What are your traditions? When I was little, my (late maternal) grandmother would light candles with me. I have NO CLUE where that came from. She told me it was a “tradition” but I don’t know anyone who does it. Maybe it was something she invented, but it wasn’t something I ever asked her. It’s […]
People who know me know that I prefer lighter desserts. With Passover and Easter next week, and both holidays associated with big meals, why not try something lighter?

Meghna Lamore Ah, the wonders of holiday entertaining. The family, the friends. The sparkly decorations, the tree ornaments. The endless lists, the stress. Most of us host some sort of holiday gathering, whether it be a full-blown party on a single date rescued from everyone’s calendars or a family celebration four days long. Regardless of […]
Despite technical difficulties (had a bit of trouble with the set right before the wedding scene. The show was stopped for five minutes) at Thursday’s production, the 25th Anniversary production of Les Miserables was absolutely amazing. The entire musical has been restaged, and even has some costume changes (take for example, Cosette’s costume, which is dark blue/black […]
After a five year absence, Aveda has made its triumphant return to the Bloor-Yorkville area.
