Good Friday to you my little monkey butts!Today I'm at Handmadeology with an article on thriving as an independent creative enterprise! Starting up your own company (aka dining out alone) isn't as scary as you might think. Okay, that's a lie. It totally is. I'm uber freaked out.

Peaing All Over the Place (Even in the Risotto)

What up, bitches! (and by bitches, I mean super amazing lovely loves!)...I'll be honest... No shame in it... Not at all... I have a small bladder.Seriously. I pee more often than most people, I think. Tea goes right through me, I rarely make it through a movie without hitting pause and I regularly have to get up to piddle in the middle of the night. In fact, when John and I go camping I have to sn

Goodbye GFC & Google Reader!!!

It's true, my darlings! After much thought and consideration, I'm deleting GFC off my blog as of June 1. Why would I do such a thing?? Especially when Blogger is deleting Google Reader in only more month after that?? What kind of bitchy whore am I that doesn't want her darling readers to hear about her semi-relevant life??

Making Garnish: Kind of Like Making Love (Scratch Celery Salt)

Good morning sugar faces!! ...Or should I say salt faces? Either way, both fit the bill for today's post! Making garnish and flavor enhancers from scratch is all about sweetness. Not sweetness like the flavor, rather sweetness like the action. I don't think I'm being clear, here. Maybe beer o'clock came early today. Let me try again: Making my own garnishes and flavor enhancers is a lot like

Post Cinco De Mayo (The Canadian Way): Snackin' Caesars

Happy Monday my loves!...And possibly, happy hangover. Yesterday was Cinco de Mayo - as any good tequila lover knows. I spent most of the day lounging on my front steps mowing these and reminising about what it used to be like to have an outdoor space to relax in. Now, I'm chillin' 90's-music-video-style with a beer on the front steps of the townhouse and dreaming of backyard gardens and the peace

At least I'm living in a place where I might be able to affect real social food-way change. Way to see the silver lining, no? But how can we affect change when our food ways aren't even understood by the masses

Chessy Oozy Baked Breadcrumb'd BNut & Cauliflower aka Gratin

Happy Monday my loves!Do you have television? We recently bought one - and cable to boot! I'm living the high life I tell you! And while I'm not entirely sure I agree with either of those "advancements", I've developed a new obsession... The sunset channel.You know how at Christmas you can watch the Yule log, 24/7? This is the same idea. But with sunsets. It's ocean, seagulls, palm tress and sunse

The Wednesday Fresh Foods Link Up #25

Hola lovelies & welcome to week 25 of the Wednesday Fresh Foods Link Up!I was having a conversation with someone the other day about how frustrated I've been trying to find good, whole, locally organic & seasonal food in the greater Toronto area. It's either organic OR it's local. It's seasonal, but seasonal WHERE? Pastured meat has not been too difficult to get a hold of - but if all the

January SRC Reveal: Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off

Good morning my loves!To be fair, I already hate pants. I don't wear them. Well, I didn't until I moved to Toronto and let me tell you - it is much, much too cold to wear tights year round. And socks make me angry. My feet want to be free. Free I tell you! Free!And frankly, bras suck. Anyone who can't really get away with not wearing one in public will agree with me here. Am I right, ladies?

The Wednesday Fresh Foods Link Up #24

Happy Wednesday lovelies!One of the trickiest things about working so much - aside from working so much - is eating whole, real, nutritious foods for lunch and dinner. I never really understood people who would say "I don't have time!".... working 40 plus hours a week plus commuter time certainly puts on the pressure. I've found the key is through menu planning and being prepared for the week ahea

The Wednesday Fresh Foods Link Up #23

Good morning lovely friends!Can you believe the holidays are finally over? Back to life, back to reality. A part of me is stoked to get back to eating vegetables and listening to regular music again - yet there is a small section of my little heart soul that mourns the end of twinkle lights, baileys in coffee on a weekday and watching this. Easing my tender heart though is all the left over glitte

The Year in a Neat Little Package (I love me a good package)

Good morning, lovelies!This year I'm a little more on the ball. Last year I didn't think to do a year end wrap up until a week into January.

I've included the posts that seemed to get the most reaction from you,
