After reading the title of this post, the more cultured amongst you may wonder if I’ve been watching Monty Python lately. Not exactly. I’ve been listening to Monty Python. The I’m ...
Last week I received a couple of reminders that I promised a post on food photography tips for winter so I thought I better get cracking before it’s already spring (or at least before the days ...
A tripod. I’ve decided that I have to just break down and photograph with a tripod until daylight savings comes back. Or, at least until we get through January. Right now, I envy people who ...
Theyre healthy because they use low fat condensed milk... or something like that... Tis the season for retail… that’s right… cash register bells. It’s my absolute least favou...
