zweifatchicks — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 18:58:28 +0000

In August we met up with our good friends Jamie and Daisy to explore Kingston. The only thing we really had planned was to take them out for dinner at the Kingston Brewing Company. We found lots of great places to eat, and they were good enough to come on the show and talk about what we discovered in Kingston together!

Ep 69 - Disney Pt. 2 and BW3, eh?

zweifatchicks — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 17:13:39 +0000

This episode covers the rest of Disney and the trip home from Florida, plus the first International Buffalo Wild Wings location, right here in Oshawa, Ontario!

Ep 68 - Mishmash

zweifatchicks — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 00:56:17 +0000

This episode is three pretty unrelated things (except for the fact that all three things are unhealthy/fried). We still have Disney part 2 to edit and we just recorded an episode about Mill Street Brewery and Izumi fresh pressed sake made right in downtown Toronto! Try and stay cool everyone!

Ep 67 - Disney & Epcot Part 1

zweifatchicks — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 17:04:20 +0000

At the beginning of May we went to Disney World in Orlando, FL. This is part one of our adventures in the Magic Kingdom and Epcot!

Ep 66 - Book Review: The Omnivore’s Dilemma

zweifatchicks — Mon, 02 May 2011 01:44:30 +0000

This episode had to be re-recorded three times and then Sheila had to recreate the Outro since our hard drive crashed last week, so hopefully everyone enjoys this episode. Also, this is the first time we’ve recorded an episode on Tracy’s iPod, so if you like the quality of it, let us know in an e-mail or facebook wall post. We’ll be going on vacation next week, so as usual, the podcast remains irregular. Enjoy!

Ep 65 - Old Stone Brewing Co. Peterborough

zweifatchicks — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 13:10:41 +0000

We went to the Canoe Museum in Peterborough ON back in February and had lunch at a great brew pub - The Old Stone Brewing Co. [380 George Street North, Peterborough ON, (705)745-0495]. Here’s the episode! For pictures, check out our facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/album.php?fbid=1326342135034&id=1725355827&aid=35819

Ep 64 - Toronto - Not Just Noodles, Big Daddies

zweifatchicks — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 23:21:44 +0000

The good news: Sheila is now working full time. The bad news: We don’t have as much time to go out for lunch anymore (since she’s on midnights and is usually asleep while all the lunch specials winnow away). But, we are going to make an effort to put the podcast out at least bi-weekly, and we recently took a trip to Toronto!
