Once a week I like to treat myself to those yummy pizza rollers they sell at Pizza Hut. I don’t care what you say… I think they’re yummy. Mmm!
Usually, with a pop, they cost $7.65 but today I was dinged $8.16. This increase is a result of the new Harmonized Sales Tax which combines the [...]

“I want cupcakes!” I demand.
I’m hanging out with my friends Jess, Paul and Michael. We’re walking their dog Buster when I am overcome with an insatiable craving for cupcakes!
There are a few chain stores in Vancouver that are dedicated to selling just that, but they are located several blocks away from where we are.
“I’m not [...]

This cooking video has been making the rounds lately. It shows a super-morbidly-obese woman making a very unhealthy macaroni salad.
If you haven’t seen the video I encourage you to watch it:

Today I had breakfast at the abc Country Restaurant in Kensington Square here in Burnaby.
I felt like eating something “fun” so I ordered their Strawberry Waffle Supreme which is a Belgian waffle served with strawberries and whipped cream. It cost about $10 with tax. I ordered it to go, so they put the waffle in [...]

We have an issue with pie at my household.
My housemate was visiting his parents on the island over the long weekend. He brought home a nice apple pie that his mother mother made. He kindly offered me a very good pizza but made it clear the pie was off limits.
“My Mom gave me more wine [...]

Last night I made some perogies!
But instead of boiling and pan-frying them I decided to boil and deep fry them. I thought they’d be disgusting and greasy, but they turned out okay. All I did was throw ‘em in a pot of boiling salted water for about six and a half minutes then I deep [...]

I made a lovely taco platter for supper tonight. It’s the only Mexican dish I know how to make and I wanted to honour the day.
Even my cat Khan got into the spirit.
The tacos turned out great.

I always thought it was an American thing, but apparently the provincial government issues food vouchers to assist people in dire need. They are government issued vouchers which can be exchanged for any item of food at any retailer in the province.
A friend of mine, who wishes to remain anonymous, is in the process of [...]

As you all know my housemate has an iron palate when it comes to pizza. He’ll order the nastiest pizza from Domino’s or Panago and eat it up to a week after it’s been in the fridge.
Some of you may remember his more unusual methods of reviving “dead” pizza.
Usually he’ll throw it out after I [...]

So… I’m sure you’ve all seen the now infamous Domino’s video…
My first thought after watching this video was “I’m glad I never order of Domino’s” and to my housemate, David, who would always order Domino’s until I nagged some sense into him I say: “I TOLD YOU SO!”
I hope this story, as gross as it [...]
