I am a salty person. I would choose chips over cake any day. I don’t enjoy overly sweet anything. The darker the chocolate the better. But my weakness is ice-cream. On my first date with my boyfriend, he passionately shared his love of gelato with me. We quickly bonded over our common interest. Having taken… Continue reading Ice Cream.
Celebrations.
Throughout my life, celebrations have always been centered around food and those you get to share it with. Birthdays, holidays, special moments in life. Where are we going to eat or what will we be making? Oftentimes the meal is what would be remembered most from the particular day. Throughout the last few months, we… Continue reading Celebrations.
Observations.
I love reading and writing. English was my favourite class. In university I took creative writing classes for fun. I’ve always been intrigued by writers and desperately want to be one. I fall in love with words and the sentences in which they are written. I owned a personal blog for a few years, about… Continue reading Observations.
Life Lately.
I miss going out. I miss sitting in my favourite restaurants and cafes enjoying good food, wine and coffee. I miss the restaurant's ambiance noises. I miss hearing servers passionately describe the specials of the night and listening to them wine talk while my mouth salivates. I miss having dinner parties, sharing good food and… Continue reading Life Lately.
Rude.
I love wine. I didn’t always love wine. When I first started enjoying wine, I was probably drinking Gallo White Zinfandel Rosé with a sugar content of 41 g/L. Overly sweet. Overly pink. Overly basic for someone who doesn’t really appreciate wine. I would never drink Gallo Rosé now. I’ll have a glass of water… Continue reading Rude.

My educational background after highschool was in Creative Arts and Fashion Design which heightened my appreciation of aesthetically pleasing things. Baking can be a beautiful art...if done right. I have tried many times to be a great baker. I follow recipes hoping my… Continue reading Bakerita.
Steak.
How do you like your steak cooked? I recently succumbed to the social peer pressure and watched the first season of Emily In Paris on Netflix. In one episode, Emily finds herself at a local restaurant eating steak frites. Upon cutting into her meat she exclaims that it is undercooked and not how she ordered.… Continue reading Steak.
Lunch Box.
During the second week of March was when my workplace started preparing to work from home due to Covid-19; everything was a little rushed with a lot of unknowns. For the first time in eight years, I would be working from home. I remember double checking my desk drawers one last time to make sure… Continue reading Lunch Box.
Moccione.
Moccione (moc·ció·ne) can be used as a noun and an adjective. The definition of moccione, when translated from Italian, is a bratty person; it is also a dirty snot. Moccione is a tiny restaurant that boasts big energy. With only 24 seats, the owners wanted a space that felt like you were their personal guests… Continue reading Moccione.
Three Things I Always Have in the Fridge.
In Garance Dore’s podcast, she ends her discussions with some rapid fire questions. One of them is, “What are three things you always have in your fridge?”. I always enjoy hearing people’s answers to this, so I thought I'd share the three things I always have in my fridge: Eggs I despise cooking but I… Continue reading Three Things I Always Have in the Fridge.
