Reduced-sodium taco recipe, er, assembly

Posted by: andrea tomkins In: Recipes and Food

Commenter Kev (who chimed in on a recent post) reminded me that I’ve had a desire to write a post about tacos for some time. Remember that CBC National segment that my family was supposed to appear in (written about here and here)? It aired back in January and is online here. Kev’s family was chosen to be featured […]

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. 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.

If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.
