There are many things in life that I can do, but I really shouldn't. I can eat a stick of butter, but I shouldn't. I can hold my hand over a burning hot stove element, but I shouldn't. I can avoid doing laundry for a month, but I shouldn't. And as I stood over a...

Knock knock. Who's there? Banana. Banana who? Knock knock. Who's there? Banana. Banana who? Knock knock Who's there? Orange. Orange who? Orange Cake with Chocolate Spiced Rum Ganache, that's who.

I don't think anyone can argue how comforting the smell of fresh baked food is. Baking apple pie is one of my favourite smells. The way the apples combine with the cinnamon and pastry is intoxicating. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it. It reminds me of my mother's bread maker. She would...

You know that ridiculous grapefruit diet that people used to go on? The one where they would eat exclusively grapefruit and nothing else then expect to lose weight. I would do that. I so would. I.

Something about not wanting to play hide-and-go-seek. I think that was my seventh birthday and to this day I still don't...

It's back to school time. Summer break seems to have gone by so quickly. Being a lady of leisure, I spent this Summer with Lee's daughter, Sable. There was a lot of Mario Kart, cookies, and Mr. Noodle. Oh and high fives, Pictureka and peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Living in close quarters with a...
