This month started with a trip to London, which I will write about soon, and was obviously the highlight of the month (and year!). We almost don’t need a separate recap for November, except for a couple special things (coughFRINGScough): Back in September, Drake surprised us all with the grand opening for a new restaurant......
It was actually a quiet month here on Planet Byn, which I needed after a busy September and an upcoming trip the first week of November. No new places to tell you about, but I did go to some of my faves: There was Bannock to celebrate my former co-worker’s last day before Maternity Leave......
Mindy Kaling has said on Twitter that September should really be considered a Summer month, and I couldn’t agree more. It was freaking hot this month, and there was no way I was busting out the pumpkin. Here’s what was happening in the last month of Summer: Nicole came over for dinner and I made......
I basically spent this month trying to catch all my favourite fresh summer fruits before they vanished for the season, but here’s what I was up to in the meantime: How is it possible that I had never been to Wvrst before this month? I’m not quite sure. I organized a farewell party for my......
After a low-key start to the summer, things really kicked into high gear over here. July felt long, hot and full of fun. Here’s what was happening on the foodie front: The Food Blogger Mafia descended on Taste of Toronto and unleashed a high degree of food snobbery all up in there. My favourite savoury dish......
In my almost two years of writing these monthly recaps, there has never been a more depressing foodie month on Planet Byn. Bad conference food, restaurant disappointments, and yes, even a trip to T.G.I.Friday’s all went down. Pair that with the lingering effects of bronchitis, and then a sore throat/viral infection, and let’s just say......
The first half of this month revolved around researching and prepping for a long weekend trip to Atlanta (which I’ll write more about soon) and the second half was all about the weddings of two of my close friends. Here’s what I was up to in between: First of all, my beloved co-worker who is......
It was a fun, busy month on Planet Byn (as evidenced by the fact that it’s actually May 26th and I’m finally writing this). I kicked off the month in Florida, so first a bit on that, and then a recap of what else was going on: First of all, why are there so many......
Still waiting for Spring over here, but there were a lot of fun foodie adventures this month to distract me from the weather: My month-long obsession, which is still continuing, is Take a Megabite’s Oatmeal cooked in Almond Milk. I usually just grab a packet of the no-name natural stuff (no flavouring, so sweetener) and......
I jinxed myself last month, talking about how I didn’t find January all that bad, because of course it all came crashing down in February. I was in major grumpy hibernation mode, but luckily had a quick trip to Las Vegas at the end of the month to look forward to: Nicole came over for......
