As you’ll surely have noticed, I have written a few posts about our visits to the local Food Basics grocery store here in Cornwall.  According to my counter statistics, my entries have brought visitors to my site who are actually looking to find out who owns Food Basics.  So, I did a little research and […]

Test Tube Aliens

I was at work the other day and got to talking to a customer about her child’s toy.  I can’t even remember now what it was, but the discussion then turned to another toy that the child has recently received as a gift.  It was an alien in a test tube, the mother told me.  […]

A budding vegetarian? Maybe not

My stepdaughter, who is 17, is a budding vegetarian.  I put it in that way because she says that she wants to become one but never really gets around to doing anything about it.  She’s never been particularly fond of meat and, I’m sure, could live without it easily.  But I don’t cook vegetarian, so […]

A ghastly trip to Food Basics

Today was grocery day and Hubby and I took the kids to Food Basics.  As Hubby was getting our daughter into her buggy/baby carriage, I took J, our 3-year old son, to the trolley drop-off shelter and lifted him into one. 
J was crying.  Not because he was being put into the front of a trolley […]

Day 3 of GFCF

We went shopping again today and spent another $30 on food for J.  We got more yoghurts, some gluten-free cereal and a few other items.  I tell ya, it’s an expensive diet to be on!
And it’s frustrating too because I can find non-dairy items and I can find gluten-free items, but try to find them […]

48 hours into GFCF diet…

We’re over 48 hours in!  
Our son had a toasted gluten-free bagel for breakfast, with jam instead of margarine, a banana and half of a non-dairy yoghurt.  For lunch, he had rice mixed with vegetables and soy sauce.  And for dinner, he had gluten-free pasta with a bolognese sauce and chopped cucumber.  In between, he’s had his […]

Gluten-Free, Casein-Free, and Autism

This all started with my seeing Jenny McCarthy on Oprah talking about her son.  She talked about his terrifying seizures and his steady decline into the non-communicative world of Autism.  Having a son myself who was recently diagnosed as being autistic, I watched avidly.  This condition is so new to me and I’m still seeking out any […]

The Tollgate Megacentre - Part 2

I was at work earlier today discussing with a colleague how I feel about the relocation of Wal-Mart to the corner of Brookedale and Tollgate.  As I mentioned in a previous entry, we’ve received flyers in our mailbox from citizens who objected to the “megacentre” being built there, and we even saw what can only […]

Maroon 5 - Better than ever

As usual, I’m a little late to catch on to things.  Particularly when it comes to music, I am rarely the one who discovers some up-and-coming new band and then turns all my friends on to them.  No, I’m usually the one who hears about the fabulous new music from someone else.  Ah well, sometimes […]
