Veg BBQ

The family was recently gifted a barbecue when dear friends moved to British Columbia. Best thing about this bbq is that it has always been veg-only. I’m already hooked – I especially love not heating up the west-facing kitchen (someone’s bad idea or terrible joke). Tonight we’ll be having asparagus, zucchini, tofu, and baby potatoes, […]

I’ve been filling up on beautiful, juicy, bright red strawberries. Local even. This is a great time of year in this part of the country.

Grilled Tofu

On nights when it’s too hot to light the oven a great favourite here is grilled tofu. I have a small countertop grill that’s just right for a single brick, marinated in tamari, hot sauce, garlic powder, and water. Grill each side for 10 minutes, basting every few minutes with more of the marinade — […]

Local asparagus

Last weekend I was out in Harrow (coming back from not catching the boat to Pelee Spring Song). After a morning playing with my nieces I picked up some “thin” asparagus – the barn had a small assembly line with workers grading and separating the freshly picked stalks. Today I’m marinating it in oil, balsamic […]

How to Procrastinate

When did a B become a bad mark? (omg I hope I don’t get a B on my assignment.) It seems this is what happens moving up into graduate studies. Everyone is stressing over grades. Nothing below an A is good enough and a B is required to pass a course. I hate having that […]

I’ve been meaning to go for months but it never worked out until today. This morning I went there for tea with my friend Lisa. I also had a “texture” cookie, all full of raisins, seeds, apple and yummy goodness and the desserts are vegan (even the choco-chip cookies — only place in Windsor with […]

Why I Drink Ontario Wine

I live in Ontario. As much as I am able to choose, I drink Ontario wine, made from grapes grown in Ontario. I live about an hour north of Pelee Island. I live about three hours south-west of the Niagara Escarpment. Between these two regions there are many wines to choose from. I’m lucky about […]

Grocery Musings

A few things I’ve noticed about grocery stores, groceries, and grocery shopping: During the day on a weekday, the grocery store is filled with women with babies and old people. Even in this factory town where a large number of people are shiftworkers there are few men, fewer men with children, and very very few […]

Poverty Diet

Best diet I’ve ever heard of. It worked well, steady weight loss over time, kept it off well too. The secret? Not having enough money to buy food. Pay the shelter bills first – hopefully you’ve enough for those. Next: feed the kids – peanut butter, pasta, tomato sauce, and dried beans from the food […]
