The Rabbit Died Bread Pudding
(October 5, 2011) - Mark W. Law

Necessity is the Mother of invention... Somehow we ended up being gifted a dozen packages of hot dog and hamburger buns and a half dozen loaves of bread! The timing was perfect actually as Mrs. Teeswater.ca was just heading out the door for a week in the sunny south, leaving us 'menfolk' to bach

Mumbai Pasta Soup
(September 30, 2011) - Mark W. Law

So Dad is fighting a streppy throat and cold and the Junior General is coming down with a bug. It must be that time of year when the cooler, damper weather brings the flu bugs out to play. What better way to beat the autumn flu than a spicy hot soup full of pasta, veggies and all sorts of goodnes

A Good Day for Technology – And Baseball

I find it interesting the events that 'coincidentally' happen on the same dates. For example, today, September 30th has a number of historic events from the energy and technology fields: 1882 – Thomas Edison's first commercial hydroelectric power plant (later known as Appleton Edison Light

Better Alternatives?

Often getting from point A to point B is no straight line - especially when dealing with near-sighted bus drivers. Global warming and climate change are real - deal with it. The days of 400 horsepower Detroit behemoths have gone to join the Edsel Ranger and the Zeppelin. So can be said of the 'me

1000 Loaves of Bread

1000 Loaves of Bread
(September 21, 2011) - Mark W. Law

What would your family do with 1000 loaves of bread? Make... 8000 Peanut Butter & Jam sandwiches? 16000 open-faced Hot Turkey Sandwiches? 16000 slices of Cinnamon-Sugar Toast? 1000 loaves of bread is the equivalent to a family of four of the cost of the War on Terror. Not a family

"Announcing the *NEW* Teeswater.ca!! Leaner, greener and FULL of the things YOU asked for!" 1000 articles ago, we launched this site simply because there wasn't one quite like it... Well at least here in Teeswater. I suppose in the grand scale of things 1000 articles is not much, probably w

Lawn Signs & Annoying Phone Calls
(September 12, 2011) - Mark W. Law

A week into a rather snoozy provincial election campaign and other than a REALLY annoying call from the Liberal Party and SEVERAL annoying calls from the PC's all has been relatively quiet. Is it just me or is this what Ontario politics are all about? Granted, I am from the Weird and Wet Coast, w

You have to love the first week of September. One minute you are lounging on the deck thinking about mowing the lawn and the next you are wondering what to put in the J.G.'s lunchbox for school (assuming you have a Junior General or two at your house). Standing at the school waiting for the door

Back To School

Back To School
(September 6, 2011) - Mark W. Law

Imagine... the start of another school year. Where does the time go? The Junior General is in grade 2 this year, his 4th year of school already - at the ripe old age of 6 (for a couple more weeks). When I started Teeswater dot Ca we were just contemplating what life would be like when he started
