I have more than once talked about my favorite cousin, Dexter. He came back to Toronto once again this past week and we are having a whirlwind of food trips. This time around we expanded our horizons and started last weekend with a very long drive to Washington DC. Renting a van, my sister, her […]

Last Tuesday, I was invited to the media tasting of The Citizen. I almost did not make it as I had a long road trip to Washington DC the weekend before (That would be for another blog post). I was glad I found one more burst of energy to get there as the food was […]

I finally did it and gave me trusty old Macbook a partial retirement. She has been such a part of me for about 6 years and very much instrumental in building this blog. I tend to work most of the images in my iMac but the writing happens with my best friend as I can […]

One thing when you have too long of a winter is that you start daydreaming about warmer weather 24/7. I know I have to go through the coldest of it as I was the one who chose to be Canadian. To make best a gloomy situation, I try to inject colour in my day-to-day, opting […]

Wednesday was peculiar that I felt so hungry faster than norm. I usually eat the same things while I work and I could not understand why the sudden need for more food. Usually I pack an afternoon snack in the form of a sandwich for my drive home. But being hungry that day, I ate […]
