mbamamamusings — Fri, 17 May 2013 13:00:00 +0000

Bloggers: Why Your Site Wide Disclosure Is Really Not Enough

mbamamamusings — Thu, 16 May 2013 16:00:00 +0000

We were threatened with frost here the past couple of nights. The Gallant Goose went out and rescued this bunch of tulips from my eclectic bulb planting scheme. I don’t know what they are all called – I only know that they make me smile and brighten up my kitchen …

Extreme Front Yard Makeover

mbamamamusings — Mon, 13 May 2013 20:00:00 +0000

This is our front yard. Or at least it was a couple of weekends ago. The yard slopes down towards the sidewalk as well as facing the afternoon sun. Last summer’s drought-like conditions, coupled with our region’s watering restrictions and my general disdain for spending money watering the grass, meant …

About a month ago, I went to the first Food Bloggers of Canada Conference, held at Hockley Valley Resort in Orangeville, ON. You haven’t heard much about it here because, to be honest, I am having a hard time putting my thoughts into a balanced order. I have some differing …

I buy bacon in bulk here. True story. I buy it by the 10 lb. box, in fact. Don’t worry – we don’t actually cook up and eat the entire thing in one sitting. I portion it out and freeze it into slightly smaller amounts and use it as needed. …

Mexican Chocolate Icebox Cookies

mbamamamusings — Mon, 06 May 2013 20:00:00 +0000
