We’re already mid-way through the month of February, but there are still many cool holidays and happenings that some of us may not even know about. February is Children’s Dental Health Month, International Friendship Month, and Responsible Pet Owner’s Month. It is also National Cherry, Embroidery, Grapefruit, Snack Food, and Wild Bird Feeding Month. Take…
Since High School graduation is just around the corner for a lot of us, saving money to go away to universities and colleges maybe important for you. As students, we have limited financial bases and sometimes, limited support. How can you save for college when you are in college, or even before you start college? Here are some…
Japan has an overabundance of cute things. Their cartoons are cute, their clothing is cute, even their tissues are cute. And this excess of cute-ness has gone so far as to spill over into their bento box lunches. I had an extremely difficult time choosing which bento boxes to feature in this post because all…
I was hanging out with my friend and we were watching some funny youtube videos. She showed me some videos by someone named Mitchell Davis. I had brought him up in a conversation with some other friends, and they didn’t know about him. This guy is so awesome, I thought there should be a post…
Before computers existed, what did we ever do with all of our time? My friend asked me that the other day and it made me realize how much time I actually spend staring at this screen. It also made me think about all the ridiculous toys we used to play with and how kids these…
Many of you may know that yesterday, February 2nd was Ground Hog Day! This holiday is celebrated both in Canada and the United States. What exactly is ‘Groundhog Day’ and how did it come to be? I had the same exact question until some friends clued me in. Groundhog Day dates back all the way to…
Alright, frankly, I find the following pieces of art to be a bit disgusting. They definitely don’t meat my tastes artwise anyway. Regardless, I must admit that these could have a meateor-like impact on the food-art scene. Puns aside, take a look. If you’d like to celebrate your love of meat without hanging raw meat…
I came across a ranking of Calgary’s restaurants and wanted to share this with you all! Peters’ Drive-In managed to take the number one spot. The first twenty-five are in this post! Check out the below list to see if some of your favorites made it or if you just want to try some new…
The life cycle of chewing gum is generally as follows: processing -> packaging -> sale -> consumption -> spitting out into the garbage -> life in the landfill. On rare occasions, in the hands of the right people, such as Jason Kroenwald of Ancaster, Ontario (he now resides in Toronto) this life cycle is changed.…
The Olympics are starting in less than a month, and to get everyone feeling extra patriotic, I thought I’d let you know about a cool contest that is going on. Monopoly (one of my favourite games) is launching a new Canadian Edition (thus replacing the old one) of the game, and there’s a contest going on…
The other day a friend and I were discussing about dreams and whether if you die in your dream, do you die in reality? This got me more interested in the topic and thankfully after some ‘googling’ and research, the answer is no! (Phew) Dreams have been around for quite some time; at least as long…
Don’t touch that dial! There’s more bread art coming up. Well actually, since this bread art is two-dimensional, perhaps you will have to change the dial to do some shading… The Bread Art Project was created when the Grain Foods Foundation and Ted Allen, host on the Food Network, partnered up with Feeding…
I don’t know many people who hate sweets, but it seems that we sometimes have sugar cravings and don’t know why. One view is that sweets are associated with fun, happiness, or celebration. If you win a basketball game, you could celebrate with ice-cream. Some people have sugar cravings because it is a routine or…
The last time I had a nightmare, it wasn’t about bread. I wouldn’t think that it was so strange if meat appeared murderous, but gruesome grains? Be warned: the following bread may give you nightmares. And now that you have sufficient reason to think twice about heading to the kitchen alone for a midnight…
…and “Get your pants off the ground!” Alabama’s General Larry Platt auditioned for season 9 of American Idol this past week. His performance was more than extraordinary for a number of reasons. Reason 1: General Larry performed an original song that he wrote, entitled “Pants on the Ground.” Reason 2: He performed a break dance…
