So I started a blog…

I’m writing this blog because honestly , and to be very straightforward from the get, I don’t know what the fuck is going on.

Now, I don’t mean on the day to day. As time passes, I’ve been reflecting on the past few years / past year. Each and every time I’ve done some crazy shit. I’m 29 now and all my life I have felt like I should have it ALL together by now.

That doesn’t mean I haven’t accomplished or experienced so much of life in the past few years. I definitely have. I’ve done everything to get my adrenaline going . I’ve gone skydiving, white water rafting, got electrocuted , cliff jumped, basically anything classified as “nuts”. I’ve moved across the country 3 times in the past 5 years. I’ve competed in body building competitions, I’ve opened my own business, I’ve had a baby. But now, now I am stuck. I could stop doing this “crazy shit” and go to being a normal, everyday routine person. But that doesn’t sound fun now does it? Life progresses in such a weird way. I’ve lived my life under high stress for so many years I don’t think I even know how to commit to a normal life. I think I’ve started this blog because through it all I’ve been fucking lonely. Most of my friendships are short term. Most of my experiences are as well. And I think many people feel lonely or lost and they just keep it inside for most of their lives. I think maybe if I understood that everyone has felt this way at some point, or feels this way now, maybe just maybe I’d feel not so lost. If I can help one person realize they are not absolutely bat shit – or maybe we are and that’s okay- I could help someone not feel the way I do.

Better than Poutine

I know, what could be better that a steaming plate of fries, gravy and cheese curd? Fries, gravy, cheese curd and bacon, that’s what! Throw in some fresh shallots, chilli, and a splash of roasted bone marrow and duck gravy, and we turn this popular French-Canadian dish into a something sublime.

Breakfast at my House

During the week we’re often walking out the door with a coffee in one hand and slice of toast in the other, but on weekends breakfast is never rushed. It’s a late affair, sometimes spilling over to lunch, with lots of reading and chatter in between courses of fruits, poached eggs, honey and toast. One of our favorite things we like to serve when friends are visiting are buckwheat blueberry pancakes.

Roasted Pumpkin Soup

There’s nothing better than a warm bowl of pumpkin soup on a cold autumn day. Combine your roasted pumpkin with some onion, garlic, vegetable broth, and a few spices, and give it some time to simmer away. Pair it with a few slices of fresh bread to turn it into something sublime.
