The war is waged after dinner, on the sofa, whilst I wield a remote control.Junk food comforted me throughout my childhood…
These iced sesame noodles have become my summertime bestie. Is it hot out? If so, there’s a good chance this is going to be on the table. I’m here to share the details before we run out of summer. Imagine a rotating cast of long, slurp-able noodles (soba, pici, somen, spaghetti, etc.) tangling with a creamy sesame sauce, topped with 4-5 easy toppings. That’s the basic formula. The noodles are served family-style in a large bowl of ice water. Everyone mixes up their own individual, custom portions. So good, so fun. Definitely a Japanese-inspired concept, dovetailing, in our house, with…

Hydration―an essential part of a great vacationIf you often get sick during or after a trip, you aren’t alone. Depending on the destination, upwards of eight out of 10 Canadians get sick after a vacation. This may be due to an array of factors, all of which hydration can play a part in ameliorating.
