Juicy January – Healthful Habits & Reviews (part II)
The Juicing Joy Continues… Since my last post was so epic and primarily focused upon review of one item, I felt it most appropriate to create a second post to close out “Juicy January” with a few tasty ideas and a second review of another piece of culinary equipment with which I have been working diligently this past month: Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer. As mentioned in my previous entry, I had been desperately yearning to try out this amazing piece of equipment since having had it brought to my...

Please forgive the acute lateness of this post, which was meant to have gone live in time for the start of 2016. Although I have been juicing rather diligently since the beginning of the month, the passing of my absolute favourite artist just following the release of his new album (the imminent availability of which had been my sole source of consolation since the recent passing of my dear father) came as a terrible shock to me and set me into what I can only describe as a grieving tailspin relapse. Although I...

Warm greetings to you, kind reader, and a bittersweet farewell to 2015 As promised per my previous post, I have more to share in relation to some testing I’ve been doing of various attachments acquired for use with the KitchenAid Artisan series stand mixer I’ve recently inherited upon the passing of my dear father. This holiday season has been incredibly difficult without him, and experimentation with one of his most liked gadgets was meant to bring a bit of joy into a heart-heavy journey...
Read More2015 Year End Update – KitchenAid Joy & A Fond Farewell
Greetings, dear ones. I humbly ask forviveness after oodles of über inactivity & virtual quietude having spanned a course of many moons. Once again, our old friend Impermanence has profoundly affected each and every aspect of my life in a relatively Earth shattering fashion. The seemingly sudden illness and subsequent loss of a parent (then handling nearly all aspects of the aftermath almost entirely on my own) has rather taken its toll on my heart and subsequent creativity/inclination to share outwardly....
Read MoreRaw & Vegan Thousand Island
Thousand Island? I always found this particular dressing to be incredibly odd, right down to the name. What exactly is it? How did it come to be known by such a strange name? Does it ever go off? Is that colour really natural? O_o Growing up in a household which may possibly have been considered to be the polar opposite of vegan, I noticed a rather strange habit my father had of persistently stocking our pantry to the gills with hos own regular “staples” (none of which ever seemed to consist of...
Read MoreCorned Beetroot
Erm… WHAT and cabbage? Strange as it may sound, I honestly had no idea what “corned beef” was, or how such a thing was made, until just a few short weeks ago. I suppose it’s possible that some morbid curiosity at the name was what led me to sit still for long enough to find out… Cheers for the cringes, Food Network! 😛 Perhaps that’s only to be expected from someone who never really engaged in consumption of such things (though I can hardly believe that my 25th...
