It’s Monday friends! Are you going to do big things this week? My to-do list is daunting, but I’m excited about getting back down to business this week! And how better to get lots of things done than fuel. And by fuel, I mean food. A thing that I used to do when I had

Remember item 14 on my 30-before-30 list? “To Cook Something That Takes More Than One Day”? Well folks, I’ve scratched it off the list (a couple of times, if you include my home-made bread from last-last week). Months and months ago I came across Matt Bites’ post about Sriracha Pulled Pork from the Sriracha cookbook.
Please excuse the terrible pun. Given my new home decorating bent, I’ve been reading a lot of Young House Love and the cheesy title puns are rubbing off on my like crazy! So. Bread. I’ve tackled bread a couple of times before: this delicious beer bread that I mistakenly thought used the yeast in the
Ok. I admit it. I’m addicted to my daily breakfast of oats. In Buenos Aires, it was rolled oats (including these amazing peaches and cream oats) but now that we’re back we’ve moved on to delicious steel-cut oats. Though steel cut oats take longer to cook (about 20 minutes), their nutty, chewy, filling-ness more than
Rejection sucks. A lot. One minute you are going full speed ahead thinking “Holy crap. I’m going to win this!” And the next minute: wham. “Sorry. You didn’t make the cut.” When I learned I had not made it to the next round in Tourism Richmond’s 365 Days of Dining contest, the emotion came in
Big day today folks: my very first Richmond restaurant review! If you get your last vote in for me today (before 4pm P.S.T) you may guarantee me a spot in the next round. Then, when I win, I’ll take you for a fun lunch, dinner or dim sum on Tourism Richmond! Last week was a
First of all, I want to thank every single person that I know for being so patient with me (and for all your voting). Facebook contests (especially of the daily voting variety) are awesome for brands, but not so awesome for the contestants or the friends and family and networks of the contestants. For 7
Yesterday was a very exciting day for me! Not only was it day one in the voting competition for the Richmond 365 Days of Dining competition (vote for me!) but, I finally met my lovely blogger friend Melissa of West Coast Nest, after almost a year of being super close on the internet. It actually
Yesterday evening I stopped by Make It! Vancouver for some shopping and snacking. If you haven’t heard of Make It!, well, it’s not your grandma’s craft show. The vibe at the show is funky, hip and modern very different from you traditional granny craft show!(not that there is anything wrong with that) Music is performed
When we learned that our friend Jenn was coming to visit for our last 10 days in BA, we decided a perfect way to celebrate would be by taking her to a closed door restaurant! Jenn’s very into food, so what better experience than this uniquely Buenos Aires phenomenon. One closed door that kept popping
I wrote briefly about Nucha in my 14 Days 14 Cafes post, and there is just something about it that keeps drawing me back. I don’t know if it is the light (it’s super bright in there), the beautiful high ceilings, the turquoise accents, the mid-century modern style pieces, or the mouth-wateringly delicious looking display
After our awesome experience at Casa Mun, we were keen to try even more closed door restaurants. We had heard lots of great (not just good) things about Cocina Sunae so decided to celebrate our 8-year date-iversary there. Cocina Sunae Unlike some other closed door restaurants, Sunae (a New York transplant) and her Argentine husband
Last Saturday we spent the day in Tigre, which was amazing. I shot b&w film in Tigre, so you are going to have to wait for the images, but once they’re developed I will certainly share more! By the time we got back to our apartment late Saturday evening, we were worn out. Shells of
In my quest to become the Richmond food blogger, I’ve become so busy thinking about restaurant reviews that I haven’t posted a recipe post in… well… a long time. And while it is true that eating at this many restaurants means I’m not cooking as much, I’m still cooking a lot, and becoming ever more
On Friday, we decided to take our friend Ian to the ecological reserve in Puerto Madero. Buenos Aires is a city of contrasts and the ecological reserve in Puerto Madero is striking example of these. If you are familiar with Yaletown, Puerto Madero is like Yaletown. If not – imagine modern, glassy, shiny, buildings. But,
