Be My Valentine…Again

Ethan — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:39:50 +0000

Dear single women on Valentine’s Day: I had such a wonderful time with you all last year that I’d like to invite you again for dinner. If you’d allow me the pleasure of your company, I’ve created three dishes that I made specially for you. As always, I want you to know that someone out [...]

Oh, hello there…

You may not remember me, but I’m Ethan and I claim to write in this little space more often than once every 39 days. I knew I was taking a small hiatus to settle in to a routine out here in Vancouver, but it wasn’t meant to be this long. Somehow one week of inactivity [...]

Lessons for 2012

Ethan — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 23:41:15 +0000

The plan was to let 2011 come and go silently in this space. It was a rocky year that had its high moments, but I didn’t sense the need nor the desire to relive it. I feel as if I’ve already done my fair share of self-reflection. However, I came across a wonderful and insightful [...]

To me, iPhoneography is…

A few months ago, thousands of us were mesmerized and glued to our chairs during an online photography workshop put on by CreativeLIVE. There were also six students who had a one-of-a-kind chance to sit face-to-face with world-renowned photographer Penny De Los Santos. Over the course of the weekend, Penny shared everything with us, including [...]

Moving to Vancouver…

Ethan — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 23:53:35 +0000

Well, the title gave it away, didn’t it? But, if you need to me say it again, I will. I’m moving to Vancouver! It’s happening tomorrow. As in Friday, November 25. As in about 12 hours from now, I’ll be on a plane heading west. The position is with the BC Lions of the Canadian [...]

Accidental Brownie Cups

Ethan — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 07:19:58 +0000

No elastics or paperclips were used in the making of this post, but I’d still like to think of myself as MacGyver right about now. I’ve always been a night person, so it’s really no surprise that I usually feel the need to bake late at night. I usually start with some type of craving [...]

Sriracha Peanut Butter Cookies

Ethan — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 05:08:34 +0000

Twenty-two days since my last post. You can read any “how-to” blog article and they will certainly not endorse that! But you know what? I haven’t been in a proper mindset over the last twenty-two days to write anything that I actually wanted you to read. I don’t want to waste your time by stringing [...]

Pumpkin S’mores

Ethan — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 23:02:10 +0000

Summer is officially over and this disappoints me. It’s not that I have a dislike for Autumn because as far as seasons go, it’s just like the perfect porridge, not too cold, not too hot, but juuuuust right. However, with Autumn now here, it means another season has come and gone. I’m sure one day [...]

My iPhoneography Apps 101 via Roasted Garlic

Ethan — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 22:05:39 +0000

I’m thinking of selling t-shirts that read “Man-whore App” with a yet to be determined clever image. Is there a market for it? I have no idea. Is it slightly offensive? Possibly. Do I have a love for apps for my iPhone? Absolutely. Do I especially love photography apps? Well, I’m writing about it. Am [...]

Confessional Ghetto Pasta Casserole

Ethan — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 05:26:13 +0000

Three days ago, I had no food in the kitchen except for a bag of rigatoni, cheese slices, a tomato and Panko bread crumbs. I was hungry, too lazy to go out and get groceries and did not want to spend money on having a pizza delivered. So, I put on my Iron Chef thinking-cap [...]
