I still take out some books from the Library in paper form when I can’t get them digitally and don’t want to buy them. It keeps my wrists strong since I have to hold up the heavy book instead of the light kobo. Haha.
One thing that always strikes me as odd is how long books […]
This post is longer than it should be because I haven’t written in awhile, my code is taking a long time to compile these days, and it’s my blog so I’ll do what I want. I put headings so you can skip to the actual review part if you so choose

And just in case you were worried I have not had food poisoning since. Also, I have not had sushi since. Though I sat in a sushi restaurant on Saturday and watched folks […]
Did you know that if you have a case of food poisoning in Toronto you’re supposed to report it? No? Well, neither did I. But N did and so when I got sick and told him I wasn’t planning to file anything, he called them on my behalf.
It was super awkward when a health inspector […]
I love Pepper. I put it on almost everything, and always on my eggs. So it’s no surprise that I had the urge to Pepper up this fluffy frittata from Sarabeth’s in NYC.
Only thing is I didn’t know that the lid of the pepper shaker was not screwed on correctly. Result: a mound of pepper […]
