One of the toughest things about travelling is finding something healthy to eat at the airport. Since Janet and I were on QVC in the middle of the night last night and fell into bed at 3:15 am, only to get up again at 6:15, we didn’t have time to think about breakfast today. Once [...]

Que Se Raw, Se Raw

Well, we’ve been on the road for 11 days now doing our big stint on QVC, and I have to admit that I’m a little homesick. Even worse, I’m dog-sick. I desperately miss my beloved Jack Russell terrier, Lacey Lou. Actually, her full name (which would appear on her doggie driver license if she were [...]

Janet and I were having this really deep discussion the other day about the proper way to eat a banana. Things got quite heated as we both presented our opposing banana-eating strategies. I peel the entire banana first, throw away the peel, and hold the banana in my hand to eat it. Janet eats her [...]

Well, we’re fresh off the air at The Shopping Channel in Mississauga…Act now! Don’t delay! Call this 1-800#! What more could you ask for in a cookbook? Yada yada yada. This morning we were on air with one of our favourite hosts, Greta. Yes, another Greta! I already had my hands full with one! But [...]
We’re Back in Canada!

Well, we’re back in Canada, at least temporarily! This morning at 7 am we passed out 10,000 free copies of the June issue of Reader’s Digest at Union Station in downtown Toronto. Talk about chaos! People were ripping the magazine out of our hands—then they’d do a double-take and realize that it was us cover [...]
Cottage Country

When you’re livin’ life on the road, like we are these days, sometimes it’s hard to make healthy food choices. They don’t exactly serve the most nutritious meals in airports or hotels, and when you’re on the go, rushing from point A to point B, it’s pretty easy to “default” to high-fat, high-sugar snack foods. [...]
Keep Them Guessing With Oil of EFA

Your family doctor keeps bugging you to take cod liver oil to prevent colds and flu. The orthopedic specialist keeps telling you to bone up on salmon to ease your arthritis. The cardiologist has been carping on you to eat more fish to lower your cholesterol and prevent heart disease. Maybe you should take the [...]
Greetings from Malvern, Pennsylvania!

Well, just like Willie Nelson sang, Janet and I are “on the road again!” We have a one-month commitment to QVC to be “on call” for appearances to sell our new cookbook on their huge shopping network. We left last Friday and our schedule for the next 10 days is kinda crazy:
Today: on-air at 4 [...]
Top Nutritional Supplement #2

Do you drink coffee? Do you eat meat (including chicken chicken and fish)? How about sugar? C’mon, be honest! Surely you have the occasional chocolate bar, muffin, cookie or doughnut. Do you drink milk, eat cheese or yogurt? Do you drink alcohol, even moderately? Do you hate vegetables? Okay, okay. Hate’s a strong word. Will [...]
Time Flies Like an Arrow; Fruit Flies Like a Banana
Posted by Greta on May 18th, 2006· → Read and Post Comments (2 Comments)
A couple weeks ago I wrote about one of my favourite fruits, the banana, and how it irks me when people eat bananas when they’re green (when the bananas are green, not when people are green, in case you’re confused. See previous post: Why I Feel Sorry for Bananas). I promised that I’d do some [...]
