It’s cold outside, and that cold is getting inside too. It’s time for that hot, sweet, delicious, winter beverage. Have you ever wondered about the difference between hot cocoa and hot chocolate? Some people agree that they are the same thing. However, I believe that they are different. According to An Educated Palate, hot chocolate…
Collecting food bank items instead of candy A couple weeks ago, I wrote this post about alternative ways for teenagers to spend Halloween. So what did I end up doing on Halloween?

With two locations in Calgary, I’ve been wanting to try eating at Famoso for a while. They boast unique, quality ingredients and an authentic, Italian cooking process. They did not disappoint.
