One of my favourite things to do on the weekend is to drop into Tonina’s Italian Deli & Cafe in my old neighbourhood at 25th and Main Street. Depending on the time of day I might just be picking up supplies…

If you are looking for a tasty snack to pack in your lunch tomorrow, pick up some 80g cans of Callipo tuna. The fish is canned in olive oil, which makes for a much tastier snack than water-tinned tuna. I eat it…

It doesn’t happen always, but every summer my pals Owen, Clint and I try to get out to Sooke on Vancouver Island and go fishing for some salmon. Last week it all came together, and with wives and girlfriends…
