I realized looking back that I’ve never talked about the amazingness that is Hamilton’s Bring Me Some. Well, it’s time to change that. Bring Me Some started out in the Hamilton’s Farmer’s Market and then they opened their own location at 638 Concession Street, in Hamilton’s Eastmount neighbourhood last year...

One of the things we’ve been doing over the last few months since moving to Northumberland is finding some of the vegan friendly spots in the area. Recently we grabbed dinner from Bualai Taste of Thai in Port Hope, and enjoyed it quite a bit. It’s sort of funny how...

I’ve been sampling a variety of vegan burgers the past little while, and most of them have been pretty decent. They’re often met with ambivalence (from me and others) after decades of lack lustre veggie burgers or non-vegan places phoning it in with a wilted mushroom cap or something. But...

This was my first time attending Chicon, and the Hugo Awards, virtually of course, but what a treat it was. I’ve read so many of the nominees this year, perhaps next year I will vote, but voting seems impossible since I love so many of the books – in my...

After a very long drive into Detroit, we made it in at around 5pm yesterday. Of course, we stopped in London to eat and buy a GPS to avoid getting lost. Before yesterday I hadn’t ever been to London (Ontario that is), but since we were going to need a...

This Thursday was one of my favourite Thursdays in a while because it also happened to be Date Night. Which also sounds silly, because JC and I do things on days other than date night, but set aside (usually Tuesday) to plan on doing something together. Since this week’s Tuesday...

I feel like I’m in the minority of my friends that actively enjoy and watch the Superbowl every year. This year was no different. Amongst dozens of Facebook posts and hundreds of tweets with anti-football sentiment. Well, I’ll just come out and say it – we watched it, and enjoyed...

I went to check out the Conscious Food Festival this weekend. I didn’t go last year, but the reviews generally complained of a lack of non alcoholic options and minimal vegan options. This year, it seemed to have something for everyone (alcohovore, herbivore, omnivore, or whatever.) There were options from...
