So I’ve started tweeting… those of you who are on my friends list on Facebook probably see how often I update my status (like, every hour?) and so hopefully I can move myself away from constant FB updates and move onto the world of miniblogging. I don’t have many people to follow, so if you’re [...]

Since Ash is a vegetarian and I don’t want him eating all of the soy crap – fake meat – that I do, I’ve had to look at alternatives for him to get his protein. Quinoa and brown rice instead of white sticky rice in his favorite meal of all time- sushi, chick peas, kidney [...]

One night I’d be eating spaghetti with “meatless meat balls” (I’m still not sure what they were made of, but I think they had walnuts in them), and the next [...]

One of the best things about being back in Canada are the cheap groceries. A pint of blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries or a quart of strawberries were $10.00 each in the BVI, and here they’re $1-3.00. Last night I bought the ingredients to make Blueberry Grunt. It’s a East Coast of Canada kind of recipe, [...]
