MAIC 2015, Greensboro
We had an amazing weekend!!! I can’t believe it’s already been a year since the last Greensboro convention in 2014. Time flies and so much has happened since MAIC 2014. Let’s recount what happened this weekend. 🙂
On Wednesday, August 5, 2015, we all assembled in front of the Walmart at our meetup point at 4 a.m. Continue reading
Busan, South Korea. November 2014
This picture was taken when we were walking on the Oryukdo Skywalk in Busan, South Korea last autumn in 2014. I actually have a lot of these pictures when I’m walking on top of some glass walkway or platform and take a picture of my feet with the world below me. Continue reading
Tandoori Chicken & Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds from Chef’s Plate
If you have read my post from yesterday, you will know that I recently got a shipment of two meals from Chef’s Plate. They are a food delivery program that uses fresh and locally sourced ingredients to deliver meals of your own choosing.

Remember my recent post about visiting a cute little dessert shop located in a series of shipping containers called Market 707 in downtown Toronto? Market 707 is a little community of shipping containers where local small-business owners have set up shop to sell their merchandise like food, clothing, little trinkets, or even services like manicures and cell phone services.

Thanks to Buytopia.ca and their Outreach Program, I got to try out Brassaii Restaurant and Lounge this past Friday evening. Buytopia.ca reached out to me and provided me with a 10% off purchase for my readers with an exclusive promo code for a limited period of time. It was a really neat exchange where I helped Buytopia showcase their merchants and where my readers got to take advantage of some great deals on the site. It was a win-win situation! Continue reading

I had the pleasure of visiting a really cute and little known cafe called Bakery & Kaffee Haus yesterday. It is located on a popular street inside Queen Live Market on Queet St West by University (in front of the 299 Queen Street West/MuchMusic/Bell Media Queen Street) but I’ve never gone in until now.
Speaking to Eva, the one who graciously invited me, she told me that the cafe only opened a year ago and she herself had been working there for two months. The cafe is Viennese themed, with a few seats for you to take to enjoy your treats while looking out onto Queen St West. Continue reading
Richmond Hill, Ontario. July 2015
This week’s challenge theme is “inspiration“. The theme asks us what inspires us and what keeps us going. I don’t have children so I can’t say that that’s a really big inspiration that keeps me going (like most people). I actually aren’t sure if I have one at all. Continue reading

Le Gourmand is a name that I’ve heard of often. I got to come here yesterday for a brunch with a friend that I haven’t seen in a while! I was there early before our agreed-to time so I took this chance to try their much-talked about chocolate chip cookies and drip coffee. Continue reading

Chris, the owner of the restaurant invited me for a restaurant tasting since they are a relatively new business in the Stouffville area that specializes in house made everything. They feature BBQ, smoked foods, corn bread, desserts, craft beer, and cocktails. Continue reading
