A simple meal this evening – a 3-jar meal (meaning we used 3 full jars of preserves to make it).

The transition of Queen Street East (in particular, the Leslieville area) has been remarkable to watch from our window over the last 4 years.  Last summer appeared to be the peak of gentrification and, while the pace of change has accelerated, the topic seems to be all but gone from consciousness.  The neighborhood is growing [...]

I love surprises of all kinds.  One of my favorite hobbies is asking a chef or waiter to choose my dinner if they are willing – I will always be happy with their choice as it`s the surprise that is my ultimate reward.  I love watching other people open gifts – seeing their surprise when [...]

Flying to Atlanta today, a quick post this morning. We went out for a friends birthday last evening to a local establishment on Queen East (just past Broadview) named The Comrade. The Comrade opened about 20 months ago.  I have found the owners (who actively work the bar) to be very informed, passionate and excited [...]
