My balcony garden has been a fun experiment filled with ups and downs. Some things flourished and others not so much. Then throw in factors like crazy windstorms and you have a whole new set of challenges.
Let’s start with the good….
Having herbs at the ready is one of the […]
Does anyone else feel like summer is rapidly slipping away? In the morning there’s a bit of a chill in the air. The days are becoming shorter. The nights are chilly… folks, fall is around the corner. And while I love fall, I’m not quite ready to give up frolicking in […]
The balcony garden (for the most part) continues to flourish!
I have strawberries! Granted, not enough to do anything with but snack, but still, strawberries! The first one that I ate was on the watery side but subsequent berries have been really sweet and pretty divine.

Here is the conclusion of what I ate in London. Check out Part 1 here!
And on a side note, pretty much the whole trip I had this one line from Wyclef’s “Where My Fugees At?” stuck in my head. The lyric: Some MCs in the underground, mad at me […]
I recently was fortunate enough to spend five days in London (England, not Ontario). I visited London about 7 or 8 years ago while studying abroad in France but seeing as I was in broke student mode I didn’t get a chance to do London to its fullest.

Alas! The Charcutepalooza challenge I’ve been waiting for: Sausage-making.
When I first set out to do Charcutepalooza one of the things I was most looking forward to doing was making sausage. Making sausage just seemed so… hardcore. I mean you need a grinder, a sausage stuffer, all kinds of meat […]
It’s not often that I write about things other than food. Sure, I’ll occasionally write about my travels but usually from the lens of food, but that’s usually about it. With the ending of the Oprah Winfrey Show I felt the need to blog about it so of course I found […]
A few months ago I bought the Food Grinder attachment for my KitchenAid Stand Mixer. Ever since I bought it, the grinder has been sitting in its box tucked away into the corner. I bought it because I have visions of making my own sausages. Since we haven’t reached that […]
The other day I got this wacky idea about making my own mustard. I’m not sure what it is these days but I’ve increasingly been having the urge to make more things that I can buy at the supermarket. I mean really, do I need to make my own mustard? Not […]
