Saturday was our 26th wedding anniversary; what’s even scarier is the other number, the number of years together! I won’t even bother to say it, you wouldn’t believe me anyway! I’m really not that old, really. No really!!!! This past weekend was also very special because it was Canada’s first ‘summer’ long weekend: the May [...]

Valentine’s Vegetarian Extravaganza Dinner Menu
Posted in Menus, Vegetarian on February 11, 2012 | 28 Comments »
As I’ve previously mentioned, our friends Rae and Monica are coming over for a Valentine’s themed dinner. Rae recently became a vegetarian so in order to save myself some time, I am planning to serve only vegetarian food for everyone (he eats seafood); plus it will not alienate him from the rest of the dinner [...]

Posted in Menus, tagged 2012, comfort food, Menu, New England Patriots, New York Giants, Super Bowl on February 4, 2012 | 36 Comments »
Hi there, I’ve updated with a couple of new photos, hope you don’t mind. Well, tomorrow is Super Bowl Sunday. This meant nothing to me in the past other than an annoyance because 60 minutes was cancelled; we would go on about our usual weekend, JT would watch a little bit of the game here [...]
Thanksgiving at my Brother’s Cottage
Posted in Menus, Weather, tagged Unseasonably warm temperatures on October 9, 2011 | 16 Comments »
It’s Thanksgiving in Canada, and we made our yearly treck to my brother’s cottage. It should only be a little over a two hour drive, but as the years move on it’s gotten worse and worse. Over three hours! We stopped to a world famous burger joint on Hwy 11, called Webers. I’ve never been. [...]
Dinner with Pete and Karen
Posted in Menus on August 15, 2011 | 13 Comments »
Pete is an old friend from way, way back; JT has worked with him over the years (that’s how we got to know him). We’ve gotten together sporadically over the years. Pete recently got engaged! And then he had a heart attack. It just got us thinking how precious and short life is. We had [...]
The Marlatt Weekend in Bloor West Village
Posted in Breakfast/Brunch, Menus, Recipes, tagged Bloor West Village, Ribs, Summer Menu, Summerlicious on July 20, 2011 | 10 Comments »
It’s my birthday on Friday and JT bought tickets to see Steely Dan at Ontario Place’s Amphitheater. I am very much looking forward to it. My pre-birthday dinner is Thursday night at Bar Mercurio – my new Italian favourite! We’ll probably go to La Societé for the actual birthday dinner (yes, I like to stretch [...]
Back on the wagon!
Posted in Main Courses, Menus, Salad on June 1, 2011 | 2 Comments »
I’ve decided to get myself back on track after having fallen off track since December. I’m doing a very strict Dr. monitored diet for the next three weeks. I hope to drop 15lbs but expect 10lbs. The diet is challenging not because I normally eat poorly or over indulge; it’s challenging because I can’t have [...]

My best friend and her hubby were to come down to the big smoke for our holiday brunch today, but sadly the weather in god’s country prevented this from happening. So JT and I enjoyed an elaborate Mexican brunch all to ourselves. The menu: Whole wheat pesto pin wheels (gluten light) Southwestern corn chowder Heuvos [...]
Another Tapas Dinner Party
Posted in Menus on December 5, 2010 | 2 Comments »
We haven’t done a tapas dinner in quite some time, so we thought we’d pull out all the stops for my FBBFFE and hubby Roland. Here is the menu: Bacon Wrapped Dates (an old favourite; we’ll have these in the kitchen at the island). We’ll move the living room and enjoy the other courses by [...]
