The other day I saw a tweet about this recipe. The person noted that he’d been skeptical, but that it turned out to be surprisingly delicious.
I’m no raw foodist or vegan, but I was intrigued. Mostly because I don’t tend to be a huge avocado fan — I have mouth feel issues because of the [...]

I had heard about the fabtastic Burrito Boyz in Toronto for years (warning: website is a Flash horror). So when Sean, our co-op at work, mentioned one had opened in Waterloo, I was intrigued. (And we got burritos for team lunch last week.)
I’ve since been there twice, and may have a problem. Shrimp burrito: You [...]

Last evening Andrew and I decided to get pizza for dinner to accompany our evening’s TV viewing, and to be wild and crazy, we decided to try Papa John’s. (We’d tried it once before, but could only remember that the BBQ chicken one had been pretty good, and the other kind hadn’t really been that [...]

Momentum, part 1
Almost a year ago, I started seeing a nutritionist to see if we could fix some chronic issues I’d developed (my digestive system has been problematic since day 1 — sorry, Mom). The changes and such went on for a number of months, I had to radically alter my diet for a while, [...]

Since I’ve made umpteen of these this season (the apples are really frickin’ huge this year), I figure this is a good recipe to share, and it’s dead easy. Plus, you could be a self-confessed axe murderer, but hand over an apple crisp and everyone will love you. (It’s a mildly disturbing phenomenon…)
This recipe is [...]

I originally found this on some blog, linked from another blog. Page doesn’t seem to exist anymore, so thank goodness I printed it out. Had to transcribe it for my SIL (I made one for Thanksgiving dinner yesterday), so figured I might as well share it with the world. Many thanks to whichever [...]

At long last, last weekend Sherry and I headed north to Wasaga and Kim’s family cottage for a couple days of eating, drinking, laughing, eating, drinking, trashy magazines, napping, eating, drinking, huddling around the fire, beach walks, eating, and drinking.
Alas, this year there only ended up being five of us, but we brought [...]

This is a picture I did not take of a thirty-something suburban dad, trying to maneuver a stroller through the Saturday morning throngs at the St. Jacobs Farmers’ Market, an English cucumber clutched in one hand as if brandishing it like a cudgel against the chaotic tide of hungry humanity.

As I noted in my last post, we were fortunate enough, thanks to Andrew’s charming sis, to get a fabulously good deal on additional Stratford tickets, and so off we went to Ye Olde Shakespeare Towne once again for an evening of dining and thea-TAH.
Thanks to Chowhound reviews, this time we selected Bijou for [...]

Yesterday Andrew and I went for a spin on the Cambridge to Paris Rail Trail (for my inaugural ride of the year, it was lovely, and highly recommended), and made a most excellent discovery on the way home.
Just after turning onto Ainslie Street in Galt, we saw signs for Grand River Brewing on an old [...]
