How important is breakfast to you? What do you normally have? Do you sit down with a great big bowl of cereal and milk to start your day? What about some toast with peanut butter? Or maybe even toast with avocado? Sounds like pretty standard breakfast fare to me… boring even… After trying Momofuku’s Cereal [...]

Posted in Cook, Dare, tagged cannoli, daring bakers challenge on November 26, 2009 | 37 Comments »
There are many great quotes referring to the delicious cannoli. The two below are my favourites. “Leave the gun, take the cannoli”… Clemenza from The Godfather. “I’ve never had cannoli before. But if they are supposed to taste this good, I should have had them much sooner.” – My husband’s exact words when he tried [...]

Have you ever been pleasantly surprised by a wrong first impression? Well, when I met my husband there was no instant attraction, no sparks. Even worse – just really a total lack of interest (at least on my part). I thought he was nice but just not my type. If you told me that we [...]

When I graduated University, I was asked to speak before my class about my experiences during my four or so years. I still remember the message I wanted to convey. I wanted them to know this: Most of the lessons that we learned at university we would probably forget after a few years but the [...]

Surprise! Happy Holidays! Do you like it? The macarons? The Christmassy look? My husband and I are terrible at doing Christmas decorations. In our years together we put up the Christmas tree one year and the next day our dogs had decided that it would be fun to eat the Christmas balls hanging from the [...]
