If Yan Could Cook. . . The Great Puff Disaster. Leave a comment ». For some reason, I thought the best way to spend my birthday was to make a gazillion cream puffs. If you recall.

If Yan Could Cook. . . Leave a comment ». I am sometimes hesitant to go back to a restaurant where the first visit was especially magical. A good meal is a complex formula: was it really the food, or the pleasant, understated waiter? Was it because you were hungry or you’d had just the right amount of alcohol?

If Yan Could Cook. . . Leave a comment ». JP and I come up with any excuse we can to go to Markham, Ontario. He needs his license renewed. I want to visit a friend in Toronto. It’s his birthday. Markham has few virtues. Commercial parks are separated by huge stretches of empty sprawl and multi-lane roads and highways. There are few sidewalks and no pedestrians anywhere. The public transit is a confusing, expensive mess of overlapping regions and juristictions (are we in Toronto? Why do we go? They serve ...
