Filed Under events, sponsored posts | July 20, 2011
The party’s over, the glasses have all been collected, the bottles returned for refund and the winners notified (once they’ve all replied we’ll share their names with you!). But that doesn’t mean summer sipping is over, here’s a handy reference of all the wines that came up in convo during the party. Feel free to [...]
time to wine:summer sipping…the end is here
Filed Under events, sponsored posts | July 15, 2011
There aren’t many things worse than a party guest that doesn’t know when to go. No amount of hinting can seem to get them out of your house and into the taxicab home. Luckily for us, we’ve enjoyed partying with you all so much, we never want you to leave! However, like all good things [...]

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m not sure how I’m going to be able to try all the wines this summer that Marcus has been suggesting. Its going to be tough let me tell you. Congratulations again to Sue, our winner of the 12 Riedel Wineglasses from Hemispheres. We’ll be drawing [...]

Yesterday’s questions (and answers) were so amazing, I can’t wait to make dinner tonight. Perhaps I’ll be inspired and pair a hot dog or two with Seguras Vidas (who knew), just to keep everyone on their toes. We’ll be drawing a winner today for the twelve pack of Riedel glasses, so now is the time [...]

time to wine: summer sipping day one
Filed Under sponsored posts | July 11, 2011
There’s nothing better than a party with your friends talking about adult stuff and sipping on your favourite bevvie. But lately, we’ve found it harder and harder to get together with our friends (what with kids and all), and when we do get together, the conversation inevitably morphs into one about daycare, new schools and…inevitably…poo. [...]

Its strawberry season, its strawberry season! Hooray! The giant baby consumes strawberries at an alarming rate. In fact, I’m fairly certain he would eat nothing but strawberries 24 hours a day if we let him (and if it didn’t do horrifying things to his digestive system). We’ve been giving him California strawberries much to our [...]
sponsored post (& contest): i’m a little sensitive
Filed Under contests, sponsored posts | June 12, 2011
I’m a rather sensitive person. My skin reacts to the all sort of irritants. I cry at cheesy commercials on TV (more at certain times of the month than others). My sense of smell is very, shall we say, refined. And my teeth cringe at the thought of ice cream or sticky caramel touching them. [...]
life is too short for bad food: foodie friday
Filed Under foodie friday, sponsored posts | May 27, 2011
When we think of Galloway’s Speciality Foods , we hearken back to days of old…like the eighties. We remember visiting Galloway’s on Robson with our parents to stock up on spices and nuts and grains (oh my) and all other things bulk and fabulous. The smell of the store was like being in a spice [...]
