I’ve had a hankering for clam chowder but kept putting it off. For some reason, I thought that clam chowder was a complicated dish that possibly involved shucking clams (does one shuck clams?) and loads of time spent simmering and stirring. I wanted chowder, badly, but didn’t feel like investing time in chowder, no matter […]

I wanted to take a moment to address this tweet of mine in greater detail because it seemed to generate a bit of excitement out there. HOLY MOLY. The @FarmBoy turkey dinner comes in a huuuuge box. It filled up the trunk of our car. Piper finds it all very interesting! pic.twitter.com/6qlsTasqeW — andrea tomkins (@missfish) […]
As I stirred a spoonful of cranberry sauce into my plain yogurt this morning it occurred to me that I am a bit of a nutbar as it pertains to using up leftovers. I really hate food waste. I mean – I REALLY hate food waste – and so I will do everything I can […]
I’ve been locked out of my own blog for some reason. Long story, but I can’t update it in the usual way so I am using a workaround to post this. Hopefully it doesn’t disappear into the ether. Sigh. I’ve been dealing with some technical issues and it’s really starting to wear on me. We had […]

About that amazing dinner at Saunders Farm
Posted by: andrea tomkins In: Easy ways to make kids happy|Ottawa

We’ve been there many times, both in the summer and fall. Last year our youngest daughter and a few friends experienced the night-time […]

The Obligatory Blurb
My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Piper who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. We also have two human offspring: Emma (24) and Sarah (22). During the day I work as a writer at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
