Change to Canadian coinage, and my two cents
Imagine a world. Now in this world, imagine that there are no pennies, and bring in glow in the dark dino-quarters. Sound ridiculous, yet? Well, welcome to Canada as of April 16.
17th Ave Food Foray: Tubby Dog
Tubby Dog is not your regular hot dog stand. Enjoy hot dogs topped with cheese, bacon, chilli, chips, or even PB&J.

Top 5 pump up songs
Have you been putting in solid hours at the gym over the long weekend? I know I’ve had a lot more time for basketball, so I’ve decided to share some beats that always pump me up! (Heads up, some of the language is a slight bit explicit. Fair warning has been given.) Most people that…
17th Ave Food Foray: Big Cheese Poutinerie
During the lovely, carefree days of spring break, MJ and I again got together to bring you this review of the Big Cheese Poutinerie.

Puffed wheat squares: A recipe everyone should know

Recipe of the Day: Kraft Dinner Pizza
Last summer, I took a cooking class and I was amazed by this simple, yet delicious dish. I thought you should have the opportunity to make and try it yourself. The recipe mixes both Kraft dinner and pizza together. The two taste wonderful on their own, but imagine these mixed together! Here is the recipe: …
Photo of the Day: Hatching Spring
I took this photo at Queen Elizabeth Garden in BC over spring break. It may not seem like it now (it’s snowing – again?!), but spring’s coming to Calgary too… sooner or later =P

The Prince’s Island Series: Dining at the River Cafe

Alberta Elections 2012: A brief overview
After taking an introduction course in Political Science, I realize (even more) how democracy is failing in Western society. I can go on and on about what we could do and what we should be doing, but instead I will just encourage you guys to get involved in any way you can. If you’re in…
