This is a quickie. A quick post about a quick meal. This egg quesadilla is something that I make very often. I make it for a quick lunch. I make it for an easy dinner alongside a simple salad. I make it for a late morning weekend breakfast when I’m feeling the need for something [...]

Some time ago ago I picked up a cold beer in a frosty mug on my kitchen counter and took a big gulp and immediately thought, oh man, this isn’t my beer. Except it was. Only Paul had accidentally bought a smoked beer instead of the pale ale I normally buy. My next thought, mere [...]

I grew up in a part of the world that doesn’t really get real winters. Don’t get me wrong, Vancouver winters are nasty in that can’t-get-warm-cause-you’re-always-soaking-wet kind of way, and I do not miss the rain even a little bit, but relatively speaking, they’re mild.

One of the things I learned about myself while traveling through Thailand is that I am a lot more squeamish than I thought I was. We planned our trip quite a while in advance so I had a good number of months to contemplate my food attitude on this trip. I knew full well that [...]

When I woke up this morning it was -20 C. We always sleep with our bedroom window open a crack – it was freezing in our room! I dragged myself out from under the warmth of our duvet and went directly to the kitchen. Together we hammered out our packed lunches for the week; Paul [...]

It was all well and good to spend some time in the city and have cultural experiences and whatnot, but frankly, we were ready to get back to the beach. We flew from Chiang Mai down to Koh Samui and settled in for a week of doing not all that much. I’ll admit I was [...]
