Picture free update.

So it looks like it’s been 2 weeks since my last update, sorry. Where does the time go? Frankly, I don’t know. I mean, I have made 4 quilt tops (and finished one completely including binding), sewn 90 triangle flags for a bunting (they are 6″ across, 9″ long and not quite finished yet) had […]

PB&J cookies

By in food

I made these cookies the other day. Not only were they totally easy but they are so yummy too. Mine looked a little different than hers, I used margarine instead of butter and my apartment is blazing hot so they spread more. I think if (ok, when) I make them again, I’d chill the dough […]

Freddie!

By in babies, food

First and foremost, I have to extend a huge welcome to Laura‘s new baby boy, Frederick Theodore Guenther Mordaunt who weighed in at 9lbs 14oz. He’s a whopper! After only 16.5 hours of labour, way to go! Congratulations too to Laura’s husband Adam (who does not wear thong underwear) and to big sister Ella (who […]

New favourite

By in food, friends, seriously?

Pop. So it’s not the most exciting blog post? I can only find this at one store in all of Toronto, and believe me, I’ve been to ALL the stores here. All of them. Well, most of them. Can’t you just taste it right now? So delicious. So full of artificial everything. Yummmm. Ok, and […]

Also delicious

By in food, making stuff is good

Crumbles be damned, from this day forward I am a Cobbler girl. I think I got this recipe from PW and it’s a total winner: 1 stick butter, melted 1.25 C sugar 1 C self-rising flour 1 C milk (I used goat milk because that’s what we have here these days) 2 C blackberries Whisk […]

Here’s what to do:

By in a good day, food, making stuff is good

When you have the time/space. Since last Monday when I was at the Sorauren Farmer’s Market (which, if you are in the area, you really should go to, it’s small but everyone there is nice and has beautiful local/organic produce) and met some nice ladies from Parkdale’s Westend Food Co-op who made me think about […]

Impending health

By in food

In an effort to be healthier, I’ve switched up my normal diet. Of course, I’ve become addicted to this meal and eat it daily. Well, as far as I can tell, there’s nothing bad in it. It’s a baked sweet potato with a mixed green salad dumped on top, with a lemon juice, olive oil, […]

iphone self portraits

By in food

I took these on my walk home from Dufferin Mall today. I tried to take a picture of an hilarious hipster but missed him by inches so I turned my camera to myself instead. I’m almost as hip, with my Gap for Kids sunglasses, right? It’s better blown up, if you click it you can […]

Gesundheit!

By in food, work

I’ve been working on being extra healthy this winter and so far, so good. No colds or flues to mention-yet. Part of that regime was inspired by Karyn, the owner of the workroom where I am taking my quilting class. One evening she was making herself dinner, and it smelled so good I knew I […]

First post of 2010

By in a good day, food, making stuff is good

It snowed a little here in Toronto today, not much-maybe an inch or so-but it sure was cold. How cold? This hydrant/faucet thingy on Roncesvalles was feeling it: Don’t lick it. We did end up playing at the park too, but not for long. Ari and I worked on several projects, the first a teddy […]
