Now that it is getting closer to my marriage, I am starting to feel the pressure. It is amazing how much really goes into getting married. We originally thought we would be getting pictures of our wedding party somewhere close to home. However, recently while driving with a friend my fiancee was taken to a beautiful park called Rosetta Mclean. It is near the bluffs. He came home raving about this park and how beautiful it was. I have to say, I was not really impressed at the time. Finally, after much prodding we walked up there one weekend because we live fairly close. I was truly amazed!

Filming at Superior Restaurant just last week made us feel we were someplace special. Superior Restaurant is family-owned and has transformed over the course of that family's history since the 1940s, from its roots as a candy factory to its present incarnation as a fine dining establishment. Tom, the third-generation owner of the business, takes pride in being part of a long history of serving Toronto. Located right across from the Eaton Centre, there's no shortage of entertainment hotspots within walking distance.  Emphasizing fine ingredients and careful selection of fine wines, Tom insists that you won't find the same kind of quality within the vicinity.  For an excellent before-the-play meal, consider taking him/her to Superior Restaurant- for a superior experience!

Being the relationship advice columnist, I thought I would share something along those lines with you. I have always believed that Christmas and the holidays bring out the love and longing in all our lives. Well this Christmas seems to be bringing that message home in my family. Not only have I recently become closer to my mother...but I also got to see my nephew. I have not seen him since he was very little. Then recently while talking to my mom...she mentioned that my niece had come for a visit. She has not been around for many years either.

This weekend we went to visit my mother. I rarely see her due to certain circumstances. We have had a rocky relationship to say the least, but I still love her...she's my mother. My father is once again out of the picture which makes talking to her so much easier and nicer. I am hoping that this time she has the common sense to stay on her own. I was very surprised when I saw her this time. I know that she is getting older and that she is losing her strength and verve but I am really worried about her. My fiancee helped to emtpy some planters on her balcony.

Just came back from a great interview with Mary, a bartender who knows all, at the Fox and Fiddle. The upcoming episodes will air in the beginning of November and we've enough content for about 4 shows.

So, leave it to Mary to help you with your game as she airs in November, she's excited to give you some tips!

Yesterday was Thanksgiving Day. It is the norm to have holidays with my father-in-law because he is alone...however this year I thought I would invite my mother...who due to circumstances is alone as well. Unfortunately, she was not up to getting out. For some reason I was up early ...around 8:00a.m. Since I was making dinner this year, I had prepared some things the night before which I would highly recommend. I had peeled the potatoes and yams and put them in the fridge. We decided to go with a pre-stuffed turkey again this year...they are so much easier.

There is a new dating style emerging in Toronto. It is called Tasting Dating and takes speed dating to a more taste tantalizing level involving sixteen men and sixteen women. Singles gather for a complete meal at one of Toronto’s many eateries and move from table to table and single to single getting to know each other. If you are not immediately interested in the other person you at least have a conversation starter with the food says Meredith Hopper of Fastlife.ca.
