May 13, 2013

One good friend I studied photography at Ryerson was Guinevere Pura.  I always was impressed with her eclectic taste in photography and we got together to see some galleries participating this year’s CONTACT Photography Festival. We intended to see a gallery at Church and College.  Unfortunately they closed early.  Knowing Ryerson have its own exhibition, […]

One of my very good friends for many years now was Helen Ebron.  We were former colleagues at GlaxoSmithKline and we haven’t really dropped the friendship just because I have decided to lead another career.  We have regularly kept in touch, meeting every now and then to catch up with each other.  This week, she […]

After an afternoon of basking on local art at Queen St. West Art Crawl at Trinity Bellwoods Park,  it should could get a foodie like me thirsty and hungry.  My friend Valerie and I started somewhat early and after over 2 hours of perusing through a sea of paintings, photography, pottery intricate jewelry and such,  […]

Coming home to Toronto

Walking the streets of Barcelona on the last day of my vacation has always been a tug of war of melancholy and enthusiasm.  I have always been attached to Barcelona and it felt like home.  It has always been there to inspire and get me at my most creative. When I come back to Toronto, […]

After finishing a long day, my friend Abraham Wornovitzky and I popped by Arepa Cafe.  He once talked about this place telling me how satisfying it was to sink one’s teeth into a grilled handcrafted corn meal bread that is so full of stuffing.  I have never tasted Venezuelan cuisine before so curiosity got the […]

What do you do when you have an hour to kill around the Spadina/Bloor area?  Look for good food of course!  The food I was in the mood to try today was Asian fusion themed restaurant Banh Mi Boys.  This restaurant has been long in my radar as I keep on seeing it trending in […]

Poutini’s – Permanently closed

If there is one thing that is so true about me, it’s my love for french fries.  See me hugging a BIG potato with an equally BIG smile on my face?  I specifically put PEI’s Potato Museum on my itinerary on my Maritimes junket sometime ago because of my love of tubers.  So it is […]

Maybe it’s my curiosity why the competitors on Top Chef Canada got so worried about trying their flare on Ethiopian cuisine that I said yes without much of a thought when a client, Steve,  suggested it last week after a shoot.  I have no faint idea whether the food would be bland, spicy, heavy or […]
