Hello!



I had the opportunity to attend a 5 hour Introduction to Thai Yoga Massage course at the Still Light Centre (276 Carlaw) this past Saturday and wanted to share with everyone here how awesome it was. I highly, HIGHLY recommend it.

The class I went to is an introductory course to a 20 minute sequence that you and a partner learn together, or you can go on your own and pair up with another solo person there, which is what I did.  If you're good at making fast…

One of my neighbours is kind enough to give me cast offs from her local produce delivery box.  When certain vegetables come into season they tend to dominate her deliveries.  In return for some veggies she is sick and tired of cooking I make a different dish and share the results…

As summer winds down, anyone with an herb garden will find themselves with an overwhelming supply of herbs to be used up before autumn.  Most basil will have flowered and should have been already turned into pesto.  Now is the time to gather up the last of the parsley for tabbouleh.  Other herbs can be…

It just took me 8 years to make the move.…

Frankly, I should keep my mouth shut, but I thought you all deserved to know there’s an awesome eatery in town. So awesome, it has earned a score of 100% on Urbanspoon. Need I say more? No, but I will anyway.

My neighbourhood just keeps getting better and better. With every restaurant I visit and every bite I take. Although, it seems to be the brunch spots…

Ok west-enders, if you muster up the energy to venture past the DVP, you can read on too.:)

So, I went for a run this morning and passed one of the new shops in Leslieville – Hooked - which sells fish and seafood as the name implies (very cute). I grabbed some cash and hurried back…

The workout theme at CrossFit Toronto in Leslieville this week has been finding our one rep max (1RM). In other words, the maximum…
