So, it’s almost midnight and the post I’ve been eagerly working for the day on is not quite finished. So in lieu, I want to talk about how I actually cooked myself a (nice big) meal for dinner yesterday, which doesn’t happen very often. After getting back from New York...

Boy, I feel like I should have broken up my New York post into three parts or something. Phew. So, I’m living in Toronto now, it’s the biggest city in Canada, and all around a pretty swell location. First of all, Toronto has a well connected transit system (aka the...

So, I’m being ambitious here. I’d like to turn November into a month of fantasy travel. My worklife has limited my ability to run off and go wherever I want to, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t places I’d like to go… eventually. I’m going to save myself some time,...

Well, I’ve been slacking on my goal of getting a coffee from the TCC people on a daily basis, but I finally went to Sam James Espresso Bar (297 Harbord Street, get off at Christie Subway Station.) last week. I ordered a Soy Latte ($3.33) and it was yummy. Smooth...

Well, it’s that time of year again, it’s Thanksgiving (in Canada), and this time around, I’m all by myself. My family is back in Edmonton (celebrating with tofu steaks by the way) and work commitments made it difficult to leave town with friends. So while part of me thought, oh...

I finally went to King’s Cafe (192 Augusta Ave) today after multiple recommendations from other people. I was in the neighbourhood after grabbing a soy latte from Dark Horse Espresso Bar so it made sense to head over to Kensington Market to grab a bite to eat. I had sampled...
