I’ve made 2 batches of this muesli since I got home from England and I love it. It tastes so good and seems to give me great fuel for the day, especially on gym or swim days. This recipe makes 4 portions. I make it at night and it’s ready by morning, and lasts a […]

England, part 2, the tourist
By Caitlin Jane in haha, love, we have funThe truth of the trip is that we mostly did family stuff. It has been 7 years since my last visit and 20 years for my sister. We really wanted to get to know everyone again and a lot of time was spent sitting in living rooms, laughing our heads off. Of course we did […]

England trip, part 1: treasures!
By Caitlin Jane in caitlin's crap, haha, hmmmm, seriously?I got back from a 10 day trip to England on Monday and I am starting to feel like myself again. It wasn’t really 10 days, I was gone that long but with the time change and some serious jet lag in both directions, it was really more like 7 days. Anyway, I did lots […]

Leaving.
By Caitlin Jane in caitlin's crap, crochet, love, making stuff is goodIn a few short hours I will be leaving for the airport. I’m headed for England, my first cousin is getting married next weekend and I’m so excited. I think it’s 7 years since I was there last.

Skating
By Caitlin Jane in daily grind, GripingAnyone I’m friends with in real life or that follows me on twitter knows that I hate summer. I hate the sun blaring down on me, I hate sweating when I’m not doing anything, I hate overly air conditioned buildings. In winter I can always add a sweater or another pair of socks. In summer […]

Dolly quilt
By Caitlin Jane in babies, crochet, making stuff is goodSmall projects can be so satisfying. This quilt used up a small pile of collected scraps and one fat quarter for the back and binding. I used small pieces of batting, zigged together. It’s such an easy project. The Fabricland at North York Centre is closing and has lots of interesting things on sale so […]

Monday
By Caitlin Jane in kittyOn Monday morning when I went to feed the fish I knew immediately that something was terribly wrong. Only one silly face was gaping at me for breakfast. The other fish, Donna, was wedged beneath the flat rocks at the bottom of the pond. This is the third fish, in as many years, that has […]

Oatmeal cookies
By Caitlin Jane in food, seriously?These might not be the best cookies I’ve ever baked (wait, do I say that every time?) but they might be, so why risk losing this recipe? They used to be called Oatmeal, Chocolate Chip and Pretzel Cookies but I have morphed them into better-dom. From this day forward, they will be known as Oatmeal, […]

Hats!
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, clothes, crochet, making stuff is goodI have a big head. There. I said it on my blog. The problem with a big head is that I can never find a hat that fits. At least, not inexpensive, mass produced hats. Nothing cute, certainly. And like most clothes that don’t fit properly, a jammed down hat looks terrible, feels bad, and […]

Idiot.
By Caitlin Jane in haha, kittyThese posters appeared in our alley a couple days ago and every time I see one I start laughing. Poor kitty*. If that cat was thinking about going into porn, I’d suggest he change his name to Rusty Pawprints. *Not my kitty. And anyway, Rose is too old and horrible for pornography.
