Food, Glorious Food

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009


Okay maybe “glorious” is stretching just a tad.

I’m just a tad excited myself though, because I just delivered the manuscript for my new book, “Shut Up & Eat: Savouring the Joy of Family Bonding Time”.

And

Because I do believe you can judge a book by its cover…sometimes…

I’m so happy my new cover looks like this.

Inside the book you’ll find all my tips and stories about feeding a mostly ungrateful family, both in the house and outside.

There’s some recipes, some advice on getting through family gatherings, and solving the age old question of why kids think food tastes better when passed through a drive-thru window. ( having one installed next week.)

And yes, the wooden spoon is only for stirring.

It’ll be out April, 2010 – I’m already planning the launch party. I’m thinking there will be food.

You can pre-order your copy now – from Amazon or Chapters/Indigo

Just Eat It

Monday, December 15th, 2008

I love food. Eating it, that is. What I’m not so fond of is grocery shopping for it, preparing it, cooking it, and then finally putting in front of my four kids who will inevitably hate it. Not all of them, not all on the same day. But, as the saying goes, you can’t please all of the people, all of the time. And kids are sort of people.

(And so they think the fire alarm is the dinner bell…whatever)

Read all about my latest way to get dinner on the table, and if not eliminate the complaints about my cooking, at least give me a defensible position.

It’s in my exclusive blog at Health & Harmony, “On Balance”. Click here to read all about it. And check out their line of products for some last minute on-line shopping as well.

It’s a Wrap

Friday, November 28th, 2008

Or maybe I should say “It’s a warp” as in my very warped friend Helaine Becker and I just finished laying down about 90 hours of tape for our radio show pilot…which our lucky editor now has to get down to 24 minutes. Yes, our half hour has 24 minutes. We taped most of our stuff in the “Quirks and Quarks” studio which was probably fitting.

Working in the hallowed halls of the CBC Building for a week has been an interesting experience – met some great people and saw some interesting demo’s in the atrium for upcoming “Dragon’s Den” episodes.

My kids will be glad to have me back in work-from-home mode next week. No, not because they miss jumping off the school bus and leaping into my loving arms, or sitting quietly doing homework and sharing quality bonding moments with me.

None of that.

It’s because I’ll finally be making a meal OUTSIDE of my crock pot.

LOVE that thing. Maybe that’s the NEXT show.
