Don’t be put off by the name of the recipe, it’s so good-one of my standbys. When I first started making it, oh, a million years ago, I had a hard time dealing with the shells, but nowadays it’s totally easy. I think I might have skipped the “rinse under cold water” step. From the […]

In the eye of the beholder
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, loveWe drove all the way around Toronto today on 2 separate missions. Number one was getting medicine for sick fish. Donna’s got some form of fungal infection and my first plan is to put salt in her water. It took a while to figure out what size pond it is, I didn’t want to over […]

A is for acorns
By Caitlin Jane in crochet, making stuff is goodMy cache of acorns has grown and shrunk in the last week. I have given 2 away, and have another 3 on reserve. I’d like to move a few more out, but I’d also like to make a few more new ones. I have lots of caps and tons of eye screws, but I need […]

On having a black thumb
By Caitlin Jane in a good dayWhen it comes to plants I am a terrible mother. Especially plants that are living in an area of our space that I never venture into. So these guys were dying a slow, dry, painful death until yesterday when I dragged them one by one downstairs into the main space. Now they flank the fishpond […]

Hey, ladies, it’s shower time!
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, friends, loveWent to my homegirl’s bridal shower today. It’s only the second one I’ve been to in my entire life so I never know what to expect-much less what to bring. This one was an easy one, no games or ribbon bonnet-WOO WOO-and finger sandwiches, fruit skewers and cupcakes. Wine spritzers. I love drinking-everyone knows that-and […]

Shhhhh
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, daily grindThe fish continue to entertain me. I know this will sound terrible, but I think I love them more than I love Rose. Well, maybe not, but once they start letting me pat them, that will be true. I love how weirdly unpredictable they are: after the little red fish died, they didn’t eat at […]

Old project
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, clothes, making stuff is goodShannon had been bugging me to start a new project (oh, just find a diy stuff website and pick something!) so I decided to get back to work on one that we’d started in June 2007 and put away indefinitely. The quilt. Remember? Me either, almost. Until we moved and all those bags (I think […]

Add “gardening” to my list of mad skillz
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, workWe have a little planter, it’s about 4′ by 5′, that is completely in the shade and I’d kind of been avoiding dealing with it, but today is a sunny day and it felt like a day to tackle an ugly project. The hole was full of broken glass, beer bottle caps, w-d-40 cans, plastic […]

Bang, Pow, Kablooey
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, we have funWe survived, but only just. The empty lot is pretty small (so that made for a quick and easy clean up) but it also meant we were all packed in and at the mercy of the fireworks. Ari and I started with sparklers inside, to get warmed up: Then a few friends showed up and […]

Delayed
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, crochet, we have funAs usual, as in my entire life, I celebrated my birthday and Mother’s Day on the same day. I took the 9.30am bus to St.Catharines yesterday and my mom took me shopping and it was super fun. I wound up with 4 dinner plates, 4 salad plates, workout shorts and top, a yellow paring knife, […]
