When I die (which will be as soon as my husband reads this review) they will have to pry my shoe collection out of my cold, dead, hands.  

Today was an excellent (divorce worthy) day to buy shoes.  I picked up two pairs at their sale.  And oh, quelle…More »

When I'm in the mood for some delicious falafel, but don't feel like making the trip to the holy land, I go to one of the many mini-holy lands in the GTA:  Thornhill.

Luckily, this take-out location of Me Va Me is just around the corner from my mum's…More »

Happy to report that the cafe is bug-free.  I've been here for two hours and have enjoyed myself so much that I have not done any work.  Instead, I've surfed the web using the free wi-fi, given myself the caffeine shakes with a delicious latte, and…More »
