So, I helped my mama cook this past weekend. Caveat: This consisted of me rolling shrimp rolls poorly (harder than it looks folks), eating those rolls (as a favour of course) & snapping pics on iPhone (while desperately wanting the G11). After a while, she gave up. Just shook her head, and let me be. Content, eating poorly-rolled [...]

Vietnamese, at its best
Posted in food, tagged asian, home-cooking, pho, Vietnamese on February 14, 2010 | 3 Comments »
Home is where the heart is… or in our case, our tummies. Delicious. Home-made. Vietnamese food. Hands down, my mama is the best cook. Ever. Oh, I know. Big claim. Everyone feels that way about their mama’s cooking. Though, you may just be swayed (i won’t tell, promise) if I take you home with me for dinner. No pressure [...]

It’s becoming a bit of a tradition at O - birthday lunches at Tutti Matti. And we were back, celebrating our lovely M last Friday. Getting nine people out the door, at the same time, on time, for a reservation – a feat in itself. Best part, the restaurant is next door (literally). And, bless them – we’re [...]

Have said this before & will say it again. I could eat an avocado a day, for 365 days straight, and not tire of it. In advertising, we’re conscious of creative fatigue. And we swap out creative that appears to be underperforming due to perceived wear-out, overexposure etc. That, my friend, would never be the case. I would never [...]
Politica

Last last Friday eve (timely, this post is not), we had a much-anticipated ladies night. Why? Because it had taken us months to get together. And 5 out of 7 live in the city. For shame. Restaurant chosen? After much debate, Politica. Located inconspicuously between Queen West & Libery Village, tucked away on Strachan, it was [...]

Sharing good food with friends. The best. Sharing good food with a friend you haven’t seen in 3.5 years…even better. But of course, not completely out of touch. Impossible not to know a snippet of their life, if that news feed algorithm or semi-stalking works as it should. Wait. The algorithm, not the stalking. Anyway, instead of the “i [...]

Home-made & delicious. Mama would be so proud.
