Summer Wine
July 31st, 2011
Strawberries, cherries and an angel’s kiss in spring, My summer wine is really made from all these things… ~Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood, Summer Wine In the heat of summer, the two biggest things on my mind are how to make the most of the season, and how to stay fresh when the sun beats [...]
The Nassau Report: Marley Resort
July 30th, 2011
While in Nassau I had the pleasure of exploring the city with my hosts and good friends T & R, who had just moved there a few weeks prior to my arrival. Of the restaurants we dined at over the duration of my stay, only one was located in a resort. No, it wasn’t the [...]
A Handy Tip for the Easily Distracted
July 26th, 2011
Lately I’ve been feeling very scattered about – Google+ has been released, and although it’s supposed to be Google’s answer to/replacement for Facebook/Twitter/Linked-In, it feels like a different beast.

July 12th, 2011

July 10th, 2011
I’m back! (correction; I’ve been back for a little while, but it’s been a bit crazy around here and I hope you’ll pardon my silence) I have to admit that over the past month, I’ve barely done any real cooking. Summer’s hit us with a vengeance and in a place like Toronto, with such a [...]
