food, photography and my creative life
Not long ago I talked about how I was on a morning smoothie kick. Maybe saying “not long ago” isn’t quite right – it was actually back in September of 2015! It feels like it was yesterday. Well that year and a half whizzed by! I’m still on the morning smoothie kick. Although at this point it’s probably better to refer to it as a morning smoothie
A few week’s ago, I headed out to hang with my friends Donnie Vegas and Blondie. You may remember them from the Boston Wallbanger invention or the Pirate Treasure Chest Cake. We had so much fun that night that we’d been trying for a while to find another night to get together and create more cocktails – and this time it was an adaptation of the Polish
Sometimes, when I come across something out of the blue that piques my interest, I can become a little bit obsessive with it. Like the time I fell in love with West Side Story and listened to the soundtrack over and over and over again.

The sun disappears sooner every evening and while

Obviously, it’s the drink of choice when you sit down for a sushi lunch, sushi snack, sushi dinner… and if you live on Canada’s west coast you eat a lot of sushi.
The classic Canadian Caesar cocktail never goes out of style. It’s often compared to it’s American cousin, the Bloody Mary but, as any Canadian will tell you, the secret is in the clam juice! I remember the first time I tried to order a Caesar in the US. It resulted in a very blank look from the waitress – something I had never experienced when
We all have those friends… the ones we’ve known since childhood. We went to school with them, hung out in each others family rooms, their parents always seemed to be cool with adding another plate to the table so you could stay for dinner, and your parents always drove you all to the movies.
