Hi Folks: Last year we did our Food post on pumpkins (A Plethora of Pumpkins) after Hallowe’en but we thought maybe this year we could be proactive. With Thanksgiving recently behind us, what better time to talk about pumpkins? In last year’s post we offered up some of our favourite Continue Reading →
Hi Folks: Since Canadian Thanksgiving and Hallowe’en have come and gone and American Thanksgiving is just around the corner, this time of year there are a plethora of pumpkins about. Most often used to make Jack-O’-Lanterns and then either left to rot or offered up in tribute in some form Continue Reading →
Hello Dear Reader! Well, we’ve had a few culinary adventures to share with you this month. Before we get to that, however, earlier this month Marcia went out to dinner with the folks she works with at a restaurant downtown. She ordered the equivalent salad to the one we’d shared Continue Reading →
Hi Folks: It’s Pi Day once again (3-14) and so today we celebrate all things irrational as represented by that most well-known irrational number (π).

Hi Folks: This marks the second pandemic Holiday season, and things continue to ebb and flow.

Hi Folks: It’s that time of the year (3-14) where we get to celebrate all things irrational, and so as we’ve done for several years now we thought we’d add a recipe or two. Mike’s Auntie Dona – at various stages in her life – ran a bakery, a restaurant, Continue Reading →
Hi Folks: In Marcia’s family the favourite meal to eat-out has always been breakfast. On the road? Get up early, take on a few miles (or kilometres), then pull over and have a hearty meal. Victoria is blessed with many fine restaurants that are open for breakfast, and today we Continue Reading →
Hi Folks: It’s Pi Day! (3.14), so in honour of that most famous of all mathematical constants we thought we’d do something completely irrational and post a couple of recipes. Pi(e) recipes, of course. And a story or two. There weren’t a lot of male cooks around in the circles Continue Reading →
Hello Dear Ones! Hallowe’en costumes and appropriate masks have been ghoulishly and delightfully impressing us wherever we have gone today. In fact they have been quite noticeable all weekend long.
