Today’s post was delayed for good reason – we were waiting to get the release to share the following two secrets we’ve been hoarding (one of them for months) and the approval came after I went to work. I know I’m a geek but I can’t find the words to say how excited I am [...]

So how do you get to go to one of the foodie events of the year when it sells out quicker than you can swallow a piece of Hiro Yoshida’s maple salmon wild leek sushi? You have friends with talent and great connections (lucky us! we have lots of those). Margaret Mulligan, friend and photographer [...]

I have to say, I’m crushing….Jamie Oliver’s new magazine hit Canadian shelves this month, the second issue. I was lucky to get my hands on the first issue. Joel brought it back from the UK a few months ago and it has been passed around and well thumbed. I think he actually likes to encourage [...]

Yes, we live down the street from a fairly well known local strip club, this post is NOT about the lovely ladies at Jilly’s. This post is about the best vegetable peeler you will ever buy (and the only one you will ever need) the Zena Star peeler …but let’s back up a bit. First [...]

Let’s talk about cookbooks! I’ve mentioned before that I rarely cook, and if I need a recipe for dinner it’s often easier to go to epicurious.com to find something (fast and easy) to whip up…but I love cookbooks. We have quite the collection at home and because of the fact that i don’t cook, and [...]

Last Christmas Joel gave me a 100lb+ small tabletop showcard press, with two trays of type (weighing in at least 12lbs each). It’s definitely the heaviest gift I’ve ever received, also the oldest and grubbiest but I love it. I tried to explain it to our parents who were spending Christmas with us, I don’t [...]
Well Preserved

I’m not a chef, in fact I don’t like to cook at all (that’s Joel’s obsession), left to my own devices i will go out to eat, or i’ll make toast if i suddenly feel the hunger pangs. Often i’ve forgotten to make dinner when i’m doing something I find ‘more interesting’, and go hours [...]
