What’s for Dinner? California Sandwiches – Toronto
I’ve eaten at California Sandwiches for probably 30 years. My husband introduced the mom and pop restaurant to me back when we were dating and at that time we used to go to the original restaurant on Claremont Street in the Little Italy area of Toronto. Started in 1967, this family-owned restaurant chain started as… Continue reading What’s for Dinner? California Sandwiches – Toronto

Historic Fort York – Brought to Life Before my Eyes
I’m a bad Torontonian. That’s right. You heard me say it. I’ve lived in Toronto my entire life and I’ve never once visited Historic Fort York. Sure, I studied the history of Fort York in high school, and of course, I knew where it was located; I’ve probably driven by it on the highway about… Continue reading Historic Fort York – Brought to Life Before my Eyes

Travelling – It’s the Characters You Meet
One thing I love about travelling is the people you meet along the way. By meeting and interacting with people you learn a little more about their culture, language and customs.

Cross Off Number 1 on the Bucket List – Skydiving
Skydiving was number 1 on my bucket list. It’s a bit of a cliché; I admit it, but skydiving was something I promised myself I would do. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous. It’s illogical to voluntarily jump out of a plane trusting a complete stranger to 1) deploy the parachute and… Continue reading Cross Off Number 1 on the Bucket List – Skydiving
