Reflecting on a very magical weekend of music by way of 's 14th annual β€οΈβ¨πΆ Having host our songwriters night on Friday was absolutely incredible, and all in support of .
Much β€οΈ and thank you to Kreesha, , , , , , and for collectively creating the magic. β¨β¨π₯Ήπ₯Ή
The Canadian music scene is so, so, SO electric.these days....SO I'd encourage you to embrace it, if you haven't already πΆπ (And shame on ya if you haven't!)
I'm not too sure how I got so deep into the π¨π¦ music industry, but I'm happy I did because it's something worth cultivating, supporting and fighting for. π€
- Ricardo's Hideaway is closing this summer π It was (for all intents and purposes) The first contemporary tiki bar open in the Prairies back in 2016.
It shall be missed, but another fun fact is that National on 17th and Ricardo's actually used to be one big bar back in the day, Mercury.
Who remembers that spot? I definitely had more than a few bevies there back in the day! π΄πββοΈπΉ

Happy Pride Month! β¨π³οΈβπ When I tell you that I've been lucky enough to work with some of THE gayest AND THE most creative people over the years...and my life is all the better for it.
Being one of the only q***r cookbook authors/food writers in Canada and being one of the only q***r event programmers in the π¨π¦ country music scene is not something I take lightly. Especially these days...
I've been comfortable in my own skin ever since I can remember. I've never felt scared to be who I really am. So, the things I do, the events I put on, much of what I write, etc...have grown to focus on helping to create spaces where people can feel comfortable and welcomed. To be themselves. β€οΈπ
The world can so often feel like a dumpster fire these days, and I think you're either a person who is fanning the flames or you're a person that is helping put that fire out.
The people in my life only do the latter, and I sincerely hope that goes for you too.

- 3 facts in 1 today! π Ciabatta was created in Italy in 1982 with the specific goal of becoming the PERFECT bun for a sandwich. 44 years later 's new ciabatta sandwich lineup is a great example of that!
DYk Chopped Leaf opened in Kelowna in 2009? It was really the first Canadian fast-casual chain to focus on a menu of comfort foods made with natural ingredients. Wholesome, fast-casual eats for folks on-the-go (i.e. me as I am ALWAYS on the go). Respect! π€
