My inbox is filled with special menus from local restaurants that serve two purposes: 1. They … (6 comments)

Guess where I'm going tonite in the 'metropolis' of Gananoque?? I'm going to The Socialist Pig for a latte and there, Mark Sinnett, the author of The Border Guards will be reading from his book (and I hope to get an autographed copy too.) There is only 1 copy left in stock at Amazon and this is part of their review of same: "Set primarily in Kingston and the Thousand Islands area, a popular summertime playground that in winter becomes a treacherous and desolate locale seemingly populated primarily by spies, smugglers, and border patrols, The Border Guards features a colourful … (7 comments)

The liners are removable, which makes for faster drying times too. Angie Fodey, the owner of Naturally sMITTen, says, "I'm not being biased when I say that 'these are … (10 comments)

Gananoque, Ontario Back in August 2010, I wrote a post about my new favourite place in town, The Socialist Pig - a coffee shop extraordinaire!
