Garlic Chili Oil Noodles

Week 5/52. Last week in the GTA was frigid. Actually frigid might be an understatement. Regardless, I was in need of a bowl of comfort. My first thought was soup but I didn’t have any of the ingredients at home and I was not going out in that cold. But I wanted something good, hearty …

New Year, New Brunch

On any given day (read: weekday), AK and I typically do not eat breakfast. We usually start our days with water and coffee; while heading to the office (read: the other room) for work. Having our fair share of hydration, we introduce solid food into our systems at lunch; which is typically something super quick, …
