The day after the Engagement Party I cajoled my mother to visit Niagara Falls. She’s never been there, but it was a pretty hard sell, since we were exhausted from the night before. Regardless, I thought it was a worthwhile visit for someone from out of town and JC was...

So, I’m just going to brag. I had a really fantastic Valentine’s Day this year, and JC made it happen. I’ve always been a fan of the pink and red holiday. Even while most of my social group was decrying the horrors of commercialism, and the absurd expectations that are...

On Sunday Morning we woke up too early and started our day as early as possible. I had wanted to catch Vegan Brunch, but it just wasn’t possible. So instead we found Avalon Bakery on the interwebs, and drove over. It was totally full of people, but the service was...

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...

JC and I went to Hogtown Vegan for dinner on Tuesday. Now I feel as though I have to take everything negative I’ve ever said about them back. But no, my thoughts were valid at the time, but the improvements are substantial from the last time I was there. Our...

I’ve never been to New York City in December, but I’ve been told it’s the time to visit. I’m being whisked away from rainy Toronto, to the arty vegan food haven in the south (which is hopefully less rainy than it is here at the moment.) As with most trips, I feel...

Note: I wrote this yesterday (friday), and didn’t post it before falling asleep. oops. Yom Kippur begins tonight (friday) at sundown, so I’m preparing a little meal for tonight of rutabaga carrot ginger soup and kreplach. I didn’t have a plan for today, mostly because I hadn’t known there was...
