I’m overwhelmed. I cannot begin to tell you how much your responses to my last post mean to me. How your kindness feels like cradling a hot cup of lemongrass and ginger tea in my hands on a cold rainy weekend morning, snuggled up in bed listening to droplets patter against my window. Comfort and [...]

My first three days in Melbourne were wonderful, filled as they were with friends, food, singing, new shoes, and much laughter. But none of that was why I booked the trip to Melbourne. The real reason was that, last year, a certain Canadian blogger announced that she’d be visiting Australia during her world trip. I [...]

My heart is feeling a little low on pizzazz today. In fact, if the doctor who analyses my blood test results next week decides to scan for pizzazz levels, she might find it necessary to prescribe three bags of sour cola gummies to cheer me up. You see, it was my grandmother’s funeral yesterday, and [...]

Hiya folks! I was planning to show you the brownies I made for a friend today, but instead the opportunity arose for me to offer those of you living in the US or Canada the chance to win a $50 gift voucher for any of CSN’s 200+ online stores. I’m guessing that many of you [...]

The following is a list of things I didn’t have the courage to do last week, but which I retrospectively wish I had: 1. Buy the jug puppy that stared at me with its sad little pet-store-encaged eyes for ten minutes, tail wagging. (I’ll have you know that my metaphorical tail was wagging back just [...]

I’ve been feeling a bit worn out lately. The heat is like a giant octopus sucking the creativity out of me through its tentacles. That’s how octopi work, right? They feed off the life-energy of fellow sea creatures by wrapping said sea creatures in tentacle hugs, squirting ink all over them, then stealing their auras [...]

I’m going to admit something right now, and I want you to promise not to hate me, harangue me, hold it against me, or do anything else to me that starts with the letter “h”. (Apart from humouring me. You can definitely humour me.) Promise? Okay. Here goes: I haven’t eaten pancakes in about a [...]

Theme: Citrus Recipe: Nacho Cheeze Book: Ani’s Raw Food Kitchen Look, I know what you’re thinking. “Nacho Cheeze? How does this fit into a Citrus theme? I smell deception and lies! Deception and lies!” Wait, no. That’s not quite right. This is probably what you’re thinking: “Raw vegan Nacho Cheeze? Cheese with a Z? Cheese [...]

Are you ready? I’m about to pull out some hyperbole. (Although it doesn’t feel like hyperbole to me; it feels like trutherbole.) So, are you ready? If you’re not sure, look at the photo at the top of this post. Really look at it. Are you ready? Okay. This Raw Brownie with Chocolate Icing might [...]
