The most important things in life aren’t things.

  ~ Anthony J. D’Angelo

Since it seems now to be the season of get together’s (yay!), this past weekend saw us taking part in a real live potluck to echo the blogging event from last weekend, this time with quite a different real life twist to it. I consider myself and the family to be truly blessed to have an endearing bunch of long-time close friends, a good bunch of them living here in Whistler where I sit as I write this. Over the past 10 plus years, it has become somewhat customary for our group to spend the May long weekend together, with our numbers growing ever larger as families & personalities expand and the children (almost) out number the adults.

Why are you trying so hard to fit in, when you’re born to stand out.

~  Oliver James

I’d have to say that of all the foods out there, deep-fried foods really have never been my thing. It’s no secret that I always gravitate towards clean foods versus, well, the alternative (and this is not to say I deem the food I don’t prefer to eat as unclean). Continue reading →

I’ve long wanted to feature a recipe with tempeh on the blog, so I’ve simply got to say this is surely overdue. The truth is, even as long-term (my whole life) vegetarian (zero meat or fish – ever), the truth is, I’m not really a huge fan of soy. Growing up, tofu was a regular feature on my mom’s vegetarian dinner table, and we kids never passed it up with her deliciously fried medium tofu cubes that tasted amazing cooked up in plenty of soy sauce and then dunked in ketchup to seal the deal. Ah, the good old days. But I digress. Continue reading →

Sometimes your only available transportation is a leap of faith.

~ Margaret Shepard

When it comes to faith, it is without a doubt the one thing in life I think we ought to never leave the house without heaps of. Believing is next to breathing in my opinion, and I’ve yet to see a disastrous face plant after any scary leap I’ve ever taken (and hey, that’s what friends are for, to pick you up, right?).
