Neat-O!

By in a good day

On my way to meet an old friend (as in, we met at camp in grade 6) for lunch today, I got stopped at a long light which annoyed me at first, but then I got super excited when I realized what the car with the weird contraption on the roof was: Can you see […]

Filth! Smut! Carrots!

By in food

I’ve become the farmer’s market queen, obsessively riding my bike from one to another almost daily. I never buy much, there hasn’t been much to buy…mid-August we should be up to our eyeballs in tomatoes and other wondrous things. On Monday I went to the Sorauren Market and picked up a sack of mini mutant […]

Introducing the elusive Brenda Walsh

By in kitty

She was out in the newly charcoal-replaced-in-the-filter super clear water so I snuck over and took a picture: She’s the black one in the middle, you can barely see her. But I think anyone with a speck of fish knowlege will appreciate her enormitude. Gigantic pleco, indeed! More pics after the JUMP!

Art

By in Art!

It’s been a long time since Shannon and I have gone stenciling together and I miss it. And that feeling was compounded a couple weeks ago when these appeared around the corner from our place:    They’re great. I went to the Sorauren Farmer’s Market today and only bought some mutant baby carrots. I’m waiting […]

Birthday Cupcakes

By in crochet, food

We’ve already established that I am no cake decorator (although not quite a wreckorator either) so these cupcakes, while cute, are not super duper. They tasted great and that’s all that counts, right? I used a box mix, one specifically for cupcakes that only used egg whites, rather than whole eggs. It was delicious. The […]

I also bake cookies

By in food

Sort of. These were from a President’s Choice mix, Oatmeal with raisins and dates. I rolled the first batch in coconut and the second in pignoles. Truth be told, they’re not that great. They’re an odd texture, crumby and grainy, and they fall apart easily.  They’re also oddly spiced, too much nutmeg or something. Eh. […]

Cooking on Sunday

By in food, making stuff is good

I rode my bike to the Liberty Village farmer’s market and it was worth it. The market’s not huge, but it’s nice, a good variety and there was a band playing. Here’s what I got for about $20: The gooseberries are amazing, and lucky for me, neither Shannon nor Ari like them. Ha. I made […]

Dear Tastespotting;

By in food, Griping

You used to be my favourite foodporn site. Then there was a battle about ownership and you went offline and someone started foodgawker so I started going there to satisfy my need for recipes. Then you came back online and I considered both sites to be equal. That is, until recently. Nowadays tastespotting has Patron […]

Obsessed.

By in theatre

Now I know you all know how much I love my Sirius Satellite Radio subscription, and I know you all know that for the most part I listen to Howard Stern (who I adore). The portable unit I have is actually my second one because they’re not very sturdy. The first one sort of fell […]

Since nobody asked

By in caitlin's crap

Sometimes I can be a little obsessive compulsive. Today I went through my Koolaid points to see what’s up because I’ve been saving them for YEARS. As you can see. I only drink it in the summer time. Anyway, I snipped each point thing out neatly and organized them by denomination. Lately they’ve done 100 […]
