It sucks to be stuck at home over a long weekend! We had everything ready for a Las Vegas getaway, when I got sick with a really bad cold. Vegas is the wrong place to be with a cold, unless you are on a mission to spread the virus to the world. So we postponed [...]
For a couple of months, we were stuck in a cooking rut induced by job demands, bad health and just pure laziness. We rarely cooked at home and even when we did, it was usually something boring. Luckily there were some events to keep this blog alive and somewhat interesting, but when I browse through [...]

A few containers of week old take-out food, bits and pieces of wilted veggies, yogurt-eggs-butter-cheese-etc with [...]
The grilling saga continues! This time it’s Sardines! Yes, I finally found fresh sardines here at Uwajimaya!
