Droolpoop, the mayor of Montreal was ulcerating away. Thank goodness this little mess on Avenue du Parc happened after the closing of Expo 67. If only the citizens of Montreal would simply forget about politics and give him their support for his bread and circus projects. Was it really necessary to construct a sewage plantContinue reading ““Mutantism on the March” : Chapter 95 More Fallout from The Slaughter on Parc”

“Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog” :Reggie Goes to Hollywood!
I know that Bob is a writer just like Anwar my late master was. Little did I know he was writing a book about me Reggie! Who would be interested in a book about a cur like me? Bob thinks it is a children’s book. Fay laughs saying it is yet a nowhere and nothingContinue reading ““Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog” :Reggie Goes to Hollywood!”
RKS Wine: Penniless Pensioner’s Engagement Party: A Very Special Dessert Brought to the Guests from The Douro in Portugal!
After the oysters the guests are to retire to listen to an hour concert put on by the Toronto Medieval Consort with wine glasses a fill. For those who have not nodded off a grand dessert awaits that I personally advised Celine Serpent would be unique and rarely ever tried in Canada. I have usedContinue reading “RKS Wine: Penniless Pensioner’s Engagement Party: A Very Special Dessert Brought to the Guests from The Douro in Portugal!”
“Pray Away”: What Would Have Jesus Thought?
If you want an answer about the religious legitimacy of conversion therapy in the American Christian right you might get a taste of it in “Pray Away” a Netflix original documentary released this month on Netflix. Reparative or “conversion therapy” sprouted up in the 1970’s in right wing America as an attempt to convert theContinue reading ““Pray Away”: What Would Have Jesus Thought?”
“Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog” :Reggie Visits the Psychiatrist (A Children’s Story)
My enthusiasm and zest for life really has disappeared in these past few weeks. My thoughts have changed since the death of my dog friend Karim and after the dog attack by that mean German Shepherd Layloo. I am not very hungry. I sleep less and the quality is poor. I am not excited aboutContinue reading ““Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog” :Reggie Visits the Psychiatrist (A Children’s Story)”
RKS Wine: The Penniless Pensioner’s Engagement Party: Last Course Before the Entertainment: What to Serve With Oysters?
Celine Serpent, PP’s fiancée, decides to end the meal, at least until dessert, with Malpeque oysters from Nova Scotia. It so happens these are my favourite oysters with a nice briny finish and with a dash of freshly squeezed lemon who needs Elon Musk’s rocket to go to the moon. They are being driven inContinue reading “RKS Wine: The Penniless Pensioner’s Engagement Party: Last Course Before the Entertainment: What to Serve With Oysters?”
“Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog” : Reggie is Attacked! (A Children’s Story)
Dillie and I miss Karim. Dillie has seen his dog friends die and go to the world beyond but I have not seen many and Karim was a fellow street dog who went through suffering and trauma and finally ended up in a happy home and then he just died. This is so unfair! IContinue reading ““Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog” : Reggie is Attacked! (A Children’s Story)”
RKS Wine: The Penniless Pensioner’s Engagement Party: Secondi (Vegetarian)
PP is a meat-eating guy who equates vegetarians as communists, socialists and hippies but he keeps his opinions to himself except for me as I am becoming a confidant of the man for better or worse. The vegetarian secondi will be mushroom ragout served over polenta. The sides will be a Greek Briam and EastContinue reading “RKS Wine: The Penniless Pensioner’s Engagement Party: Secondi (Vegetarian)”
RKS Wine: The Penniless Pensioner’s Engagement Party: Secondi (non-Vegetarian)

For the Primi course it is fresh Ontario peas in a field tomato, basil, oregano and rosemary sauce with a very light infusion of red-hot chili peppers served over fresh egg noodle pasta. There is also 500 mL of Ontario craft lager in the sauce per 4 persons. This is a bit of a robustContinue reading “RKS Wine: The Penniless Pensioner’s Engagement Party: Primi”
