In my world, when the sun comes out I run to the kitchen to take photographs and, especially, shoot videos. On Wednesday I filmed my latest Bargain or Bust video on this grill pan I bought at Value Village. The challenge? Would I (limited by physical strength due to my fibromyalgia) be able to remove […]
It has been a while since I did a shopping update and I just love sharing my treasures with you! Thrifting I walked into my Value Village the other day and they organized it! I HATE it! Before, it was cramped and hard to see stuff so I could always find treasures nobody else would notice […]
What could be better than spending the afternoon at the Vancouver Art Gallery‘s café (aptly named Gallery Café) talking about publishing, food, zumba and embroidery? I can’t think of anything!

I wanted to write about the stinker product of the year which was for us President’s Choice Black Bean Stir-fry Sauce but I can not seem to find it on their website anywhere so […]
Christmas Eve I made a pot roast in the Instant Pot while fighting off a fever but still managed to come down with a very bad cold. But! I made the best Yorkshire Puddings in the world and they stayed puffy and fabulous and did not deflate. I used Alton’s Brown’s recipe but took mine […]
