Ten months ago, my friend Carolyn tweeted this: To which I replied: And as it turned out, I have not been able to stop thinking about it ALL YEAR. Every month on the 20th, one of us will tweet at the other about this and it has brought me so much joy each and every […]
In my ongoing catching up of blogging about blogworthy things that I totally meant to blog about at the time and then didn’t, I give you horseback riding for Alicia’s birthday! It was way back in the old-timey days of late September, when it was still legal to socialize with people from outside your household. […]
First off, I’d just like to say that this isn’t a sponsored post or anything. I just like this app and wanted to blog about it. Back in the early pandemic (circa March to June), I gained some weight, thanks to losing all my physical activity (hockey suspended, gym shut down, daily minimum of 7,500 […]
A few days ago I blogged about Pier Park. Since I can’t go there right now, when I go out for a walk, it’s typically along the New Westminster Quay. Today I went out for a walk after work but before the night class that I teach on Tuesdays. And I ended up out there […]
I don’t have time to blog about my sourdough journey today, as I have a giant pile of assignments to mark ((Well, it’s a virtual “pile” as my students haven’t handed in assignments on paper for about a decade. But it’s still weighing heavily on me!)), so I’m going to skip over a few of […]

But I did manage two new recipes: cheesecake stuffed cupcakes rum punch […]
I made another new thing that I’ve never made before: hot buttered rum. It’s pretty easy – you muddle together butter and spices, then add rum and hot water. It just tastes like warm spiced rum, with a bit of creaminess from the butter. It’s good, but I’d prefer just having some eggnog with rum, […]
Happy birthday, Mom! While I’m sure that this year’s birthday is not ideal, what with the whole pandemic and all, I hope you still had a great day!

The next two foods that I made in 2020, that I’d never made before, were: a pistachio-walnut coffeecake a gluten-free coffeecake The former was from a recipe that my mom gave me – she’d made it at Christmas and it was so delicious, I had to make some to bring to my office. This was […]
