Last week I felt like I could use a midday pick-me-up so I ordered lunch from Tiffinday again. I’ve covered their background a little and there is more information about Tiffinday here. So I come from the point of view of someone that is already a fan. I’ve been known...

I have ordered from the lovemuffin bakery twice so far. I’m going to say something, and know that I’m very serious when I do. I am over cupcakes. If I never see another cupcake again, I would be okay with that. Muffins are the new cupcake. I felt the same joy...

Stuff from Community Naturals (food bars, dried fruit, and wasabi peas which I’m snacking on right now), Congo Cowboy Gourmet – mango barbecue sauce, a couple of food bars from Via Foods… and the thing that probably made me smile the most…...

I’ve been playing around with learning python for nearly a year. I’ll admit, I haven’t put much effort into it, and tended to find other things to fill the time available to practice and learn. Part of it is because I have a programming background, from my university days. Which...

I’m going to take a break from reminiscing about the very awesome lovely Boston trip we had and all the fabulous things we ate, to talk about something that I keep getting asked about all the time… When is the wedding? Do you have a date yet? How’s the wedding...
