Some would argue, on reading the title of this post, that these two things are not, in fact, the Perfect Pair. Some might say that too much of a Good Thing is actually Bad, and would possibly even bring up the old adage that Opposites Attract. Read more…
You know how, when you live with someone, you end up having very specific formulas for takeout? Perhaps it’s just human nature to fall into patterns; when I lived with my best friend in Toronto, we had our takeout sushi routine down to a two-minute art. (One edamame, one California roll, one Spider roll, and one Bento Box A, please- oh, and we’ll send a boyfriend to come pick it up.) Read more…
I didn’t get this posted yesterday, as I was a bit short on time over the weekend. Clearly not a short on produce, though, because I bought the lovely bunch of veg above for meals this week. Read more…
Just dropping in to let you all know about my guest post at The Beat That My Heart Skipped, a new UK design blog by stylist Rohini Wahi.

Well, do you like my sodden collection of vegetables? Today was one of those horrible London days, a day when the rain doesn’t so much fall down as pound the pavement, people and anything else in its way with a violent insistence that nothing it meets shall remain dry.

It’ll be a short one; I took a good chunk of time off from blogging last month, to make way for my holiday back home to Canada. Still, I did manage to squeeze in some blogging in October- here’s what I got up to over the past four weeks. Read more…
