I have a confession to make, I’m no patriot. In fact the very idea makes me nauseous. This is a post I have been thinking about writing for a long time now in the interest of transparency–but have been avoiding it as I know it will probably piss a lot of people off. To be honest I have a lot of confessions to make, but I can’t really make them all at once so I will just take it one step at a time. I am one of those people who have to go out and make mistakes for themselves, so I have a lot of things I have done in my life that I am not proud of, but those are tales for another time. Right now, I just want to be upfront, as honest as I can be at the moment and clear on where I am coming from so I don’t mislead anyone.

I discovered this, written by a Shaker while I was studying at the Culinary Institute of America. One of the most fantastic aspects of that school is the huge library they have of culinary works from across the centuries. I was writing a paper on the Shakers. When I first read this I got goose bum ...

This week I was finally able to send in my application for Health Insurance in Canada. It has been 4 years since I had coverage, and during this period I was the unhealthiest that I have ever been (so typical eh?). In one of those synchronistic events a friend also sent me the link to the video To Y ...

This is such a beautiful train ride. All up and down the West Coast is gorgeous and we all know, the train is the way to go. They have fantastic windows in the train.
We go through Tacoma and past Boeing, it is a really interesting ride--a pretty good glimpse into the All American Hometown style. ...

Backbone of The Wild Wild West
I haven't got much money
I don't like to make a show
But when it comes to real good friends
I love to share my 'dough'

It is jam packed with useful herbal information as well as some interesting anecdotes of adventures to find seeds. They have an incredibly extensive range of hard to find ...
