For anniversaries and birthdays, I’m always hard pressed to find something I’d be proud to gift.

Unboxing – The Individual Meal Pack
Posted in food on Feb 21st, 2010
Wonder what kind of meal looks as good as the above?
It is one of the best, ready-to-eat meals available to our nation’s best – the made-in-Canada Military Individual Meal Pack (IMP) ration! Sans the plate, but nevertheless tasted better than the average boxed meal.
We discovered many interesting things as we researched the IMP prior to [...]
Tim Hortons and Cold Stone Creamery in Calgary
Posted in Tim Hortons, food on Aug 25th, 2009
If you haven’t heard, Tim Hortons has a few locations in Calgary that also serve Cold Stone Creamery ice cream. The combining of the stores was an experiment in the USA first, then they started moving into Ontario and finally, Calgary.
Cold Stone Creamery is similar to a Marble Slab – you pick your ice cream [...]

Hong Kong-style Milk Tea (top right of the picture) is one of those things you must experience in Hong Kong, alongside a good solid bowl of fish-cake noodles and egg-shaped waffles.
Milk Tea (奶茶, lai cha) is made up using black tea, evaporated milk, to which you add your own helping of sugar. It is one [...]

Tenshi Sushi
Posted in food on Jan 26th, 2009
Michelle and I dropped by Tenshi Sushi tonight, located on the north end of Kensington, wedged between the Broken Plate and the coffee bar. Tenshi is a tiny Japanese restaurant, and I think we eyeballed a capacity of 20 or less.
Some quick notes: We had the Honey Plum Tuna Appetizer, a few rolls and chop [...]

Anyways, we still had marvelous food, the entrees and [...]
