So here we are. It has been approximately 6 months since I last did a blog post! This Christmas we were very fortunate to have a break between Dec 24 and Jan 5th so I was able to catch up on a lot of things I needed to take care of. Finally, I feel like » Read More

Daniel has approved Karen’s relationship request

15th May, 2007 - Posted by karen - No Comments

I just joined the dark side. I joined Facebook. It’s rather funny because I read an article about it in the Globe a few weeks ago and just after that it seemed like everyone I knew joined. Of course Dan has had an account for about 100 years already but never promoted or mentioned it » Read More

just say no to “pho”

Dan and I went out for lunch today to a Veitnamese restaurant in CDN. I checked a few reviews and specifically went for something that offered more than “Pho” (Vietnamese rice vermiceli soup).

Ever since we bought the espresso machine last summer there has been “talk” of getting a good grinder. It’s quite hard to get the coffee places here to give you a good grind for espresso (and as we have both learned it’s really important) so I caved and Dan picked up a grinder this week. » Read More
