Beautiful song from a very soulful woman:

So I’m watching a CBC documentary called “Big Sugar”. Damn near one of the most depressing things I’ve seen in awhile. Why does sugar make me sad? 1) In 1915, the national average of sugar consumption (per year) was around 15 to 20 pounds per person. Today the average person consumes his/her weight in sugar, [...]

Amy Winehouse died a little while ago from “unknown causes”, on July 23 she was found dead in her home… and she was only 27. Most likely she died of an overdose. Here is my delayed tribute to this talented songstress: My favorite song from her first album, Frank; “Stronger Than Me” My other favorite [...]

So yesterday’s post led me down memory lane, thanks to youtube for the thirty minutes of “related video” distraction. I thought I would share one more counting fiesta with the Count… this one truly rocks: And then my favorite childhood TV character: the Swedish Chef.

When I first heard the name, I immediately thought it must be a combination of vegetables and termites. Sounded appetizing already. I actually ran [...]

I found this beautiful gem of a reminder that proves that capitals are INDEED important in the English language: “Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse.”

I bought some cashew butter recently because… well, because I can. And I was curious. Almond butter is delicious and nutty and almost “light” tasted compared to peanut butter, which I still love, but cashew butter is basically like dessert. I made the mistake of eating it for the first time at 7:00 AM and [...]

Here’s a little story for you. The game is: guess the age of the author. Email me with guesses, or leave a comment! It was an arranged marriage. She didn’t love him, he didn’t care. It was all based on the money of his father’s business. She felt uncomfortable with it. “Do it for your [...]
