You know all that whining I’ve been doing over having left all of our kitchen electronics behind and not having means to blend or puree anything? I’m mostly done. A little while ago I took the commuter train out to the boonies to hang with my friend Erin who was at home chilling out waiting for [...]

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. Now I live in a part of the world that [...]

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 [...]

Tom Yam soup. I’ve always seen this soup referred to as Tom Yum, but our instructor and recipe booklet both call it Tom Yam, so that’s what I’m going with. If you find yourself in Chiang Mai and are looking for a great cooking class, let me suggest May Kaidee’s Thai vegetarian cooking class. The [...]

You know you’re living way up north when at the tail end of November the sun starts setting in the 2′s. You know you’re a food blogger living way up north when, after a stretch of grey and dreary days, sunlight suddenly floods your kitchen and you drop everything to take pictures of soup. The [...]

This post was supposed to be up a week ago, but somehow life happened and the post didn’t. One day I’ll learn to schedule posts. Last weekend we popped over from Stockholm to Amsterdam where we had a few days of glorious weather and Paul went for a wee (26 mile) run. He had a great [...]

Hello July! Summer is certainly upon us, regardless of what the wildly fluctuating Stockholm weather may be doing. We’ve had some smoking hot days followed by some cool and rainy days. On the nice days we’ve been packing up some drinks and heading about four blocks north of our apartment to a spot we refer [...]

If you’ve been hanging around here for a while, you’ve probably heard me rave about how much I love Vij’s Indian restaurant in Vancouver. One of my favourite dining experiences of all time was a few years back when my sister, Emily, and her soon-to-be husband, Andy, were visiting Vancouver and decided to take the entire [...]

May has always been a month that has brought change to my life. Twelve years ago this May, a 20 year old me dropped out of a creative writing program at the University of Victoria, crammed some essentials into a suitcase, and left Canada alone for the first time, flying to New Zealand to work [...]
