With all the disgust in the world right now – especially you-know-where (and I will refrain from adding more, as it will be polarizing), can we talk about the holidays? And even if one thinks it’s “too early,” it IS after Halloween, and in my books, it’s okay. While I’m not big on chain coffee […]
As a child, I wanted a “proper” Christmas, which we never really had. Sure, we put up a tree and I attended Catholic and Anglican schools, but I’m not sure if not celebrating the holiday the way one sees it in movies and books is because my parents are from Hong Kong or because December […]
DelectablyChic! is giving away two pairs of tickets to the One of a Kind Show, which runs at the EnerCare Centre (formerly Direct Energy Centre) from November 26 until December 6. The holiday edition of the One of a Kind Show is an amazing place to pick up unique gifts for friends and family as […]
My husband and I have a tradition each holiday weekend. We have brunch at one particular restaurant. It’s not exactly a fancy place – in fact, it’s a small chain of breakfast joints called Eggspectation. And with the exception of the few months the Toronto location moved and was renovating its new spot, we’ve been […]

It’s October 2, which means that Thanksgiving (in Canada) is just under two weeks away. In the past, I’ve experimented with baking my own soda bread (somewhat of a disaster – tried to make it in muffin cups only to have them stick to the cups!), made quinoa stuffing (delicious) and this year, I will […]
I don’t typically share personal dinner photos that take place in my home, but I thought I’d show readers what I made over the long weekend. My husband is a non-observant Jew and I’m a lapsed Catholic who was educated in an Anglican girls’ school (I guess I’m an unofficial lapsed Anglican). However, despite not […]
