I made trout with root veggies and kale recently. I was tired, didn’t feel like doing much and had these seasonal options in my fridge. I started by quickly scrubbing the beets, parsnip and carrots. I was too lazy to peel their skin and I’ve often heard that much of the vitamins found in such [...]

I watched Last Train Home last night, a feature length documentary by Lixin Fan that was produced by Eye Steel Film. I had received positive feedback about the film and was interested in its subject matter; that of the vast migration that takes place in China for the new year’s festivities. The film states that [...]

Happy Monday everyone, It is shockingly cold in Montreal right now, around -25 I believe, and I’ve just gotten home after the satisfying first day of my new internship, which is taking place at EyeSteelFilm. On my way home, I bought some humus, tabouleh and falafels from Mets Hanokbah, a local food company that sells [...]

It’s Friday morning. I’m under the weather and tired of working every night until late. I’ve also spent so much time in front of the computer, loading and editing pictures recently, that I’m feeling in need of a little shock to my system. I took pictures of people playing hockey outside in the cold yesterday [...]

This is going to be a quick one. I got to go take advantage of the sun before going to work. I just made a quick lunch with things that I had in my fridge. There wasn’t much so I had to improvise. The result was very good, not to mention extremely cheap and easy [...]

Happy Monday morning to everybody, I had a nice weekend. Quiet. Relaxing. I was replaced at work last night, which makes the following week that much “less brutal.” On Saturday night, my wife and I were invited to a friend’s house for some homemade Japanese fondue. It was a dark and snowy day in Montreal [...]
