One of the things I've missed most since moving away from Toronto is truly tasty pizza. (In my not-so-humble-opinion, they just don't DO pizza here in the west... or bread). Our favorite pizzeria is Il Paesano Pizzeria which is located in a tiny strip mall at 396 Brownsline in Toronto's west end. The building's exterior gives no hint of the wonderful treats within, yet Il Paesano has been in … [Read more...]

Itinerary Change Frustrations with Air Canada

Although I'd heard a couple of reviews from friends that were less than enthusiastic and found the opening song just a touch off-key, overall I thought the production was fabulous.
