It’s a little late but, Happy Thanksgiving to all my American readers! Seeing as we had our Thanksgiving almost a full month ago, and I already shared my recipe for Pumpkin Chiffon Pie (the ultimate Thanksgiving dessert!) I thought I would instead, share some photos from a Thanksgiving a few years ago. Before my sister […]
Fall. Autumn. Time for leaves to be thrown, jumped in, raked and pressed between the pages of an overly heavy book. Time to relax and let it all go. Accept that winter is on it’s way and not spend too much time grumbling about the fact that it’s dark at 2pm. Okay, I’m exaggerating a

I’ve told you how I feel about Halloween before, it’s not my favourite holiday. But I have a confession to make about this particular Halloween.

Who is that shaggy creature? No, not the doggy, that’s Boomer. I mean that shaggy red headed creature…the big one. That’s my Dad, which of course means that’s me, and my sister. Aren’t we cute? Remember when I told you I was going to share a bit of my history. Well there it is. Here’s

If there is one advantage to living on an island, it has to be the endless supply of seafood harvested off our coastlines. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of pitfalls as well: Wind, rain, having to pay exorbitant fees to leave said island on a ferry, etc. But, being the optimist that I

I have a funny story from last week. Well, maybe not funny haha, but funny in it’s own little way… We were to be witnesses for some friend’s of ours as they signed the papers for buying a new house. There were no Realtors involved, so we would be the only one’s there besides the

If ever there was something I am known for amongst my friends and family, it is “The Big Salad”. We’re talkin’ huge here, people. Why? I like salad. I like the crispy lettuce and the freshness of the ingredients, the colours like a Mexican Carnival, the surprise of every bite being different. I just really
