A couple weeks ago I reviewed a bundt cake recipe (the “candy apple” bundt cake), and although I liked it, I felt the recipe I chose was lacking. Because of my parents’ close birthdays I soon found myself making another cake. Of course, again I was pressed for time, and a bundt cake again came to my rescue; Canadian Living’s [...]

How many ways can you think of right now to pick up a paper clip? A group of researchers did an experiment to ask a same group of kids this question over a number of years, and quite surprisingly, these kids come up with less and less answers as they grow older.

Last Tuesday, the Epcor Centre presented an insightful and enchanting performance called Red. I was with Youth Central, volunteering for the event and had the fortunate opportunity to watch the show live. There was an excited atmosphere and the fans were most definitely anticipating the show! I know I was! SPOILER ALERT – Stop reading here if you don’t want [...]

The great thing about blogging is that it is so personal- no one gets to grade you or tell you that what you’re doing is “wrong” or not “correct.” . However, because it is so personal and open, ideas and individual style can come difficult. The following list I’ve compiled has personally helped me draw inspiration and become a better [...]

Are you one of those folks that wanted to try a “First Person Shooter” in real life, but Laser Tag just wasn’t doing you justice? Have you searched far and wide to try to find the best paintball place near your city? If you have a car and don’t mind driving for a bit, then I recommend Capture The Flag [...]

First thing’s first, I have not read the book so I am reviewing this solely movie wise, not about if it was true to the book or not. Plot: Nick Carraway, a young man trying to succeed in the success of bonds in New York during the 1920′s, meets his strange neighbour Gatsby. Jay Gatsby hosts wild and huge parties [...]

On every Urbanspoon (a trending website!) restaurant review page, the “opinions” section always has a “blog posts” section: Their Spoonback feature enables your food reviews for specific food places to be shown in that section! Letting readers access your food review blogs that way is very advantageous. If you click back to some of my food reviews, you’ll see that they have been recently [...]

If you head to any Asian supermarkets in Calgary, you’re likely to see one of these large jars sitting on shelves sitting along with other tea products instead of with jams. The contents are much more reminiscent of a marmalade than something to make “tea” with. The doubts are definitely reasonable – Citron tea, yujacha (유자차 in Hangul), is a soothing remedy for colds [...]

Great schnitzel is hard to find outside of Bavarian cities like Kimberly, which is why I’m happy to say I’ve finally found a place. Not only is the schnitzel delicious at Wiener-Schnitzel Haus, but they also serve six different variations on the traditional German dish. One thing to note is the portions are huge; an order of schnitzel covers the [...]

If you haven’t heard of the Green brothers, let me give you a quick run down. John Green, (whose quotes I have featured in this article), has to be one of my favourite writers. If you’ve ever heard someone exclaim “Have you read TFIOS?!”, they are referring, not to some extra-terrestrial piece of literary material, but in fact, Green’s latest [...]
