Twas a Month Before Christmas at the @RBC_Canada #AvionVIP Lounge

November 30, 2015 By Food Retro

Twas a month before Christmas, and all through the house, No preparation was done yet – a reason to grouse. The stockings were still packed in the basement with care. And no shopping was yet done to the FoodRetro Grinch’s despair.

Help Me Benefit The Canaccord Genuity Great Camp Adventure Walk on September 26! #WalkForSickKids

August 28, 2015 By Food Retro

For those of you who have been readers for a while, you know I donate heavily towards food security for the needy. But I live in Hamilton, home to McMaster Children’s hospital, so helping sick kids also something I do a lot.  It’s a terrible fact of life that children get hurt or ill. We all…

Marvel Universe Live is a Blast! (Bring Ear Protection)

August 7, 2015 By Food Retro

Let me start out by saying I’m not too bright sometimes. I knew that there were going to be pyrotechnics and motorcycles in Marvel Universe Live. I brought ear protection for Monster Jam, cause monster trucks. Duh. Why it didn’t occur to me to bring ear protection for this, I’m not quite sure. As a…

In case you couldn’t tell by my penchant towards science and food, I’m weird. And you know what? I freaking LOVE being weird. Normal is boring.

The Adventures My Son Will Never Get to Have Like I Did #StreamTeam

The Adventures My Kid Will Never Get to Have | Netflix

I’m all about the retro films, introducing my son to the oldies-but-goodies. But there’s a double-edge to watching a bunch of the adventure movies I grew up with as a kid on Netflix, like The Goonies. And the cutting backside of that is that I’m faced with the incontrovertible truth that childhood isn’t like it used to…

Win Tickets to Marvel Universe Live at FirstOntario Centre in Hamilton, ON! #Hamont

July 15, 2015 By Food Retro

Win Tickets to Marvel Universe Live in Hamilton, Ontario!

There hasn’t been much in the way of live shows that appeals to my son. He’s still too young to introduce to proper live theatre (musical or otherwise), and he’s unfortunately full onto the boy phase where he’s too “cool” for anything remotely resembling classic Disney and Pixar. He ate, slept, and breathed Cars up until approximately…

Monster Jam – Not Just for the Boys

April 26, 2015 By Food Retro

What with my son being bullied over having a purple backpack earlier this week, I’m a little sensitive right now to issues of gender bias. I can’t believe we seem to have forgotten everything we’ve learned from the 1980s when everything we thought we knew about fashion, hair, and makeup was deconstructed, and both boys and…

Tips to Stay Warm Outside (When You Don’t Have a Car)

February 4, 2015 By Food Retro

We’re in the coldest part of the year here in Southern Ontario, and I’ve been feeling the chill lately. I’m without a vehicle, and kidlet’s bus stop is about a kilometer away. The school transportation system says it’s their policy that a six year old should walk up to a mile to reach their bus…
