A Lack of Thought [Almond Mint Arugula Falafel with Lemony Avocado Buttermilk Dressing]

I keep coming here with the intention to write a big long spiel about stuff and things and life… and then I get here and just stare at the page, pick at my cuticles, sigh heavily, and walk away.

BYOB : BAKE YOUR OWN BAGELS!

Slowly I’m tackling baking projects that I once passed off as ‘too _______’ to do myself – whether that was too complicated, time consuming, fussy, whatever. It’s easy to assume that just because you don’t often (or ever) make a certain something it’s because you can’t! Read More.

April is National Grilled Cheese Month

This is a food holiday that I can get behind. Who doesn't love a grilled cheese sandwich? Okay, I personally know someone who probably doesn't like them... but other than her everyone does. Everyone I tell you. Read More.

the best pizza in the city

Yes, I said it. I'm declaring the best pizza in the city. Don't get be wrong, there's a load of pizza options in the HRM and certain occasions call for certain pizza pies. But the one pie that will always satisfy any craving is undoubtedly Morris East's wood fired pizza. Read More.

Birds, Trucks and Sea

Monday morning and the work week begins once again. Temperature is +4.8 but feels chilly. Just checked the weather - rain all week - ugh. Well this is the week I get everything done inside that needs to be done, sure it will drive me a bit crazy. That means book editing and research as well as fi... Read More.

camp

I love camps. I love everything about them. You probably know the type of camp I mean: they're tiny, they all have the exact same wonderful smell, and they're filled with a colourful array of old and kitschy, time-worn and well-loved odds and ends. Read More.

Fortune brings in some boats that are not steered. – William Shakespeare and Chicken Fajita Soft Tac

According to the weatherman our weekend was to be “unsettled”. It was. One moment the sun would appear, the next dark clouds would hover overhead. I snapped the picture below sitting on the deck just before sunrise this morning. No wind, not a sound to be heard. Read More.

American Idol – It’s Still Rock and Roll To Them

Seven contestants and the show is STILL two hours long? Shut up, American Idol. That’s ridiculous.
Anyway, the theme for the evening was rock and roll – no ballads allowed -, and there aren’t any rockers on this season of the show. So some singers figured out how to make it work, and some were t...

Halifax Cupcake Quest

This week my friend Mitch prepared a cupcake quest for me! Seriously, this was the easiest food quest I’ve ever done. I got off the ferry in Halifax and he was waiting for me in a car with 4 little boxes of cupcake magic. Truth be told, I’m not really a sweets fiend. Read More.

Listen Up:: Grounders Along the Line

For a brief moment, “Along the Line” sounds like someone slipped Shuggie a valium or at the very least, like Grounders spent years listening to “Strawberry Letter 23” with the record player spinning just slightly too slow.

Dear Mom on the iPhone: IT'S OK.

Every morning, when I scroll through my Facebook feed, I'm bombarded with asinine posts and updates. I consider deleting my account, but I keep it for pure comedic relief and daily visual affirmation that I made the right choice when I got the eff out of my hometown.
(And party invitations. Most...

HEART, THE EAGLES, RUSH

I hate their songs. Hate hate hate hate. Sorry I can’t write more coherently right now, my nerves get all twisted up in a quivering bundle of loathing and disgust whenever I think about them. And since my local rock radio stations play them every other song, that is pretty often. Read More.

Tink, Tink, Tink

That's the sound of my needles busy at work . . .
First, the baby cardi (aka Avocado) is happily off the needles. It needs some darning of ends and sewing of buttons . . . Ahhh, buttons! Which ones to choose? They could all work, but I narrowed it down to two: the pearl ones and the wooden ones.

I am so proud of Natalie because she competed in her very first body building competition this past

I am so proud of Natalie because she competed in her very first body building competition this past weekend. Being a busy working mom of two did not stop her from reaching her goal which is amazing! We are capable of achieving any goal we set for ourselves with the right attitude and mindset. Read More.

Three years and counting…

Three years ago tomorrow I began this blog after much encouragement from many people who believed I should “tell my story.”
So…I wrote.
And I wrote.
And five hundred and fifty-seven posts later…I’m still not done.

Bulgur Salad with Cannellini Beans, Feta & Mint

Whenever I feel as though we've eaten too much red meat, we take a break and consume loads of veggies and ancient grains such as bulgur. It's this sort of balance that keeps us healthy...I can't recall the last time I had a cold or the flu. Bulgur is made from precooked wheat berries. Read More.

A Happy Hedgehog

A hedgehog in the woods, smoking a pipe and brewing tea. He's using a steel enamel cup, which I love. This is one of those commissions where the patron said "do what you want" which is the best thing ever. It's a gift. You'll always get something interesting with that request, I think. Read More.
