Oh hey, we’ve got some snowy happiness in Toronto! Rooster, my #1 weekend coffee spot! I have been enjoying cold-weather walks around Riverdale, High Park, and the ravines near where we live. Thinking of heading to Ward’s Island next weekend, perhaps avec mes patins! *** I made some very gingery ginger snaps for a friend […]

I find it important to go on long, solitary walks once in a while. Ashbridge’s Bay all the way! It’s incredibly peaceful there in the “off season”. Just me, a couple of familiies, and some solo dog-walkers. Oh the quiet landscape! I also walked through Kew Gardens which is always pleasant. And found a TINY […]
Heh heh, can you tell I ache for spring and outdoor gallivanting? Unfortunately, a solo winter walk to the beach will have to suffice for now. The western waterfront is one of my favourite places in the city. I can’t wait for long bike rides out here soon! An appropriate book for the season (it’s […]
Saturday afternoons often bring upon the baking itch. I opted for that old standby, banana bread with nuts and chocolate chips…this is a difficult one to mess up. See Joy of Baking for recipe (I followed it exactly, except for reducing the amount of sugar to 1/2 cup and adding 1/2 cup semisweet choc chips along with […]
My chocolate consumption is getting out of hand… First chocolate oatmeal, then spontaneous batches of chocolate-peanut-butter cookies!

It’s a snowy world again! [Playing around with my phone camera’s colour modes…Instagram it ain’t but I do what I can] I like going for walks in the snow what I have a cold [coupled with drinking mug upon mug of tea, of course]. Seems counter-intuitive, but it always makes my head, throat, and stuffy […]
I was in Toronto for a few days for interviews and enjoyed some good meals and excursions into the wintry city! Breakfast: fried egg with arugula and avocado on half a bagel, with pear on the side. I also cracked open my Wanda’s Pie in the Sky cookbook to make these “gorilla” cookies: Basically a […]
