Made by MeghanSo I finally got a knitting project off the needles… Roger Socks by Anne Hansen for Michael. Â I’ve been feeling guilty because two sets of Michael’s handmade socks have recently (mysteriously!?) been felted in the dryer and his remaining pair has developed holes (as hand knit socks often do, especially when there are nails popping […]
As seen in SiftingRealities: Episode Three: ZOMBIE IN THE GARDEN (see post below for more info) Belinda, not knowing what to do with Annie once she has rescued her from the back yard, defaults to her comfort zone: baking, specifically, she bakes gingerbread cookies. Â Here is the recipe I (therefore she) uses: The dough (ready […]
This episode was my favourite on the page, a worry in the casting (boy, was I silly, because the cast additions: Eliza Faria, who plays Annie and Sebastian Kroon, who plays Courier/Zombie Stan totally rock), and took the longest to cut/tweak/colour but, through all that, I STILL think it is my all round favourite episode. […]
These are the cookies featured in SiftingRealities: Episode Two: GUN IN MY TOILET (more info can be  found in the previous post).  In the episode, Rich thinks Belinda is presenting the cookies as a peace offering of sorts, but ends up just stealing her plate of comfort food.  The macaroons in the episode are sans […]
Um, ya, so I made this… with a lot of help (please see the credits), but yes, this is the sort of thing that comes out of my brain… #2. GUN IN THE TOILET – Issue: Still attempting to maintain some normalcy within the chaos of her life, Belinda (CARMEN BENNETT) chats with Lise (LACI […]
In lieu of the 2nd Baking with the Director episode (which we decided to not shoot so we could launch episode 2 of SiftingRealities) here is the recipe for the cookies that are featured in episode one: MAN IN MY BED (more details in previous post). Â Of ALL the cookies I bake these are my […]
Belinda wakes to find a man (DAVE), who really shouldn’t be in her bed. Issue: Dave really believes he belongs in Belinda’s (or is that Linda’s?) bed. Cookies: CHOCOLATE CHIP PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
At the beginning of March, we treated ourselves to a trip to the Wick Inn in Tofino for Michael’s birthday and, there, Sunday morning, I indulged in a fresh baked croissant with house made strawberry jam. SO GOOD! Now, I can’t actually digest white flour, so this was a huge, but tasty, risk for me […]
This is the first episode of Baking with the Director the companion series to SiftingRealities (my web series) and my YouTube debut.
My sister, Heather, requested the following cake for her birthday this past weekend: strawberries with a light chocolate cake and no icing. I quickly informed her that cake WAS heavy and that I couldn’t possibly make a cake without icing, but I could try a glaze instead of some crazy thick cream cheese icing (which […]
