UBER: If you click it, they will come….

For the past few months, in lieu of taxis, my Man and I have been grabbing UBER cars whenever we hit the town. UBER is a San Fran-based service that has spread its wheels to Toronto and beyond. And it’s fabulous. Basically, you download the app, or register with their website. Then, anytime you need […]

Haymishe Bakery

I am a huge fan of Haymishe Bakery. And I am devastated by this: d Last Sunday morning saw Bracha’s bakery going up in smoke. The flatbreads. The dips. The flatbreads. The salads. The gluten-free goodness. Did I mention the flatbreads?? I’ve been known to travel with them. And for them. To bring them as […]

Clean Machine

Earlier this fall, a friend approached me about joining her in a group cleanse with Dr. Jodi Larry. Yes, another cleanse. The difference with this one was, unlike Isagenix or the various juice cleanses out there, it was an eating cleanse. My initial response was absolutely not! I didn’t like groups.

POMTASTIC GADGET

Every once in a while, I stumble across a random thingamajig. A gadget. A tool of some kind. Usually for my kitchen. And, more often than not, I’ll use it once – collapsible salad spinner, anyone? – and then store it. Yesterday, however, I found something so awesome, so seemingly simple, so potentially genius (but […]

TA TA TIFF 2012

I’ve been a little lax this year with my Green Room/TIFF coverage. It happens. But all is not lost, despite the fest finishing tonight. Here are a few more tidbits to get you though to TV season…. THE COMPANY YOU KEEP. Mr. Redford came to town for this one and, unlike last year, he was […]

TIFF 2012: LATE FROM THE GREEN ROOM

It’s taken me several days to get a handle on TIFF this year. Between back to school hectic-ness and life in general, I’m afraid TIFF has had to take a back seat for MOAM! But fear not, loyal readers, I still have updates for you!

Mmmmmm….MIAMI!

Aaaahhhh, Miami…. America’s Riviera. Playground for the rich & famous. Southern home for Canadian Snowbirds. And some damn fine food. Everybody’s got their go-to’s in Miami.

TIFF 2011: LIVE FROM THE GREEN ROOM IT’S TUESDAY

The men have left the building. But the boys are still here. With Kyle MacLachlan. Nat Wolff (the guy in the middle) is adorable as the young budding filmmaker in Bruce Beresford’s Peace, Love & Misunderstanding. (He’s also incredibly appealing: totally excited to be there. And brought his grandparents. Love that.) The flick’s about an […]
