Stuffy's (CLOSED)

A Food Bloggers Summit On December 14, 2011, I got together with four other food bloggers to take on the Kookamonga Challenge at Kooky Canuck . The challenge is "unofficial" because it is limited to one person. Still, I was up for it along with the other participa…

A Memorable Experience For my birthday, a couple of former college classmates treated me to Lavoro's, a family-owned Italian trattoria housed in a former KFC restaurant. It wasn't a place that was on my radar, although I have driven past it a lot while driving ar ou…
