It was recently brought to my attention that this is back in stores: Granville Island Lions Winter Ale is one of my favourite beers! You can only buy it in the fall and winter, so its arrival in stores is sort of bittersweet, because, while I love its deliciousness, it is a harbinger of cold […]
My office’s annual Halloween potluck was yesterday and, as has become my custom, I decided to make a dessert. Specifically, I decided to make skull cupcakes. And while they weren’t as impressive as the eyeballs I made last year, they turned out better than the short fat ghosts I made the year before that. The […]
The other day at work we got fridge magnets that are little erasable whiteboards where you can plan out your family dinners for the week. I filled out my meal plans for this week:
Today is Blog Action Day, a day where bloggers, not surprisingly, take action. They take action, not surprisingly, by blogging, but on this particular day they all blog about the same topic, thus calling attention to said topic.

So today was a full-day of workshopping, which was jammed packed with information and so my brain is very full! I had to give a short presentation on my project, which seems to have been well-received – so that was good. After the workshopping, I went for a walk with my colleague, Katie, who is […]
Yesterday was Adult Pirate Pak Day at White Spot. For my readers who aren’t from BC, White Spot is a restaurant and Pirate Paks are their kids meals, which come in a cardboard pirate boat with a chocolate gold coin! If you grew up in BC, you grew up eating Pirate Paks and White Spot […]
One of the places we went on our trip to Oregon was the Tillamook Cheese Factory. You may not know this about me, but I freaking love cheese ((My friend Patrice affectionately refers to the two of us as “cheese monsters.”))! When we first got to the Tillamook Cheese Factory, we could not believe how […]
