I was absolutely delighted to learn that a rugby documentary was recently added to Netflix. Rugby is popular and is well-known around the world, but here in North America, I sometimes feel as though the sport is slept on a wee bit. It doesn’t garner the fans nor the attention that the NFL or NHL … More If you’re a rugby fan, you need to watch ‘Six Nations: Full Contact’
It truly blows my mind how many people I encounter that have lived in either the city of Brantford itself or Brant County for years that are not familiar with the Brantford International Villages festival. It’s been around for a while (since 1974, to be exact), and the Villages are something that is rather near … More If you haven’t heard of the Brantford International Villages festival, read this
To avoid losing anyone’s attention span, I will assert that today’s post will be the last discussion regarding the Colosseum for a while. Could I write more about this breathtaking historical site? Absolutely. But I don’t want to beat a dead horse, so to speak. Yesterday’s post detailed what the Colosseum is composed of, and … More Did you know this about the Colosseum?
Yesterday’s post about a rather unfortunate incident that recently occurred at the Colosseum in Rome, Italy, prompted me to consider how I haven’t actually dedicated a post to the history of this incredible monument. Sure, most people have heard of it, and many, like myself, have had the privilege of visiting the Colosseum, but I … More You know of the Colosseum, but do you know of its history?
I swear, just about every year I hear about an incident involving tourists defacing a historical monument. I would wager I’m not the only one who seems to hear about these things on an annual basis; it probably happens a hell of a lot more than I hear about. My sister recently informed me that … More Can we stop defacing historic monuments?
I will be entirely transparent and admit that I haven’t left Canada in approximately ten years. The last time I crossed the border, my mom and I flew to Puerto Rico for a family wedding, and it’s been a hot minute since I’ve dabbled in travelling following that excursion. But, prior to this tremendous gap … More Where is your favourite place to travel to?
For Christmas last year, my mom generously gifted me and Blaine an executive Costco membership to use once we are living in our home. Considering I eat as much as a rhinoceros, buying in bulk makes sense, so I was very happy to be gifted this. Blaine and I are (hopefully) going to be moving … More Run, don’t walk to get this dessert from Costco
Tiramisu, if you have not yet had the privilege of tasting it, is life-changing. That may sound dramatic, but I assure you it isn’t. Naturally an Italian dessert (hence why it’s so damn tasty), it consists of delectable layers of ladyfinger cookies which are soaked in coffee, along with a divine mixture of mascarpone cheese, … More Here’s how to make the best homemade tiramisu
Soil health is of utmost importance to farmers. Contaminated soil presents a multitude of problems both in terms of crop production and environmental sustainability, therefore maintaining soil health is an absolute must. So, what can be done to reverse soil contamination? Well, for a farmer in Italy, hemp has done the job. An article originally … More Using hemp to purify soil
I came across an article the other day by Global News titled “Vatican Launching New Exorcism Course As Demand for It Soars.” The article by Katie Dangerfield is quite interesting, and I wanted to discuss it here on my blog because it isn’t exactly a topic that enters news headlines often. The article explains how the … More A Need for Exorcists?
