Every now and again bacheloritis sets in and rather than try to fight it sometimes it’s best to run with it. Like the old saying goes, “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.” For this dinner I decided to go with the culinary equivalent of leaving the toilet seat up — a plain steak. No [...]

One Man’s Garbage
As the saying goes “one man’s garbage is another man’s gold.” In this case I wonder how many hours and dollars it took the former owner of this plus-sized carnival stuffed animal to appropriate it from the clutches of the carnies that run the games of supposed skill.

Street Trash: Broken Tube TV
I always seem to encounter interesting street trash. This almost artistically destroyed CRT TV was face first into the curb somewhere in the South Main area of Vancouver. Do you think this is an elaborate social commentary on disposable culture or just plain laziness turned into street prank?

This H1N1 info graphic at my former university SFU is a prime example of how we communicate with each other these days. In this case sneezing into the crook of your arm is supposed to limit the spread of the disease — unless of course you rub your inner elbow onto people as you converse [...]

Canned Semillon Peaches
Joy Road Catering Semillon Peaches. If you have a chance to get your hands on these at the Penticton Farmer’s Market do it! Nothing like a little wine and with your fruit and maybe a little ice cream too.
Holy Crêpe
The start of the Farmers Market in Penticton is always exciting as it marks the beginning of the good eating season. After a winter of eating pale flavourless vegetables we can go back to the glory of eating from the garden. Waking up and going straight to Carol’s crêpe cart for breakfast is also quickly [...]
Corn Flake Efficiency
If you’ve read my blog before you’ll know that I love a well designed product. That is not exclusive only to gadgets and home furnishings, but also to food.
