The Grate Canadian Cheese Cook-off to make the PERFECT mac and cheese was held at the Ex yesterday. Contestants, all well known professional chefs from various parts of the country (BC, Nova Scotia, Alberta and Ontario, to be exact) were judged based on criteria such as taste, presentation and originality. Judges included food writers, foodies, […]
SWP. Shopping While Petite. It’s often a problem. You. Just. Can’t. Find. Anything. Well, that’s not ENTIRELY true – it’s just that you feel awful because everything is too long and at times, it doesn’t look like you can alter the outfits after purchase (or it will cost a fortune). And, it’s hard to find […]
UPDATE AS OF AUGUST 26: DEAL IS WORTH $11 B US, BK HQ TO MOVE TO CANADA. It’s pretty much official – Ottawa just has to approve this. Last night, I received an alert from both my Bloomberg and Wall Street Journal apps notifying me that Burger King was in talks to buy donut chain […]
Recently, Style Democracy posted an article on the skinny and how many women have mixed feelings about them (Refinery 29 has even gone as far as announcing its death). I personally LOVE them (along with other forms of skinny pants), especially for winter. Living in a city that gets snow, I really hate it when […]
Ahhh….Israeli and other Middle Eastern-inspired cuisines. It’s definitely the latest “it” cuisine here in the city, and like most ethnic cuisines, it isn’t likely a passing fad. I feel that it’s definitely here to stay (because it’s just so good). In my opinion, once a culture’s food rises out of the mom-and-pop, “hole-in-the-wall” restaurants, you’re […]
I’ve been blogging under DelectablyChic! for nearly four years and blogging, period for even longer (we were previously known as Prospere Magazine, which made its debut in January 2008. I also ran Shorty Stories, which lasted from 2007 until last year. Prior to that, I had a LiveJournal). Lately, I’ve been thinking about my posting […]
It’s time to make a shopping wish list. It’s not for back-to-school, since I don’t have kids and am only taking one continuing education course online (I graduated from university more than 10 years ago), but for beauty products. It’s nearly fall, after all, and time to replenish some favourites and maybe even […]
On Tuesday, InStyle for Nine West held a fall launch event in Toronto’s tony Yorkville area. Going into the party, I knew that it was unlikely going to find anything that fit – that’s the issue I have with shoe shopping – I have a very small foot (size 4 1/2 or 5, usually), which […]
I can’t believe it took me over one year to have a proper meal at Osteria dei Ganzi, a restaurant on Jarvis Street, near the National Ballet School. The last time I went there was for its media launch in June of 2013, where we had the chance to taste several of their offerings, including […]
Adela Mei, run by Stacy Leung and Sasha Moyer, is a California-based, online boutique with a very special focus – petite women under 5’4″. While their pieces are, for the most part, NOT petite-exclusive (as in the clothes are not petite sized), the aim for Adela Mei is to be a one stop (or rather, […]
