Senior Meatloaf & The Power of Pockets
Do you secretly identify as meatloaf or lasagna in your senior years? Is meatloaf the steady comfort we need as we age, or would you rather have the unpredictable layers of a lasagna? When did comfort foods become the ultimate metaphor for surviving the chaos of getting older? And why, for the love of pockets, do women’s pants still come with fake pockets?

Pot Pies, Expensive Subs & Emergency Underwear
Is it even possible to become a cozy, matching-pajama-set “pot pie” woman if you hate peas... or do you just need to give up and embrace your tattered pajama empire? Why do chicken pot pies act like they’re pies when really, under that crust, it’s just a veggie ambush? Who decided it was okay for a sub to cost $19? Are we paying rent on that bread or what?

Do leftovers have a 24-hour expiry, or are we living on the edge by keeping turkey for day two or is it time we admit we just toss them after pretending to care? Why does opening garbage bags have to be so hard, and will the struggle ever end? If you can’t decide which is worse, a trapeze artist with

Fridge Lights, GPS U-Turn & Brad Pitt's Porn
Is the fridge light the greatest mystery of modern times or just a conspiracy waiting to be cracked? Is it blind faith to trust the cold glow disappears or do we need hidden camera evidence and a magnifying glass à la Sherlock Holmes? Does your trust in “the lady” in your GPS run so deep you’d make a U-turn on a six-lane Toronto street because she told you to?

Slow Walking, Bad Buffets & Zero Sugar Oreos
Why do some people power-walk like they're in a marathon, while others prefer a leisurely, scenic saunter? Is life meant to be experienced at top speed, or should we take time to enjoy our surroundings especially if your walking partner’s 10 feet ahead and not looking back? Should junk food like Oreos ever be zero sugar, or is that just a cruel twist of fate for snack lovers? Do hotel breakfast buffets ever get it right, or does mystery ketchup in a communal bowl signal it’s time to order off t
