Rule Brittania @ 60
4
Can you imagine – on Monday Queen Elizabeth II will have been on the throne 60 YEARS? In a reign that is the second longest in British history (she needs three more years on the throne to surpass Queen Victoria), she has seen 12 American Presidents elected, ruled as constitutional monarch of 16 countries (of the 54 in the Commonwealth), headed one of the major churches of the world, and on those rare ‘days off’ must … Read entire article »

Groundhog Day
2
Maybe Wiarton Willie and 11 of his pals are right – an early spring they say – not a shadow seen from Aurora Colorado (Stormy Marmot) to Lilburn Georgia (General Beauregard Lee). But it is still Groundhog Day, the day when just about anything can happen – and keep happening – just ask Bill Murray in the eponymous movie ‘ Groundhog Day‘. In our house 2-dash-2 started off with the Boss trying to download a book from … Read entire article »

It’s All In The Sauce
23
What is Roast Beef, Mashed Potatoes and Yorkshire Pudding without Gravy? Boring, for starters… The Chinese knew this 2000 years ago when the first chef squeezed a mass of fermented soya paste and discovered the liquid added zing to the chicken he was stir-frying. Today Soya Sauce is a staple in Chinese cooking and a condiment that should be in every fridge. Recent studies have shown that soya products may not be good for your health after all … Read entire article »

Kanadian Karma
20
dictionary.com defines Karma as “the cosmic principle according to which each person is rewarded or punished in one incarnation according to that person’s deeds in the previous incarnation.” Yesterday Karma was evident in a hospital room in Park City, Utah, as a beautiful young Canadian slid quietly down the half-pipe to her next life. Sarah Burke was a pioneer. She lived on the edge, pushed the envelope, knew all the cliches of what must be one of … Read entire article »

A Ceasefire in The War on Drugs?
18
The drug dealers sure aren’t buying new pink Cadillacs off me; come to think of it even the LCBO better not build a business plan off my bi-annual visits. I’m not a drinker. I have my customary glass of white wine (chilled please!) at Christmas dinner and if I am REALLY sick I MIGHT be talked into Grandma Weppler’s ‘Remedy’ of a humbug dissolved in hot water and thimble full of Jack Daniels. As for drugs, … Read entire article »

The End of The World?
31
Well, here I sit on the last day of 2011, a distinctly normal year (if that is possible around Casa Marcy St.) thinking about all the hoopla surrounding the supposed end of the world in 2012. For something that on first look appears to be right out of the pages of DC Comics there sure are a lot of people freaking out, building bomb shelters and generally preparing to transform / transcend / transport to the … Read entire article »

Oatmeal-Bran Minnie Bread
28
The bread machine has been working overtime this holiday season. There is just something about adding ‘fresh from the oven’ bread to any family meal, not to mention the wonderful smell it gives the kitchen! Oatmeal-Bran Minnie Bread is a hearty, dense bread well suited for toast, sandwiches (turkey of course!) and quite likely toasts up to make wonderful croutons! But the loaves are smallish (hence Minnie, who also asked for the recipe…) compared to regular … Read entire article »
