New at Timmy’s
I was prepared to dislike the new Beef Lasagna Casserole at Tim Horton's. First of all, have you seen that commercial? The guy moaning about his mom while eating his lunch...yuck.Second, Beef Lasagna was one of my favourite meals growing up, so there's a significant nostalgia factor which makes me … [Read more...]
Keep Your Mittens on Your Kittens
Brrrrrr...the expected high for today is 0 degrees with the windchill. That means that this morning as we ran around the house (after a long weekend the morning rush is particularly frantic), kids started asking for winter jackets, hats and mittens.
