Open Up And Om – #23 – Steven Csorba. Fuck Cancer.
November Project was my first exposure to Steven Csorba, and I only wish I’d known him sooner. As someone who always has a camera with me, I’m naturally drawn to those who like to view the world around them through a different lens. Yet, as the story of Steven unfolded in front of me,...

Open Up And Om – #21 – Aga Wajda-Plytta. The Ashwagandha Scramble.
Maybe it’s just the people I follow, but in the last year I’ve noticed a buzz about this local product of botanical powders on Instagram. It’s called Herbologie  and they are locally crafted botanical blends for life, inspired by the outdoors. During a recent event at the lulule...

Grainworks
With my regular wheat delivery no longer in check, I needed to find somewhere new to source my wheat berries. There are a handful of options, but the cost per lb is (in my opinion) ridiculous. So I was excited to stumble onto Grainworks, which is located in Southern Alberta. Process was easy enou...

Open Up And Om – #20 – Caren Hui. Sunshine and Coffee.
Caren is one of those people in the community that I’ve followed for a long time, but rarely ever find the time or opportunity to talk to. So it’s with a great deal of happiness that we were finally able to organize a podcast date to catch up. There is something inherently special abo...

Had my first meal at Pigeonhole while in Calgary this past week. It was a lovely experience from start to finish, with attentive staff and delicious food. I’m starting to wonder if there is any thing more you can ask for these days. The one real gem for me was the bread. That red fife ̷...
