Hawaii Trip – Poke

Just realised that most of the photos I’ve been uploading have been regular size (eg. 2-3 MB) instead of being properly re-sized for the web.  Apologies to anyone who’s still on dial-up (uhm, is there anyone still on dial-up?)

The Best Non-Fiction Book I Read This Year…

…was quite possibly a fiction book!

The 50 Best Tasting Foods in the World

CNN conducted an unscientific worldwide poll and after getting 35 000 responses, created a list of the 50 best tasting foods in the world. Canada hits the list at 46 with maple syrup but that’s our only contribution.  Surprisingly (?) the two top ranked dishes are both Indonesian (did Indonesians scam the poll?), neither of […]

Sappy Sunday – The Last Meals Project

The United States is one of the few countries left in the world which embraces capital punishment (look at who else is on that list – no one else in the first world and otherwise a great bunch of company, eh?). A big part of the lore around death row inmates (perhaps straddling the line […]

Bacon Party!

As opposed to a “sausage party“, a bacon party would be something I would be very excited to attend! 😉 In fact, if queried, I would likely say that bacon is one of my favourite foods – definitely top five anyhow.  (Shea and I have been known to cook up four pounds of bacon at […]
