There was a crazy solar storm early this week, which meant that it was a prime time to check out the aurora. An aurora-chaser friend of ours messaged us a 11 at night asking us if we wanted to try...
This is a quickie! Quick and easy recipes that I don’t have much to say about, aside from the fact that they taste awesome and you should give them a go! Cold noodle salads are my go-to when the...
One of the things I love most about summer are the long evenings that stretch out from early afternoon all the way until the sun dips behind the horizon. Here, at the height of summer, the sun sets just after...
I made this cake for a self-proclaimed cake hater. But, first let me explain what this cake is supposed to look like. If you grew up in Canada in the late 80s, you’ll remember McCain’s Deep ‘n Delicious chocolate cake....

You know, I never really got the appeal of cheese pizza. Growing up, my pizza of choice was always ham and pineapple. I’m pretty sure that was due to the fact that when I was a kid, I didn’t...
It’s National Donut Day! Last year I waffled up some donuts for a delicious hybrid wonut (waffle-donut) and this year I decide to go with a donut that you’ve probably never seen before: banh tieu, a deliciously deep-fried Vietnamese...
So, you’re planning on going to Tokyo? You’ve found the best place to stay in Tokyo and now you want to find some great food places. First off, congrats! I’m so jealous. Tokyo is one of my all time...
