No smell says “Christmas” to me quite like cloves. This is due to the pomander. When I was a kid, we made some pomanders and they lasted forever. Every year, when we opened our box of Christmas decorations, we were smacked by a waft of cloves thanks to the desiccated pomander that resided within. A [...]

I always start the week with the best intentions to cook, clean and exercise. But by Wednesday, my grandiose plans to go to the gym then make an elaborate dinner tend to get foggy. “What was I going to make? Can’t remember…and it’s already 8 o’clock…grocery store so far away. So. Tired. So. Lazy.” Before [...]

When city dwellers are too busy to make it to the grocery store, the first thing to go is fruit and veg. Ordering a pizza? Don’t even try to argue that smattering of mushrooms appeases the Canada Food Guide. Popping to the corner store? The greenest thing in there is Lime Crush. But here’s a [...]
