When I popped into my parent's house yesterday to pick up The Boy after his sleepover, my dad was sitting at the table chatting with some documentary filmmakers who were there to do some work with him. "And there's my daughter!" he announced cheerfully. "She has a blog!" They … [Read more...]
Oh! The Butternut-ity! And a Dash of Operatic Inspiration…
I made butternut squash soup for dinner tonight. YUMM-MEE! See? I made that! From scratch! With NOOOO recipe! And it was delish, if I do say so myself.

What I … [Read more...]
A celebration
Saturday was Eid, the festive celebration that marks the end of Ramadan. Unlike the days of Ramadan, during which one is encouraged to turn inward and focus on self-discipline and spirituality, Eid is about indulgence - food, fun and of course, presents. We started the day off at the Rogers Centre … [Read more...]
A busy weekend
I did a lot of baking this weekend - I made cinnamon-carrot quinoa flake bars for The Baby (and they were quite good and covered in a thick caramel icing. But I just invented them and I didn't write down the recipe, sadly.), I made a baked tangerine pudding cake (again, my own recipe! and I even … [Read more...]
