Gill just got back from a trip to Florida and wants to talk about it, so I’ll let her do that now. I’ve been to Florida twice myself, once for a family vacation to Disney and once to go to the Space Camp for a week as part of the coolest grade 7 field trip …

Remember This
Gill is back with a Remembrance Day message. She’s right. War sucks and we all can and have to do better. Normally I am around to write a Remembrance Day article, however this year when the day comes I will be out of town. This year I am taking things in a new direction, and …
Lost In Translation
Gill is really firing out the posts this week! It’s kind of funny. I’ve been on both sides of this scenario. There’s my old post about people who don’t speak the language but say “yes” anyway. I had a more recent experience with that. I was in Nashville a few years ago for my awesome …
Could That Be Made Today?
Gill is back and wondering about television, specifically what shows from the old days would look like now if they could even get made. My pick for best show that may not get made today is Bizarre. It gave us Super Dave Osborne, was a platform for some excellent comedians who wound up being pretty …
This Boils My Potatoes
Gill has a question. I’m not going to answer it myself since complaining about shit is one of the reasons this place exists and anything that’s already happened has likely been covered, but the rest of you can feel free to have at it. Do you have pet peeves, or things that make you just …
Another Food Adventure

What makes them unique is I’ve traveled the world with out ever leaving my city. From Ethiopian to Thai, I’ve tried many different things. Culantro Perruvian Cookery Let me …
Pet Peeves
And now, here’s Gill with a word or three on ignorant dingisses. Do you have a pet peeve? Maybe your someone who hates having to stand in line, or having to sit beside a screaming child on the airplane. My pet peeve, or at least one of them, is ignorant people who make decent folk …
Wild Orchard Restaurant
Gill is back, and she comes bearing food recommendations! If you’ve ever wanted good Portuguese food, but simply can’t afford the flight, I have the place for you. Tuesday I went to this hidden gem while on a grocery shopping trip. Amidst a sea of sandwich and coffee shops this hole-in-the-wall provides a refreshing break …
Who Wants Some Facon?
And now, Brother Brad is here to tell you how to make vegan bacon in case that’s a thing you’d like to do for some reason. It seems that a Brainiac named Johan Lundstrom, in some basement lab somewhere has come up with something they’re calling vegan bacon If the very mention of the word …
Jammin In Jamaica!
Gill just got back from a trip to Jamaica and has decided to tell us a bit about it. Maybe one day I’ll go south myself. I often have family and friends tell me that I really need to hit an island during the winter, but I’m not so sure. Not because I wouldn’t enjoy …
