OAFE Award: PC Papa Panini Sandwich Press

Every Christmas I am spoiled by my loved ones, and this one, despite my efforts to change the pattern, was no exception. Everyone went above and beyond, again, and it seems I came out the winner. And, as per usual, it would be much too hard to narrow down a favourite gift, but I am...

Green Christmas. Boo.

We are celebrating a green Christmas this year.  It’s the first I’ve experienced in Ottawa (after living here for 24 or so years), and I have to admit…it blows.  What was supposed to be my second annual snowman hunt turned out to be an afternoon watching Dan play Xbox.  Super lame.  The lack of snowmen...

A day late and a dollar short.

I feel less bad about not posting Happy Birthday wishes to Kris because we celebrated her big day on Thursday…which makes it early and, in my opinion, relieves me of all guilt. But either way, a Happy Birthday still goes out to Kris, my favourite blogger and the best friend I ever made as an...
