Danny Wallace’s Cup of Tea

Tuesday, September 30, 2008

Dear Danny,
I just wanted to send you a note to tell you that I was thinking about you.
I’ve got the kettle on and it happens that way. Whenever I go to make my second cup of tea (especially on a cloudy day), I think of your “another cup of tea and biscuits” moments from Yes [...]

The Bad Wife

Saturday, March 15, 2008

That’s Me… The bad wife, the bad influence. The pancake and pale ale pusher. This photo (at right) illustrates the crazed result.
My hubby has been trying to slim down and he’s been doing a great job of it, despite my existence. Perhaps you’ve read the blog he shares with my brother, Loser In Laws, or [...]

Or… How To Make Dinner ala Costco

One of the side effects of living overseas for three years is that you get out of the all-American habit of buying food in BULK.
Large supermarkets are not as rare over there as they once were, but Europeans still tend to shop for the day, picking up ingredients for [...]

90 Minutes from Door to Balloon

Thursday, December 6, 2007

Tis the Season to Keel Over…. Fa la la la luh.
I’ll probably die of a massive coronary for writing this, but it’s a sad state of affairs — on the health, diet and media accounts — when we are to the point of worrying about aggravating our clogged arteries around the holiday season.
My [...]

Or… Moving to the Beat of My Own Green Drummer
Nothing gives you a good ol’ kick in the tush like hanging around with people who are really making things happen.
At Green Drinks last night, I met more than a few people who are busy living a green life: they own an organic food business, publish [...]

Take the Pineapple from the Bowl!

Friday, November 2, 2007

Or… Mama Earth’s First Indication We’re Overstaying Our Welcome

I’ve brought you all here today, in the witness of this pineapple turkey, to tell you about the legend of the pineapple.
Once people went to visit a wealthy home and they were greeted warmly. They knew the hosts were glad to see them because on the table [...]

Drowning in Yogurt Cups

Tuesday, October 16, 2007

Re: Recycling Yogurt Cups!!!

Dear Dannon Yogurt,
Recently scientists invented a device called the “laser.” It is very handy for correcting vision, cutting things, attaching to the heads of irritated seabass for military purposes. Scientists are smart and can come up with creative ways of fixing problems all the time.
I was wondering, since 2005, when your science [...]

Ben’s Thai London… Now Dang!

Sunday, April 22, 2007

For those still looking for Maida Vale’s favourite Thai restaurant, Ben’s Thai, formerly of the Warrington Hotel, don’t worry, it hasn’t gone far.
Under the new name, Dang at Ben’s Thai, Dang and her clan have moved above another pub, the Robert Browning, on Clifton Road. This gritty old man’s boozer, situated on a properly posh [...]

This Bud’s for You

Tuesday, February 20, 2007

There are lots of good reasons to love guys… My husband is SUCH a guy.
He and I went to meet the OTHER Canadian Colin for coffee Sunday lunch-ish… I didn’t stay long as I had to go to work at the pub. “Well, guys, I’ll leave you to it,” I think were my parting [...]

The Big Surprise

Sunday, February 4, 2007

It’s my birthday week (yes… I do get a whole week. Why? What do you get?) so naturally friends have been gearing up for a month or so with plans, even though I told them not to (ha ha).

Actually, in light of the developments surrounding my dysfuntional body, I wasn’t feeling much up for any [...]

Karaoke King

Sunday, November 12, 2006

Colin Phillips, Karaoke King.
K-Box, Cranbourne Mansions
Private Karaoke Room
The Berlin Room!
Leiceister Square
Saturday Night
Colin did Sinatra and ABBA proud, and sang along with gusto. Maybe it was the Tsingo Taos talking. Or the influence of our Chinese friends we were with. Or maybe Colin really IS the next American Idol.
Anyway, it just goes to show you: you [...]

Crazy Homies Mexican Dream…

Friday, August 18, 2006

Or, Eating Whacked Burros in a Basement

The lengths I will go to for tequila and salsa.
We threw a flat-warming for our friends (which meant we had to actually MOVE. I am still suffering dial-up for this.) The result was a very good restaurant recommendation, inspired by our featured drink.
The beverage de la casa? A homemade [...]

Fruitstock Juices Us

Tuesday, August 8, 2006

Colin and I were lured by the people streaming through Regent’s Park. I told Frances “it looked like the Trail of Tears, with strollers and picnics.” Colin and I were heading home, from a missed attempt at the Marylebone Farmer’s Market when we stumbled on this.

The thing I really like about Innocent Juices product is [...]

Crikey! Cricket!

Tuesday, July 18, 2006

Just when I thought it MIGHT be safe to go to work at the pub again.
Nawp. Sure every other pub in town is sighing with relief at the death of England in the World Cup, but not in this neighborhood. Things are just getting HOT here, and when I say HOT, we aren’t joking.
I took [...]
