I am constantly amazed by individuals who are quick to call out the ineptitude and wrongdoing of others, especially politicians, yet will excuse, defend or simply ignore incompetence and misconduct when it's "their guy".  I mean, I have nothing but sympathy for the partisan hacks who can only view right and wrong through the myopic…

The look on Suji's face this afternoon when someone on facebook reported that she had crossed the rainbow bridge.  She was, of course, immediately worried about how this would affect tonight's dinner schedule. Pug got your tongue! She's wondering what you're thinking. Such swagger. Hoping for another snack.

I've been remiss in uploading photos of late, so I'm making up said lengthy omission with this photo-tastic entry... The recent haul from Akemi's patio garden.  Not pictured: tomatoes, chives, and zucchini. Akemi came across an old cookbook and became inspired to try out some new (old) recipes.  A killer tiramisu that I topped with…

https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1431267332064743434 Today, I made the trek down to Toronto's Parkdale district so that I could check out Dave's Hot Chicken along with fellow fried chicken aficionado (and writer-producer) Alex Levine.   The menu is fairly straightforward: chicken tenders or sliders (OR a one of each!), fries, slaw, fountain drinks and milkshakes.  But there's a little…

Had a great time chatting with Brad Wright today on his Companion podcast, chatting about the good old days on Stargate.  We discussed favorite episodes, writers' room dynamics, and the latest on that fourth Stargate series.  Will let you know when it drops. And, since we're on the topic, check out the cool concept art…

https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1430254932888887299 No doubt here.  Tomorrow, I'll be running down the Top 3 cheese-inspired dog names in the categories of Hard Cheeses, Semi Hard Cheeses, Semi Soft Cheeses, and Soft Cheeses. I am endlessly amazed by this business, the way certain projects disappear, sometimes for weeks or months from my radar, occasionally forever, while others pop…

Well, this is exciting.  Later this week, I'll be joining Brad Wright on his The Companion podcast for a trip down Stargate memory lane. What long-buried remembrances will be unearthed?  What forgotten secrets revealed?  Got a question for either of us, head on over to the link and leave us a message... https://twitter.com/bradtravelers/status/1429929031743549441 Whew.  Busy…

Tongue twister. Part of the Flower Hat Collection. Melty sleepy. People always assume that Suji is a pug mix but, in fact, she is pure pug.  Still, I wouldn't be surprised if one of those doggy DNA tests showed she was part koala.

https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1429125242841096197 I will watch the most popular responses so that I can offer up my own equal divisive opinion.  So let's hear 'em! It's hard to believe we're deep into August and fall is almost upon us.  We've regained a certain degree of normalcy here in Toronto, but I wonder how things will progress once…

So I'm finishing up the last of my podcasts for the foreseeable future before going on an extended hiatus, but I was glad to get this one in.  This one was a little different (and, frankly, a lot more fun) in that we chatted less about accomplishments and more about the frustrations and challenges of…

Last night, we went out for sushi for the first time in...oh...a year and a half.  It was an inside counter-sitting omakase service/  A first step towards, hopefully, heading back to Tokyo and revisiting some of our favorite sushi-yas.  Eventually. Some of last night's selection... Edomae Kiyomi I did the five sake sampler while Akemi…

I just received an automated call from Border Services informing me that they have seized an illegal package in my name and, as a result, an arrest warrant has been issued for yours truly.  I was given the option to "Press One to speak to a representative" but figured what was the point?  They've already…
