After calling Windsor home for the past three years, our last night in the city was bittersweet. We spent the day packing, and at night headed to Point Pelee, where we took about a dozen selfies, collected some pretty rocks, and watched two currents meet while the sun set in the distance. Everyone was happy….

Remembering Stella
My third and final year of school is slowly but surely coming to an end, and I’m reminded of how life is full of surprises – good and bad. I never imagined beginning my career in Toronto, and I never, ever imagined that Stella wouldn’t be around when I graduated. I don’t think I’ll ever…
Meat & Cheese
I love charcuterie boards because they are essentially a legitimate excuse to order several different things without looking like a glutton (I love tapas for the same reason – I could eat patatas bravas and octopus for days). So when I get to basically have three different versions of bacon on one board with a…
Cronuts x Windsor
Windsor has a unique way of doing things (driving, parking, spring – it’s currently snowing) and sometimes it’s a little questionable. But one thing I never ever question is its take on the “cronut”. Blak’s Bakery in Windsor literally takes a whole croissant, deep fries it and then douses it in a sweet orange glaze….
Dinner at Acapulco Delight
On Friday, we gave in to the giant Mexican food craving that we’d been having for weeks. Windsor has a few Mexican restaurants, but my favourite is Acapulco Delight. It doesn’t open until 7pm, so most people go there to fill their tummies at 3am, as they’re stumbling home from a night out at Level…
February Favourites
February is one of my favourite months. In a single month, we celebrate my mother’s birthday, a favourite’s birthday, our anniversary and Valentine’s Day. And on top of that, it’s peak parka and blanket scarf season. It’s a month of white hot chocolates and great food. What’s not to love? We celebrated our anniversary at…
Beaucoup on a Sunday
Stopping by Beaucoup Bakery & Café on a rainy Sunday has become somewhat of a routine for us, particularly after a morning at the Kits dog beach. We always plan on getting a couple things, but inevitably end up with a boxful of almond croissants, kouign amann and cheddar & green onion scones. Any self-control…
My girl, Stella
My life with Stella was short – just a little over six years – but it was the best six years I could have ever hoped for. She was small for her breed, but we quickly discovered that she had a big personality and lots of demands. As is typical of French Bulldogs, Stella was…
Rest in Peace, Stella
If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together, Keep me in your heart, I’ll stay there forever. – Winnie the Pooh October 10, 2009 – December 7, 2015
KFC’s Nashville Hot Chicken
We recently discovered that Windsor was one of the few test sites for KFC’s Nashville Hot Chicken (Kelowna, BC is the other Canadian test city). So we obviously had to try it. We were studying at a little coffee shop by the school, warm and cozy with our little pots of blueberry tea, but we…
Hi, December.
As predicted, November flew by, and suddenly it’s December 1st. While I’m not complaining that December is upon us, it would be nice if time could slow down just a little bit. Each day brings us closer to end of the school year, and I go back and forth between being ready to graduate for…
