So the fine people over at Farm to Fork are in need of your help. Farm to Fork, for the uninitiated: … began with a simple question: in a culture that wastes nearly 40% of all food produced, how do we connect the people who have fresh food to give to those who need it most? […]
One of the items on my 101 things to do list is to “bake at least one thing per month for 12 months in a row, without baking the same thing two months in a row”. I’ve been working diligently to get this one done and have been doing quite well since I decided to […]
It just occurred to me that in all of my birthday festivities, I forgot to have any birthday cake! Birthday beer, birthday shots, birthday food, more birthday beer – all of these things were covered, but somehow cake did not make it into the mix. But I figure +/- a week is within the period […]
I have just realized that I haven’t posted anything about my birthday – well, other than posting on Bethmas Eve. As it turns out, I was just having too much fun celebrating my 36th trip ((Also known as 62. Because who doesn’t love a number that’s a perfect square?)) around the sun to post anything! On […]
One of my goals for this year is to “make 10 meals that I’ve never made before.” First up on the list, which I made last night, was the Cornish hen. I’d bought it awhile ago at the farmer’s market and have had in my freezer ever since. Cornish hen is not only something that […]
It’s 2013 in just over 24 hours, so I figured why not set up 13 goals for the new year? Lose the 15 lbs that I gained since starting my MBA. Seriously. I have clothes that I can’t fit into and it’s not good for my health to be carrying around this extra weight, so […]
I’ve decided to get serious about vegetables. Along with my slothiness when it comes to exercise, I’ve been rather lackadaisical when it comes to my fruit and vegetable intake. I mean, it’s not like I’ve been eating *no* fruits and veg, but I haven’t been eating enough and I certainly haven’t been getting enough variety. […]
Since I was in Ontario so soon after Thanksgiving, my family decided that we’d have a belated Thanksgiving feast while I was there. Being that it was so close to Halloween, my niece dubbed the event “Thankoween!” Thankoween was celebrated this year by my sister, her bf & their kids, me, my mom, my Aunt […]
If I lived in Montréal, I would surely weigh 1,000 lbs. The food here is so freaking good, but so freaking not good for you. Last night after my day of traveling, I arrived at the hotel have only had a bagel and a coffee, a muffin and a tea. After sitting on planes all […]
On Sunday, we made some Irish stew. In related news, I think I’m developing a taste for Guinness. A few weeks ago, I picked up some stewing beef at the New West Farmer’s Market. That was back in the heady days of summer ((Note: “summer” in the Lower Mainland lasted until Oct 7 this year.)), […]
