This summer has felt like a very long one, and for good reason. I was fortunate enough to do two summer opera programs, both involving my main guy, Mozart. I learned a lot at both places, and I grew (I think!) vocally. During this time, I also moved into a new place with one of…
Stars Wars Day is coming!
Star Wars day may be my favorite non-religious holiday. I grew up watching the movies, collecting posters, going to the theaters to see the prequels (as a child, they were totally awesome ok?), and still give the franchise my money with the sequels and spin-off side stories. But the original trilogy will always reign supreme…
Days Off = New Recipes
Fridays are my days off currently, and while most might like to order out for dinner on their days off, I love to cook and try new recipes because I have the time to do so! This Friday was no different–I had recently picked up some butternut squash at the grocery store and was trying…
Pasta is its own food group
Welcome to the last post of 2017! The week between Christmas and New Years always feel so long, yet so short. It’s the last week of the year and the new one is on the horizon. This year has been filled with lots of different things for me and I wouldn’t trade this year for…
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!
My mother is a Canadian citizen (yes, my mother is an alien*). *Resident alien, that is* And in Canada, they too, have a thanksgiving holiday though not as attached to historical legend as the US’ is. Their thanksgiving always falls on our Columbus Day and so this lucky gal gets two thanksgivings! In years past,…
Sweet Home Avocado
For my 25th birthday, one of my dear friends gifted me the Bob’s Burger’s Burger Book. First of all, what a gift–it’s been on my amazon wish list for forever. Second, ever burger has a pun title and this girl loves her puns. I looked through our fridge to see what we had and we…
Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month
Hello September! Hello FALL WEATHER! Gosh there are so many wonderful things I love about September and fall! I love the crisp air, the smell of fresh earth, the color of the ever changing trees, and the fact that I can pile on the scarves! I may or may not have a scarf addiction–just see…
The Hills are Alive with the Sound of Mozart
This summer has flown by quite quickly, and I don’t understand how it’s gone by faster than most summers. Maybe it’s because I didn’t have the routine of school and then summer break. This was my first year of being an “adult” and working the same jobs from August until now. An entire year of…
Anniversary Dinner for Two!
Twenty-seven years ago today, on a hot and humid July afternoon in Rivers, Manitoba (that’s in Canada), my parents said yes to spending their lives together. Marriage is a big deal and while it is something that should be looked at as beautiful and wonderful, it is also a lot of hard work and not-so-perfect…
How tart do you like your lemon?
My mom and I were the only ones at home a few weeks ago, with my dad in Taiwan and my sister on Mayterm. We had decided to pick up dinner at our grocery store, choosing things that the two of us love but usually don’t experience due to the other members of our family…
