“Women’s Monthly Madness”? Really?
My friend Patrice came over for dinner today, and I made us some lovely pizza. I did cheat a bit – I bought frozen dough rather than making my own. Because dough has to rise and I didn’t have time to make my own dough, but I did have time to take frozen dough out […]
Last night I went to a lovely wedding on a boat (congrats to Tanya & Barry on their nuputals!). We had to leave at 5:30 p.m. to go to Granville Island to board the boat. But the first game of the Canucks second round playoff series started at 5 p.m. and as we all know, […]
So there’s this other blogger out there ((come to think of it, I don’t even remember how/when I started following her blog)) and I’m pretty sure we are twins who were separated at birth. She’s a scientist and an uber-Canucks fan and blogs about dirty hockey terms ((see here and here for comparison)), and is, […]
The other day I tweeted that I needed an Irish recipe for a St. Patrick’s Day potluck, as my office does a potluck for holidays. I wanted to do something Irish as we don’t have many people of Irish descent in my office ((in fact, I don’t know of anyone else but me, though, admittedly, […]
The other day one of my coworkers introduced me to the idea of mashed cauliflower. “I’m never eating mashed potatoes again!!” she declared to the lunchroom ((A lot of time in our lunchroom is spent talking about each others’ lunches. Everyone I work with seems to bring the most amazing looking lunches. We also sometimes […]

Mine don’t look quite as uniformly coated as those in the photo on that site (the sugar is a bit clumpy on mine), but then again I didn’t use the slightly chunkier sugar that they recommended. Hopefully, as with meringue, I’ll […]
As per Krista Lee’s request, here’s a photo of my “piping dohickey”: It’s totally awesome for decorating cakes or cookies, as I find that it is much easier on your hands to push the plunger to dispense the icing than it is to squeeze a decorator bag, particularly when you are decorating a huge cake […]
At noon today ((3 p.m. Eastern)), the first annual Snow CyberCookies bake-stravaganza ’09 began! Five hours later, two kitchens were full of all sorts of baked goodness! My sister, my niece and my mom baked up a storm in Nancy’s kitchen in Toronto – they made whipped shortbread, chocolate sandwich cookies, peanut butter cookies and […]
When we were little, my sister and I did a lot of baking with our mom. At Christmastime, my Aunt Wendy would come over and we’d bake up a storm – cookies and squares and crazy concoctions from recipes in Canadian Living magazine. I distinctly remember learning fractions in elementary school and thinking “this is […]
