Chinese New Year 2010
Growing up in a multi-ethnic and -racial household meant eating as much sauerkraut as I did, um, “phoenix talons” (a.k.a. chicken feet). Hey, don’t knock it until you try it. Or maybe just file this one away as TMI. One of the big events during my childhood was always Chinese New Year. This year the date happens [...]
Mexico Lindo
If, up until now, you’ve associated Mexican food with slathering as much melted cheese, sour cream, and salsa on some kind of soft or hard tortilla let me just direct you to a restaurant in the city that can sort you out stat. The only way to describe Mexico Lindo is to say that it’s [...]
Brotherly puppy love
On the dog blog today, we look at the relationship between litter mates Tofu and Calvin (who was recently visiting with half-brother Theo). Besides, pushing each other out of the way in order to get prime spot on my lap (and sometimes posing as each other), these boys have grown up to be best buddies. [...]
Tofu dog celebrates year two
It’s hard to believe but just under two short years ago, Cokebaby and I brought home a squirmy little five-month-old puppy. Now Tofu is 15 pounds of gentle love with a waggly bottom. Check out the dog blog where you can read about Tofu‘s adventures and wish his brother Calvin a happy birthday too (they’re [...]
Live chat with The Webconomist on Haligonia
Below is a little bit of web history in the making. Now, I wouldn’t say I have a fear of public speaking (I am a PR gal after all), but where others in my graduating class have gone on to media relations I’ve hidden behind the safety of my computer screen doing the whole online [...]
Breaking up is hard to do OR how to lose a dream job and still carry on
First, I have to apologize for it being quiet on the blogging front this week. Some of you who follow me on Twitter or who know me in real life have already heard the sad news. As the title of this post indicates, my dream job and I broke up on Monday. After three years [...]
Opa in the Park
In a city filled with ample opportunity for Greek dining, I have to say that Opa Greek Taverna has always been my restaurant of choice. That’s not to say that there isn’t another great Greek restaurant in the city. Opa just happens to be the one I invariably find myself at when the craving hits [...]
No boys allowed
Recently, the first #halifaxchicks tweetup took place. A number of geek girls decided to give props to local tweeters one #followfriday and from that grew the discussion of having a girls’ night out. Now, male bonding seems to typically include bro codes and high impact sports. I’m not sure what would happen on a geekier [...]
Hamachi House
This past weekend, a couple we know invited us to meet another couple over dinner. In the world of couples, this is like going on a first date. Making that ever important first impression can determine whether or not you’ll gain new friends or just move on. All being foodies, we decided to go for [...]
Livin’ on the East Coast: Finally home
[Maybe I'm sleeping off Cote du Rhone wine and a belly full of gastronomic wonders here in the lovely south of France, or maybe I'm touring around the ruins of the former Roman Empire. Je ne sais pas. One of my favourite bloggers in the beautiful city of Halifax generously offered to post here while [...]
