The ingredients weren’t used in the same round, mind you, but they were all mandatory ingredients for episode 22. I think the combinations from last night’s show were the most interesting (read: gross) to date, and it’s a good thing. It’s Chopped Canada, after all. Tahini is a kind of sesame paste/sauce/dip The episode had […]
I’ve lived within walking distance from By the Way Café for a decade, but have never tried the restaurant. This Mediterranean-influenced eatery serves a delicious brunch on the weekends, offering items that might not be seen in many other restaurants in the city. The restaurant is not large, though with a patio, the number of […]
Yes, along with the kohlrabi, “canned pressed ham” is excatly what you think it is, without the brand name. They had to use it. In the first round. I bet everyone was grossed out. The other ingredients for that round were quince past and white wine. Out of the four contestants, I’d say that the […]
A Facebook post from a friend has inspired me to create a small list of books from high school English class I want to re-read. I have already completed the first of five on a shortlist that includes a couple of books which I wished I read in school, but was never on the curriculum. […]
The Banana Republic x Marimekko collection lands in stores and online tomorrow (May 22, 2014). The collection is perfect for summer with its bright prints and colours.

It’s not directly inspired by any specific tofu recipe (though it’s based on the maple dijon chicken I made in late 2013) I’ve seen online, just something I […]
I think out of the 20 shows so far, combinations last night were one of the tamest. In addition to the yeast extract, contestants were required to use mussels, instant coffee and portobello mushrooms for the appetizer round. The dishes weren’t all that innovative. All four of them went a traditional route and steamed the […]
I was going through my closet the other day, clearing out stuff that I hadn’t worn in a while, and putting them aside, either to donate or sell (I’ve had trouble selling items online, probably due to my size. Now my Trend Trunk closet is mostly bags, since bags know no size). I noticed that […]
Specialty sizing is often drab, basic and/or grandmotherly. Unless, of course, you want to spend over $500 on brands like Marina Rinaldi. However, you don’t have to worry about that at Primaala (the name comes from the words prime and maala, which means “to rise up” in Hebrew), a new boutique in the Dundas west […]
