I am of the opinion that not matter where you live in the world renting has the potential to be a serious pain. As a renter, you put a decent amount of trust in the real estate agents and property owners to be honest and to a certain degree reliable. I have rarely found [...]
Though I was hopeful for this recipe, I was equally surprised at how well it all came together. I have wanted to make or at least have spinach and feta pies for many weeks now. It has been a pregnancy craving that is not easily resolved where we live. Especially because we do not [...]
Ravioli are delicious and easy enough to make. It just takes a bit of time. It is so worth it, once you are done, trust me. Plus you can make extra to freeze for another day. If adequately sealed, they can last in the freezer for about 2 to 3 months. From that perspective [...]

Each year we have found ourselves getting closer and closer to our dream of being 80% self-sustainable and supporting local producers. Though where we stay is a magical place we cannot keep livestock and [...]
Where to begin... I suppose the best way would be to start with who came into our lives first and work our way from there. Each of the cats in our home were all in search of their forever home, sweetly known as the Cats of Urban Yolk. The decision to take them on [...]
I know one thing the love of my life will never get sick of and that is udon noodles, particularly udon noodle soup. I have come to enjoy this dish immensely as well. For this reason, we keep a stockpile of udon noodles and all kinds of noodles. I also endeavour to learn and [...]
