Housewife Bliss- January, a Time to Detox
Mark Twain once said, ” Yesterday, everybody smoked his last cigar, took his last drink and swore his last oath. Today, we are a pious and exemplary community.” Looking around my office, after a brief hiatus between Christmas and the New Year, his words echo loudly in my mind. Like many of us, I spent

The Book Lady's Blog - A Zombie Novel???
If you’d told me a year ago that not only would I be reading a zombie novel, I would be loving it, co-hosting a book club podcast about it, AND interviewing the author, I don’t think I’d have believed you.

Creative Culinary's Grapefruit, Lime & Maraschino Martini
The winter solstice this past year was December 21; when the sun reaches the most southerly declination. It marks the day of the year with the least hours of daylight; the official start of winter. Though we can certainly anticipate more winter weather in Colorado, for me the winter solstice also signals the beginning of the end; the days after this moment in time get longer every day and we can appreciate the advent of spring as the next season to celebrate; my personal favorite time of the year.

Blogging & Design in Israel - Rooms & Words.com
A Week With Design Bloggers in Israel!
When my friend told me about accidentally meeting Adi, a project manager in an organization bringing online taste-makers to Israel, I was curious but had very low expectations. When Adi contacted me and told me this time they’re arranging for a group of design bloggers to visit Israel as part as Kinetis’ Vibe Israel program, I thought it’s a great idea and promised to help. But only when I saw the list of bloggers I got really excited. They were Andrea Chin of Designboom, Amy Frearson from Dezeen, James Davidson of WeHeart, Jeff Hamada of Booooooom and Ben Faga, EIC of DeTnk. Yeah, I know.

Beef Stew with Gingerbread from The Dutchess Cooks
The DUTCHess is Hanneke Eerden from the Netherlands.  She bakes, cooks and grills and comes up with a different twist on all kinds of recipes.  Like this, for instance. 
Beef Stew with Gingerbread
How many recipes can one have for stew?? A lot! I’ve already posted about Boeuf Bourguignon and Root Beer Stew and oh don’t forget the Hot Pinto Beans Stew (although that wasn’t really a stew as in “stew” but when you read that post you’ll find out!).  And then there’s this recipe from today: it has something special, an unusual ingredient for some of you maybe: I’ve added gingerbread this time. It gives your stew a warm and new taste, plus it can be used as a thickener for the sauce.

The Case for Canada’s Sustainable Wine Industry - Sandra Oldfield
Meet @SandraOldfield - A classic car, news, art, antique, food, music, history & film junkie. She also happens to be a Canadian Wine Maker @TinhornCreek
For years I have been hearing wine writers and others say that unless Canadian wines are sold in the UK or the US we will never become a well-known industry.  Unless our wines are reviewed by the heavy hitters of the wine world (no need to name them here, just google World Wine Writers) then we will never amount to much of an industry.   I think this is true.  I also find myself saying…does it matter?

Home Made Advent Calendars - The Entertaining House
    Homemade Advent Calendars
My kids love and look forward to their advent calendars every year. I want to do something a little different this year and am toying with the idea of making my own. I love the idea of filling little boxes with inexpensive little goodies - chocolate coins, chapstick tubes, silly little nothings really,  but I also like the idea of creating an advent calender with fun Christmas related things to do - go on a Christmas lights drive, put on Christmas carols,  write letters to Santa, bake cookies... things of that nature, or maybe even create a little scavenger hunt. As usual I am looking for ideas that are simple and easy to create.
