Things I learned over the weekend: Metal shoehorns will leave bruises with hardly any effort at all People get kind of excited when you serve Cornish hens and leave them whole. Like “We get a WHOLE bird? Each?” Kolach, while the most beautiful of breads, is less like bread and more like a giant pretzel [...]

Last night, when the clock struck 12:00am V and I celebrated the end of February (and our month of raw eating) with glasses of gin and pineapple juice, a bag of chips, and a rotisserie chicken. Yes, I went and bought one of those pre-cooked chickens because I’d been dying for meat and that was [...]

Do you know what is awesome about raw foods? Totally guilt-free indulgence. And by that I mean ALL THE DESSERT YOU WANT! That’s right. When you are eating raw, you can have cheesecake for breakfast and still have room to spare in your skinny jeans. In fact, I would say that most days, at least [...]

I’m having a difficult time today. I feel resentful and deprived. I wish that I’d not committed to going quite so raw. I wish that I’d built in an allowance for even one cup of coffee a day. If not the coffee, then maybe one cooked thing a week. Why don’t I just go ahead [...]

Eating raw has become much easier since my last post. V and I have discovered a number of tasty recipes, and we’ve begun getting accustomed to the methods and ingredients involved in raw foods preparation. Here are a few of the tasty things we’ve been eating recently: Veggie Sandwiches On Raw Onion Bread Raw Gardenburger [...]

Don’t people always say that the third day is the hardest? I certainly hope it is. Today has been a struggle for me. I’m recovering from a bout of the flu, and all I’ve wanted since Sunday is a cup of coffee and a hot bowl of soup. While it would be easy for me [...]

On Saturday, around noon, Jack and I departed for our anniversary over-night in Niagara On The Lake. We weren’t in any rush, since our dinner reservations were for 6:30pm and we wanted a very laid back weekend. Jackson-Triggs was our first stop of the afternoon, where we enjoyed a pairing of cheese and a flight of [...]

After a somewhat disappointing weigh-in on Tuesday, we’ve thrown ourselves into eating better and working out with renewed fervour. I did lose some over the 6 weeks since our initial weigh-in, but the holiday season took it’s toll, and the numbers were not what I hoped. I skipped the gym for two weeks in a [...]

I haven’t allowed myself time to blog as of late due to wanting to make the most of the final week of summer, not to mention my birthday weekend, which was all kinds of fabulous really. Tickets to Bedouin Soundclash and Blue Man Group for September comprised part of my birthday gift from Jack. He [...]

Despite my serious bout of the flu, we decided to go ahead with our trip to the states over the weekend. I was feeling mostly better, and I didn’t want to pass up the chance to see more of America, and to cross a thing of two off of my bucket list. After some discussion, [...]

Note: I wrote this post yesterday, with the intentions of publishing it before the day was over, and then Nelek invited me over to his place and I got totally side tracked. More on that to come, but here’s yesterdays post, today! I was planning to post a review today…however, the foxy Mz. F (also [...]

There are new developments to report in regards to that nice couple I flirted with at Goodhandy’s last weekend! Before I get into the details, these nice people need some names. Hmmmm, I think I shall call them Asha and Holt. So the night before last I got up the cojones to call Asha and talk to [...]

Some of you may have seen mention of it on my comments board, but I figure it’s about time I actually blogged about it officially. After all, it’s a SUPER BIG DEAL, at least to me Padme is coming to visit me in just over a month! Master Anakin (her husband and Dom) has already allowed [...]

Due to circumstances beyond our control, Jack and I ended up having to postpone our dinner plans at Susur until later this week. It was unfortunate, but not nearly the end of the world since we are indeed still going for supper there, we just have to wait a few days longer to do so. It’s [...]

Shasta: Laundry on the go, one sink of dishes done and a second one soaking right now. Are you excited about tonight at all? Jack: Yes, I am eating minimally so I can enjoy a $140/person night LOL Shasta:I’m going to send you the map to Susur so you can print it So we [...]

Earlier this evening I booked dinner reservations for Jack and I at Susur, for tomorrow night. You see, when I read about Susur months and months ago, on my favorite foodie blog, I fell instantly in love with the idea of eating there. It was added to My Bucket List in the hopes that one day I [...]

Beyond the night of the party, I know I haven’t blogged at all about K’s visit or any of the other fun things we did while he was here. Between actually spending time with him and planning for the party and then having the party and recovering only to fly out to Calgary for an [...]

After the complete flop that was Loki (he was totally non-committal as far as getting together went and I only had patience for that the first week) I decided not to mention new guys, and waste perfectly good names on them, until something had actually come of it. So, last night I had a date [...]

In all the chaos since Wednesday, I haven’t had the time or inclination to blog. Now I find myself in the midst of Christmas dinner preparation (yes it really does start days before) and there still isn’t time or energy for writing. There are pies to bake, veggies to slice, bread to crumble and dry [...]

In case anyone is curious, I had a wonderful time over the weekend. V and I had a lot of fun and excitement during her visit and I know at least a couple of you are interested in hearing all the details. I’m generally not one to disappoint, so I’ll get right to it. The [...]
