Father’s Day

Posted on June 17, 2019 by

It should come as no surprise that Today’s Perfect Moment comes from Father’s day. Most of the clan gathered at my father’s house, hopefully having already done the festivities with their own kids. My younger sister made chicken paprikash (I … Continue reading →

When One Receives a Lunch

Posted on June 13, 2019 by

I don’t know whether it is a universal truth, but I tend to think food made by other people–and I am not talking about restaurants, though it is sometimes the case, but also sometimes not–tastes better than food you make … Continue reading →

A Very Full Weekend

Posted on May 20, 2019 by

It’s a holiday here in Canada–Victoria Day or May 2-4.  Like most Canadians I am not particularly royalist–at times I have been a pessimist, optimist, conversationalist, and even a drunken shower singing vocalist–but not particularly royalist.  I do, however, enjoy … Continue reading →

Posted on May 15, 2019 by

After sitting down at our table, the waitress mentioned that they had an all-you-can-eat taco special. I didn’t need too much time for deliberation.  I was sold. Despite that great opening, Today’s Perfect Moment is not about the tacos. They … Continue reading →

Mother’s Day at the Ballpark

Posted on May 13, 2019 by

In case you didn’t know, where I live, Sunday was Mother’s Day. Having taught people from all over the world, I know that the second Sunday of May isn’t Mother’s Day everywhere–though I wonder why we weren’t able to agree … Continue reading →

Korean Dinner

Posted on May 11, 2019 by

As you can see by the pictures, it looked delicious and I can faithfully report that indeed it was delicious. Maybe changing up the routine is a good thing. Friday’s Perfect Moment is about going out for food.  In a … Continue reading →

Attempting to Save my Afternoon

Posted on April 22, 2019 by

I really hoped that Today’s Perfect Moment would be the Toronto Maple Leafs advancing to the next round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. I even took pictures to that effect.  Sadly, it will have to wait until Tuesday. If that … Continue reading →

The Easter Incident

Posted on April 21, 2019 by

I got to celebrate Easter and experience an exhilarating moment of sheer panic at the same time. It would be hard to call it Today’s Perfect Moment, but my nephews insisted that I write about it.  What kind of uncle … Continue reading →

Baby Steps

Posted on April 13, 2019 by

When Shopping At A Japanese Grocery Store

Posted on April 8, 2019 by

Once, a long time ago, I watched a Japanese TV program that was waxing nostalgic about Japanese summer treats.  One of the things they mentioned was Monaka.  If I remember correctly, the program was not really talking about the Monaka … Continue reading →
