  • Cora for Breakfast Falls Flat

    A friend from Steveston told me about his favourite breakfast restaurant, Cora. He loves the place so I thought, me being the lover of anything breakfast, I better give it a try. I have to admit I was seriously under-whelmed. Seriously. Yes, the service was great; fast and friendly and they have free wireless available…

  • A Day in Juneau Alaska

    We are currently docked in Juneau, Alaska although my body does not yet understand that it is not actually on a ship. The first shop I walked into I had to ask the woman at the cash if the building was still moving. She replied that in fact as a public service they put their…

    A sort of public service announcement today for my coffee loving friends; Starbucks is offering a Grande cup of coffee for the price of a Tall cup of coffee from now until September 5th. This offer only applies if you are in the store before 11am. After that, it is full price. And for the…

  • Happy Canada Day; Will it be Starbucks or Tim Hortons Today?

    Happy Canada to all! And on this Canada, what most are probably going to see as a most unpatriotic post; which do you prefer, Starbucks coffee or Tim Hortons? For me, if I have a choice, it is Starbucks over Tim Hortons every time. The coffee is always brewed perfectly and the taste is always…

We were told that they have enough body weight to carry them through the…

  • The Joy of Coffee

    Do you ever stop and think about how our modern day conveniences came about? Things that we depend on everyday, things like, for example, coffee. Who was it that stopped and picked the coffee berries and then had the foresight to dry them and save the hard little nut like thing that was inside? Imagine…

  • Do twins run in the family?

    Today when people asked us about the twins we replied that in fact they were not twins, we had met on PlentyofFish.com and we both had babies that were the same age, purely coincidental that they were born on the same day. And then later when people asked if twins ran in the family, we…

  • Baby formula is not…

    A word to the wise…if you perchance run out of milk in your house and you need some kind of “coffee whitener” do not try to use baby formula. Now maybe the babies do not understand what weird tasting shit that they are drinking but…my goodness. No milk in the fridge and no coffee whitener…
