One of the things about knowing your way around a kitchen, is that everyone wants to bend your ear about food. "I'm making this recipe, it calls for A but I only have B. Can I use it?" "I bought this roast on sale at the butcher but have never made it before. Help!" "I'm having company and … [Read more...]

Chemical Soup
Reading Jen's post about eating more organic and fresh foods, has inspired me to write about the chemical soup that our bodies have become. If you really think about it, what goes into many Canadian and American bodies is plain scary. Just watch The Meatrix, Food Inc., or Jamie Oliver's … [Read more...]
The Good, The Bad, and the Emmys.
That Emmy sure was at the top of her game on Sunday night. Not since the days that Billy Crystal did the opening number at the Oscars have I enjoyed an awards opening. I mean, COME ON.

Six weeks ago I started a Learn to Run clinic at The Running Room. I really didn't want to. But: I was going with a friend, so I stuck it out, even when every fibre of my being cried out, "why? Why are you doing this to me?" The first week was NOT fun but, as I told myself when it was over, I was … [Read more...]
Off My Rocker
When I first visited England a few years ago, I saw these really weird shoes in a trendy shoe store. Supposedly, they helped shape up your leg muscles and improved posture. And they kind of reminded me of that fabulous 1970s trend, the Earth Shoe: I can clearly remember seeing that ad in … [Read more...]
