How far into the bottle does one have to get to even dream this, let alone work on one’s technique to the point that you feel confident appearing on national television to demonstrate it? If it were captioned, two thirds of you wouldn’t even have clicked play. Point to Japan. I have no idea how [...]

Earplugs are your friend.

Quick story: Years ago, before I met Mr. Wry, I was dating this other fellow. We had reached that stage in the relationship where I stayed over at his home some nights. He lived very near a local coffee roasters and I discovered, upon inquiry, that they sold green beans which you could roast yourself. I’m [...]

In my dreams…

Where does the time go these days? Between my massive dirt baby, mucous producing viruses that I assume were passed on to me by my sister’s children, and my desire to consume wine with other humans, there just doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of time left for much else these days. And I feel miserable about it. [...]

A hard row to hoe.

I make no secret of the fact that children are surplus to requirements in my life. I don’t need one (or, heaven forbid, more than one) around 24/7. I’ve known this since I was twelve – and you can check with my Tante Rose if you don’t believe me. At that age, I told her I didn’t [...]

If you’ve ever wondered what I’m thinking about while people are talking about math, working out or how clever their children are:

Amuse bouche

Or some other pretentious French term for “here watch this while I enjoy my cold.” I have been busy gardening. So busy that once I completed the garden, my body gave up and I awoke with a stye in my eye and a cold. Gorgeous. The gif below has all the basic elements of this unfolding drama. [...]

Raising kids right.

Perfect.

Mirror, mirror.

I was honking with glee while watching this video until I got to about the 1:08 mark. Then I realized I was watching a video of myself when presented with new and interesting foods. Oh mirror, you reflect too well. Also, the little fellow who makes off with the cake? My friend S will describe [...]

Halifax: try our low-hanging fruit!

Cheryl — Tue, 15 May 2012 00:34:35 +0000

For those readers who aren’t from my beloved hometown of Halifax, let me assure you that it is a lovely, amazing city. Vibrant, cultural, educated, and right on the ocean. What more could you want? Well since you asked, how about a reputation that doesn’t precede us with a chorus of dancing idiots? Some days it seems [...]

Take a load off.

I’m not normally doing fixer-uppers left and right. It just happens that I started this project about the same time as the old school desk. This one was an old Ikea chair of the Mister’s that sits in the corner of my old office. Perfectly sound in bones but looking a bit long in the tooth: I [...]
