First this happened: I'm at the Farmer's market and purchase some garlic scapes and fresh peas. Not because I needed them but because they just looked so pretty. Garlic scapes are the green stalks of garlic plants. The next day this happened: Husband calls me while I'm finishing my run. "What … [Read more...]
Sushi Loku
It is extremely decent of a place to give you the deep-fried shrimp heads when you order yourself some amaebi - a very El Bullian turn for a take-out meal, and I was delighted. So it was with Sushi Loku, a new sushi place that took over last month when Seb's left the neighbourhood. For a … [Read more...]
WOWing Them At The BBQ
It's mid-July and summer BBQs are a plenty. But are you like me? Are you kinda getting a little tired of the iron steak on the BBQ with the same old, same old spices? Or throwing on burgers? Threading a few kebabs? Brush the olive oil on the veggies? Sides of potato salad and cole slaw? White Burger … [Read more...]

Family Travel: Food Stresses
We're thankful that our kids enjoy food as much as we do. I call them foodie kids as they are some of the most daring eaters for their age groups. Seriously.

We don't get summer for too long so we take what we can get. I entered the hotel lobby and spotted a familiar face. I give … [Read more...]

What’s Fresh at the Farmer’s Market: Strawberries
Immediately after reading this post, run (don't walk) to the nearest possible place you can buy locally-grown strawberries. Thanks to this year's long and wet spring, this year's strawberries are bigger and juicier than I remember them being in a long time. And thanks to this year's long and wet … [Read more...]
Date night: Eat all the things
Last night we had planned to go to a movie; by planned, of course, I mean we reserved the date and asked my parents to babysit, thinking we'd go to a movie close to where they live and then pick the toddler up on the way home. Of course, it could not be that simple - no (good) movies were showing … [Read more...]
