I’m a tea snob – I admit this freely. I wasn’t always a tea snob but then again, I wasn’t a chocolate snob then either. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve become more selective in the types of tea and chocolate I’m willing to consume. I […]
No details but recently circumstances required that I make a trip down to Toronto with my Mum. While Mum did her stuff in the Greater Toronto Area, I got to spend an all-to-short six days in the company of my good friends Shane and Sheridan. It was a bittersweet visit, sweet because I got six […]

Yesterday I spoke about how my Mum picked up a bunch of gluten free grocery items for me, today I’m going to tell you about another of the […]
Enjoy Life Boomchocoboom Bar

I hate it because, well, the first tortes/pies went horribly horribly wrong. Given the venue and the timetable for Coronation, I knew that I needed to prep ahead and one of the items […]
Sorry for the delay in posting. I’ve had a cold which is kicking my asthmatic butt. I will post a two part recipe to make up for the lack.
One piece of the two part dessert I offered up at Coronation was rice pudding but it’s not the same as modern rice pudding. The medieval text for the recipe is rather long for a recipe that really only has four ingredients, mostly because half the recipe deals with how to make almond milk. To […]
