Toronto is well-known for its Pride Parade. We have the biggest LBGT Pride Parade in the world. Which is why it is the perfect city to start pushing a whole new kind of pride: Veggie Pride. Today the second-annual Veggie Pride Parade was held in downtown Toronto. The parade ends with everyone chowing down… so … Continue reading
You’ve probably guessed that the HHH is on the girly side of the vanity spectrum. You are more right than you know. I am a hair-product-loving, shoe-obsessed, only-dress-or-skirt wearing lover of all things perfume-y and prettifying. I nailed the animal-free food thing a long time ago with little or no effort, and it was easy … Continue reading
The HHH is currently surrounded by moving boxes. Moving day is Friday. I am doing everything I can to delay packing up my kitchen. Makes me feel like I’m at the mercy of restaurants or the ‘microwaveable’ section of the grocery store. Totally worth the week of poor eating though, because the view from my new … Continue reading
My true geekiness had to come out eventually. I could only shield you from it for so long. At least I’m pairing this geek-fest with a truly delicious recipe for grown-up cookies… that helps, right?

I am currently paying off a crap-load of student debt, so I’ll be dealing with landlords, frequent moves and the practically annual apartment hunt for at least another few years. Might as well embrace it. We saw an apartment today that has us in … Continue reading
Two holidays on the same day that both remind me of the women in my family. Mardi Gras, or Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Tuesday to 8 year old HHH), is the one day of the year we can all count on breakfast for dinner, and in my family it was a (not figurative) money-filled breakfast. My … Continue reading
Some people collect stamps, other people collect shoes… I collect awesome girlfriends. (Ok, so I collect shoes too.) The point is, I have the best girlfriends in the world, and because I chose so well (if I do say so myself) some of them have been in my life since I was four. I’m lucky … Continue reading
This post marks the final chapter in my Veguary story. I hope those of you who chose to be a reductarian, vegetarian or vegan for the cold, dark month of February feel a sense of accomplishment on this last day. I participated in Veguary by promising to blog every day this month and I held … Continue reading
