There is not enough coffee today. Not nearly enough.

Hey #Vancouver Planning an event or just a night by the fire? Looking for a custom creation for the perfect Galentines, or Valentine’s night in? Boards of Vancouver is here to deliver deliciousness! Order online at boardsofvancouver.ca or message me here!

When everything feels quite scary and stressful so you mentally retreat, remembering rest is an act of resistance, and curl up with your dog, a maple syrup-spiked hot chocolate & a Maeve Binchy (literally the most comforting books in the world.)

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

I’m not a f/t journalist anymore but I still give a shit about the correct use of words. Language is very important: it’s not an Elon Musk salute, it’s a Nazi salute. Let’s call a far right fuckhead, a far right fuckhead.

Fuck yeah, Teen Vogue!

I bought a new shirt.

There are currently 218 Republicans and 215 Democrats in the House. The next election is November 2026. If Dems take back the House, they will essentially make Trump a lame duck for the rest of his term. Just sayin.’

Can’t. Stop. Laughing.

V happy with this grazing board for 12. Someone’s having a delightful birthday lunch right now! Sadly, my only order this week. January is HARD! I’m delivering all next weekend in Vancouver so… treat yourself! Order online or message me for a custom creation. boardsofvancouver.ca

So obsessed with an evening sweet treat of ricotta, a drizzle of maple syrup and sprinkle of smoked salt right now. Try it!

Anyone in #Vancouver fancy getting together to hang out in a nice licensed coffee shop one afternoon/early evening to do some #crafting? I used to craft with friends in the Similkameen. Would be nice to hang out, maybe meet new people & admire their projects while I work on my #crochet

Real talk. Starting a small business is hard. January is absolutely brutal. If you want to treat yourself (or someone you love!) and at the same time absolutely make my day, you know what to do. I deliver in #Vancouver and am very available for your orders this month. Order online or message me.

Here for this level of self-care.

Slay, queen.

Fuck everyone who voted for this.

Having an All The News is Crushing Me break. Have made my teenage self’s comfort food: jacket potato & cauliflower cheese. Deeply restorative.

Fuck her.

100% this. A NY Mag subscription right now is 60% off. It's $1 for four weeks. Doing a piece like the Gaiman article takes an intense amount of time from a ton of people, and only with financial support can investigations like this continue to happen.

Continuing my Schitt’s Creek research: peeved once more that Johnny and Moira get called Mr and Mrs Rose by Patrick, Twyla and Stevie. Why aren’t they on first name terms?!

First grazing table of the year done. I am so very available for bookings…

(Re)Watching Schitt’s Creek (again) Patrick coming out. Weeping copiously. My heart is too full for this.

There’s my one order for the week…

Hey Bluesky folks. January is tough. Just one order for my business this week. If you wanted to treat yourself, or someone you love, why not make my day and order up some delicious #cheese and #charcuterie. I deliver in #Vancouver! boardsofvancouver.ca order online or DM me for a custom creation.

You fucking cowards

I feel like I recall Mark Carney doing a regular funny chatty slot on @bbcradio4 PM with Eddie Mair. Did I make this up!?

Finally got my ass to #CowDog and got the strawberry matcha. Absolutely gorgeous. Jammy. Grassy. Silky. Sooooo good. #Vancouver

Well, hummus friends. First try definitely needs some work. @anyaspethmann.bsky.social said to ‘cook the bejesus’ out of em. I did! They dissolved mostly into mush. But!! The few that were left I followed everyone’s advice and have made about 1/3 cup of amazing hummus!

I have never made from-scratch hummus with dried chickpeas before. Only tinned. So: advice please! My chickpeas are soaking in water with bicarbonate of soda overnight. How do I make em into the silkiest, most delicious hummus ever, please?

Yup. I was right. Sounds like they’re all doing what we did. Very natural reaction to seeing flames licking the borders of your home when you’re under an evacuation order: turn hoses on. But… that drains necessary fire-fighting resources.

Day 4. Fuck this fucking shit. But after this I am caught up.

When my village was on evacuation alert and fire was raging all around, we all left garden sprinklers etc on & had hoses on the roofs. Fire service turned em all off as we were draining the lake. Bet anything that’s what’s happened. It’s such a terrible situation. Been there. Heart goes out to em.

So now #Meta have come out fully as hate mongers, where do I, as an immigrant, go to maintain those loose bonds of connection?

Yet again, the French show the world how to live.

Of you don't want Christy clarke be the leader, join that party now so you can vote in 90 days.

Like many of my fellow writer/creative types, I am absolutely fucking horrible at accounts. It doesn’t help having crushing dyscalculia, so just entering numbers accurately on a spreadsheet is a major challenge. Have been doing NUMBERS all day. It’s almost 5pm and I’m done. I hate this part :(

It’s not like that shrieking asshole has the slightest sense of what ‘American interests’ are.

I do wonder how worried we should be here in Canada about Trump’s plans… I said weeks ago I didn’t think he was joking. That mad fuck is going to burn it all down :(

To celebrate their engagement…. I have never skipped this in my feed: enjoy!

Ever since I got smoked olive oil I have been obsessing over how great it would be drizzled on lasagne. Could not decide on meat or spinach & ricotta so I did a layer of each. It’s even better than I hoped…

Well. Today has been absolutely dreadful so far. So here’s a loaded gooey, grilled extra mature cheddar & chipotle mayo on whole grain sourdough, SLATHERED in butter to make me feel (temporarily) better.

Genuinely baffled. There is damage to my car that suggests I hit something quite hard. I have not done that. No accidents. No bumps. Nothing. What the fuck?

Well that’s a good start to the year. Problem with my car sensor is gonna either be about $500 or $2500. I’m not feeling especially lucky but suspect I’m about to get even poorer :(

I’m sorry? Nic Cage has a *check notes* crow who lives in a geodesic dome!? How high are the caption writers at this point? #GoldenGlobes

*Sees Adrian Brody’s wife* I bet she designs handbags. #GoldenGlobes 👜

How I hear Matlock. #GoldenGlobes m.youtube.com/watch?v=-Bm9...

I did not know Broad City’s Kirk Steele was behind Hacks. Amazing. #GoldenGlobes
