While some were escaping a falling stage at Ottawa Bluesfest, this past weekend I attended the Stewart Park Festival – a three-day musical treat in the charming town of Perth, Ontario.

During the really busy time that is exams, all I want to do is cook and bake. I can hardly handle the temptation of getting up and baking muffins, making soup, or even just home-made pop-corn. Well, you caught me. It’s true, I can’t handle it. I think I’ve made all of those in the [...]

The snow is finally all gone in Halifax. I saw crocuses in bloom today, a sure sign spring is coming. There is nothing like pesto and asparagus to mark one’s excitement for spring! (I confess that unlike Sitelle, I have given into the gorgeous looking and tasting asparagus from Mexico). Pesto pasta is one of [...]

When I was home visiting my parents, my aunt, uncle, and cousins from NYC spoiled us and came up to visit. We spent lovely days downhill skiing, but as with any Ford reunion, eating good food was a given. Clearly then, chocolate zucchini cake was scheduled on the menu, a cake loved by all members [...]
