Hands down, fall is my most favorite of all the seasons.  There is so much to look forward to, my Algonquin Park Hike, the change of colors and the best of them all, my sister Ayen’s pumpkin carving party.  Every year for the last 9 years, my sister and I have invited friends and family […]

It seems just a year ago that I dived into blogging.  Unsure what to do, I found my way around and got my first post up.  It was my first attempt to cook a turkey, Thanksgiving 2010.  A lot has happened since then.  Throughout the year, I have a lot of things that I am […]

My favorite fortune cookie of all time

January 14, 2011

As promised from the earlier post, I would tell you about the fortune I read out of a Chinese fortune cookie.  This happened  back in late October when I was in the process of building my food website http://www.anngagno.com.  When you are working full-time as a chemist and moonlighting at night as a photographer, you […]

After all this time in Toronto, I never have embraced the holiday of Thanksgiving.  I have always found another thing to do, another place to visit, so much so that I never really stopped and consider experiencing it.  This year however, I have a visiting cousin from Manila who would be arriving Thanksgiving weekend.  He […]
