I'm not sure when I first heard about these salt water float baths but I was intrigued by the whole experience. Cloud 9 Float Spa was advertising this new way to relax (new to me at least) but the distance is what prevented me from making an appointment as they were located in Abbotsford. Fast fo…

Bye Bye Credit Card
After several failed attempts to use my debit card that was looking a bit worse for wear, I decided to stop in at the bank to get it replaced. Instead of the usual debit card, I was handed a shiny one of these:
At first sight I said, "Oh no, I do not want another credit card!" and I was as…

I was always happy with the cut and in 2008, I decided …

I made t…

- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 ta…
