Well gang, it’s time for us to take another blog hiatus. As the taping and preparation for our new TV show begins, things are getting very, very busy and crazy and a little stressful, so we might not be posting for a while. However, if any brilliant insights pop into our heads…you know…the kinda stuff [...]

If you’re out and about, and happen to be passing a health food store, drop in and ask for a copy of one of my favourite magazines–Alive: Canada’s Natural Health Magazine. If you like the sort of healthy eating/natural nutrition tips and information that we write about in our blog, then you’ll really like the [...]

Here’s a photo of me and my new pals at the Hamilton Fire Department, posing for the cameras as we checked out their firehall for an episode of our new cooking show for the Food Network. Janet and I are taking on the firefighter’s famous three-alarm pork ‘n’ beef chili recipe in a heated competition [...]

If you’ve been reading our blogs faithfully since we started writing them back in March, you may have noticed that my sister enjoys poking fun at me about my inability to follow the speed limit while operating a motor vehicle. More specifically, she likes to make fun of my many speeding tickets that have resulted [...]

My oh my, what a wonderful day! I stopped at Starbucks on my way to work this morning, only to discover that my beloved Pumpkin Spice Latte is back on the menu! Yippee! Hooray! Oh, and if I sound extra perky today, I should be….I’ve just consumed more sugar than most kids would on Halloween [...]
More Than Meets the Eye

Yes, there seems to be more than meets the eye when it comes to grapefruit. Of course we know that just about every diet plan begins the day with half of one. At a mere 40 calories, it’s no wonder. But you’ll be tinkled pink to know that scientists have confirmed that there is, indeed, [...]
6 Ways NOT to Lose Weight

I stumbled across an article this morning that I thought you’d be interested in called “6 Ways Not to Lose Weight.” It was posted on a website called TheSoko.com, which I’ve never heard of before, but that looks pretty interesting… kinda like a health and lifestyle online magazine with daily features on various topics of [...]
Morning Calisthenics

In the spirit of Participaction, I thought I’d contribute a body-and-brain-baffling exercise to start your day off on the right foot.
Here’s what you do: While sitting at your desk, make clockwise circles with your right foot. (Go ahead. Your co-workers can’t see what you’re doing, and besides, they already thought you were kinda strange!) Now, [...]
Just When You Think Something’s Healthy…

I’ve been meaning to write about this for months, but kept forgetting about it. But after I ate a McDonalds Asian Salad (not to be confused with the Oriental Chicken Salad) near the Buffalo Airport on my trip back from NYC, I made a note to do a little research into my new favourite fast-food [...]
Quotable Quote
Posted by Janet on September 8th, 2006· → Read and Post Comments (1 Comment)
I came across a quote recently that really resonated with me. It went like this:
And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. (Anais Nin)
Powerful. It reminded me of the feelings that Greta and I had experienced when we [...]
