Cooking for your family
12 December 2007 - 12:30pmOne of the many hurtles working parents face each day is what to serve their families for supper. Providing a nutritional meal can become a chore and almost an impossibility when it has to be done F-A-S-T! My kids are always hungry when they get home from school and boy, supper needs to be on the table but quick, or the grumpiness emerges. One of my speedy meals is the President's Choice thin crust pizza. It is ready in 8 minutes (yes!
The Return of Led Zeppelin
11 December 2007 - 4:17pmBy all accounts, the recent Led Zeppelin concert in the other London was a huge success. If you missed it, check out Mothership, a compilation of previously released songs from 1969-1979. If you are hungry for more Led Zeppelin, you may want to read Led Zeppelin: the origin of the species: how, why and where it all began by Alan Clayson. And for something completely different, try
My favourites
10 December 2007 - 8:38pmI wasn't sure what I was going to post here this time so I decided to keep it simple. I told myself just talk about some of my all time favourite books. Books that I think are amazing reads, can't put em' downers. Those sorts of books. No need for long reviews... just a list and my opinion. So here goes.

"Tis the Season...for Slow Cookers
5 December 2007 - 4:24pmThere is nothing better than coming home after a long day at work and having dinner all ready - those yummy smells greeting you when you walk in the door. Although the slow cooker is great any time of year, I find it is usually the fall or winter when it gets the most use. At this time of year, if you're lke me, you come home only to grab a quick dinner so that you can head back out christmas shopping or attend a school concert. Usually the speed of dinner reflects the nutritional value.
Fun For Kids (and Parents too!)
4 December 2007 - 3:54pmI've been thinking a lot lately about that big hockey fight that happened recently at a tournament in Guelph. You may have heard about it. Two teams of eight year old boys playing. A brawl ensues on the ice, followed by a second one in the stands, as parents of the two teams started throwing around both insults and punches. This is wrong in so many ways it's difficult to list them all. First and foremost, a situation like this undermines the very nature of why kids play hockey (or for that matter, any other organized sport).

Audio books, will travel
3 December 2007 - 6:38pmTravelling is yet another thing many families do during the holiday season and there is nothing more annoying than the radio fading in and out as your travel any great distance. Or worse, finding the 'right' station that will please everyone in the car!
Celebrate the Thames Update - Nov. 7, 2007
3 December 2007 - 3:37pmIt’s been over a month now since many of us gathered together at the Landon Library to share ideas and enthusiasm about the Thames River Project.
As a reminder for those unable to join us that day, the purpose of our forum was to discuss the range of possibilities for a city-wide celebration of the Thames in 2008.
We propose to build a calendar of multidisciplinary events, activities and exhibits that will focus the community’s attention on the importance of the Thames River to Londoners. The celebration will run from March to June, 2008.
