Lesbian enough?

Update: I originally posted this back in 2012. Recently, I’ve read many posts here on WordPress concerning women who identify as lesbians and their presentation to the outside world. I chose to re-post this rather than create a new blog. All information is still pertinent with the exception that I no longer work at the retirement…

Halo Halo

Halo-halo literally means ‘mix mix’ in English. In reality it is one of my favorite Filipino desserts, see there’s me, a couple of years ago, eating one. But that’s what this post will be. . . no, not a dessert but a ‘mix mix’ or hodgepodge of items. I received some inquiries concerning a few…

Leftovers

What to do with all that leftover Thanksgiving Day food? Not only did we have extra food not eaten, but also pounds of food that hadn’t been made into their dishes. We didn’t have the traditional meal with turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, yams, etc. I’ve turned those items into leftover dishes for years.…

Non-traditional Thanksgiving

The gal pal, sk, and I decided to buck tradition this past weekend when we celebrated Thanksgiving Day here in Canada. We always make the food for the festivities whether we hold the event in our house or not. On Sunday, we served our guests spanish style tapas plus sk made a Filipino/spanish paella. We…

I’m in trouble. . .

I’m starting to perform things here at home because, well, I have nothing better to do. This is dangerous. I’m starting to feel better so I have a bit of energy but not enough to be active in a productive manner, like mopping the floors. Moments like these are when I come up with ideas…

Buckley’s

I am not one to promote items or agendas, until now. I wholeheartedly throw my weight (don’t laugh) behind Buckley’s. This is one product that Canada got right and it kicks the shit out of any comparison product in the US. Since I started taking those magical capsules, I haven’t been able to string two…

The Fam

I don’t know if I’ve ever introduced our four-legged family members in a previous post or not and I’m too lazy to scroll through to check, so here are a few photos of our babies. Sadly, our fish, Hank, passed recently and no photos exist. First up is Miss Sophia Rose. She roamed the streets…

A Camping We Will Go

This summer is turning into The Summer of Camping. Yeah, I can’t believe it myself. My gal pal, sk, is actually coming up with ideas for activities we can both do while we are out enjoying Mother Nature. Her latest idea: boating. To be more precise, buying an inflatable beach boat on sale just so we…

Not a Reflection on Me

I’ve dreaded writing this post and I don’t know why. I don’t care how other people receive it. I don’t particularly care what others assume they know about me. I guess I find this one hard because when I actually write what I have to say then it is permanent and I have to accept…
