Last Sunday, as I was working away, I looked up at the tv to see an amazing burger on the food network’s “You Gotta Eat Here“. And then all of a sudden, I heard him say “Peterborough”. WHAT!?!?! PETERBOROUGH ONTARIO?!? How have I not heard of this place?!? Clearly if John Catucci was telling me that I […]

La Petit Bar
My week isn’t quite complete without a visit to Le Petite Bar on Water st in Peterborough. Although it’s only 7 months old, this cozy little restaurant has made quite an impression with its made in-house charcuteries, cheeses from the neighbouring shop (Chasing the Cheese), and home made mustards and desserts. It’s a very intimate […]

100% of your donation goes to purchasing the contents of the gift box With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, it’s easy to take for granted how fortunate some of us are.

DIY letter shirts
I’ve never really been a sports fan and I’m almost completely useless in any sports related trivia. However, I’ll take any excuse to get decked out in team colours and cheer. During summers in Toronto, one of my favourite activities is getting together with a few friends, and buying cheap 500 level tickets to cheer […]

I picked up a few tips that might help you set the mood […]

The Works
Many of my cube mates were buzzing about the new burger joint that opened down the street. Call me a sheep but I obviously had to go see what all the commotion was about. What struck me at first was their kind of industrial meets Canadian log cabin themed decor. I loved the way the […]

Super heroes party
For some reason, people assume I’m really into comic books and that fan expo and comic cons are right up my alley. Maybe it’s because I had been looking forward to the Avengers for half a year. Or maybe it’s because I dressed up like Thor to go see it. (I unfortunately couldn’t get tickets […]

Camel Kisses
I’ve always been a fan of doing tourist things in your own city. I’m an even bigger fan when these things are free. That’s how I found myself strutting through the Peterborough Riverview Park and Zoo on a Saturday morning. Open from 8:30am until dusk every day, it’s a great place to bring the family. I had […]

Hot Belly Mamas
Moving to Peterborough and not knowing a single person here has made a table for one become a standard in my life. And I have to say, I kind of love it! Though I do miss sharing plates and being able to try more than just one dish. Alas, one dish is better than none, […]
