"Island," in the name of a New York City business, often attempts to evoke some faraway, warmer, land to the south. This bakery, on the other hand, has been rooted to the western end of its namesake island for more... Read more

We've seen a number of Canadian films tell the stories of Indigenous people and what they have suffered at the hands of the government. The stories don't get easier to hear. Trouble in the Garden stands out as an exceptionally told story that is entertaining, thoughtful, and informative. We meet Pippa (Cara Gee), a Indigenous protester who is arrested as she tries to stop a real estate project being built on treaty land. Pippa gets bailed out by her estranged brother Colin (Jon Cor). Colin takes her to his family home, where Pippa is under house arrest. "It's just for a week." There is clearly tension between the siblings. Alice (Kelly Van der Burg), Pippa's very pregnant sister-in-law, is surprised to see Pippa, saying they hadn't seen her since the wedding. Pippa points out that she now goes by Raven.

We arrive in the South of the Island by Fred Olsen ferry from Gran Canaria and walk over to the nearby town of Morro Jable – a strip of colourful houses built into a dry wadi not so long ago. A balmy breeze wafts through the alleys and we have some cortados and a cheese sandwich at one of the cafés. Arabic is spoken at the neighbouring tables and Morro Jable definitely has a North African vibe to it. Nothing in the desert landscape behind us would recommend this spot for a settlement, were it not for the broad white sand beach ... Read more

Our travel trailer is store in a secured lot that does not offer protection from the sun. One side of the travel trailer gets some protection, simply because there's a large structure next to it that blocks some sun. But... Read more

Antidote for noodle-soup indecision: getting all the toppings. Shown in the photos that follow: a fish ball, in biteaway view; the fighting fish of all dumplings; a wonton lit by a low afternoon sun; and the noodles themselves. The pork... Read more

In my kitchen, a snowy morning with buttermilk in the fridge adds up to one of two things: a big plate of pancakes or a big plate of waffles. I'm not sure if there is a better way to fritter... Read more

Ever look and see you have some apples that are going to go bad because they are not being eaten fast enough? Most of the time our apples all get eaten, but once in a while I see that they... Read more
