It's like eating bread sandwiched in more bread. There is a movement in our casa to decrease meat consumption and I'd say it's going decently well. Also, being the music master that I am, minions have approached me asking, "Dear talented music master of good taste and beauty, what pairs well with tasteless 'sausage' and 'beef' patties?" So here you go, lowly subordinates, take a listen.

Earlier this week, I was waiting for the train when Lady Antebellum's Need You Now played on my ipod and I found myself blushing and staring at my shoes, as if those around me had super powers and could tell what I was listening to. But it's okay, because the Smiths came on next and I quickly reverted to light foot tapping and observing fellow commuters with lowered eyelids, knowing how much

There's nothing better than snail mail from friends...Unless it's a snail package. Or better yet, a snail package full of candy! Deliciously hand-crafted soda filled candies and a lollipop as large as my face arrived by courier, courtesy of mon friend, monsieur paille-baie. If I won the lottery, I'd have a guy who traveled around the world solely to mail me sweetly packaged confectioneries! Rocky

We had a pretty fantastic Saturday! Woke up all relaxed, mid-morning and lounged before heading out for some furniture shopping. Voila ici.Yes, the tulip knockoff. And did you know they serve beer at Ikea? Something about drinking in a family friendly place like Ikea seemed badass so I felt compelled to order a bottle with my meal. Because, I mean, I am badass, so I need to do my part, you know?

Ever since we moved in last week, we've been frugal with our electricity and water usage. And it's not because we're environmental. Plain and simple, we're aiming for the lowest of the low possible bills! I think we're doing very well. But, it's made me hesitant about cooking and baking. The only thing we've used is the microwave (to nuke our veggie "sausage" patties below). Meals from May 24 at

The move was successful, save a few obnoxious hiccups (we were without a working fridge for four days. devastating condiments casualty in this household. don't worry, the ketchup survived). Still preoccupied with a few details; customer care staff and trade workers coming in and out. Also, the dogre and I have been earnestly discussing my short term-long term (career) goals and plans, which I'll

Came up with a list of things that I'll miss about our shoebox home: 1. The "unlimited" supply of utilities (goodbye random cooking/baking spritz and running water...hello candles! I exaggerate. hehe. sort of)2. Sitting in the bedroom and still being able to look at and chat with the dogre when he's all the way across the house, in the kitchen. though...he claims to not hear me at times, which I

So I scheduled the whole weekend to tackle my assignments, knowing it'd be time consuming (resume revamping, writing about strengths, weaknesses, threats, opportunities, a bio, character sketch, and an elevator pitch!) and naturally, I decided cooking and baking was a more pressing matter. Honestly, the best times to invite yourself over is when I'm avoiding something (which is often. and most

Had dinner at Banjara (over by Christie Pitts) with friends last night and then shamelessly gobbled up my leftovers just before passing out on the sofa (seriously knocked out. drool everywhere). Guess what I learned? Indian food gives me crazy nightmares. I woke up in the middle of the night covered in sweat, took forever to fall back asleep, and startled yet again after another nightmare!

Mon friends, I can proudly write that I didn't soil myself on Friday. On Thursday night, I was filled with anticipation, wondering what it'd feel like to be drugged. The instruction package advised that the effects would hit me within moments of taking the valium so I nervously popped 10mg in after tucking myself into bed, while my seastar played "soothing" (crickets) soundclips from Youtube and

So I may become the next Youtube sensation, found under the search "girl craps her pants at major intersection of Yonge and Bloor". Backtrack; I'm having the root canal procedure (along with prep work and temporary crowning on two teeth. costing about $3500) on Friday morning. This means I'll be heavily sedated from Thursday night onwards to ease my anxiety—I'll even be wheelchaired home (I'm a

Song: Pulling Our Weight by The Radio Dept. I was super excited about posting this but after wasting thirty minutes trying to figure out why my video wouldn't import into iMovie and an additional thirty learning how to convert it to something else, I lost steam. So, voila ici, cheesetastic effects. Of course, that doesn't explain my shoddy and shaky filming job...but how dare you judge me! Oh,

Ahh, pistachio gelato! An indication of summer to come. The weather's been unfriendly these past few days. Maybe it's a reflection of my miserable physical state. More on that later. Because I know you care. You do care, right? Good, so tonight it'll be a sandwich-style post: fluffy happy carbs around rotten, disgusting, despicable meat. So, let's begin.

Some time ago, we took a spontaneous one night trip to Montreal, specifically to visit this bed and breakfast. The b&b is very charming, unique, a short walking distance to the main shopping and entertainment streets, and they provide a delicious complimentary breakfast!We were the only guests and even the staff headed home for the night. I found myself startled with every breath the house took (

So of all the cute photos (of my brother. seriously, he was the cutest baby ever. like, baby/toddler model worthy. will scan and show one day.) I could have posted, I chose this unflattering shot of him. But, in all fairness, check out my receding hairline action. Why did that lady pull my hair back so tight? Note to self, if we ever have kids, let hair loose and wild. Happy birthday, brother.

I want this brass shelf by Phoebe Howard. I first spied it on Habitually Chic and noticed it popping up here and there. But I can't find information on it and it's bothering me, despite the one trillion percent likelihood that we could never, ever afford it. It just tickles my fancy; it's my dream shelf. I want to have its babies. So Apartment Therapy shared their favourite Etsy shops. And,

a few years ago the dogre and I were at Ikea (he has bravely suffered through many Ikea trips; I was an addict. and it was my special mission to come up with reasons why I needed a lazy susan, extra duvet covers, cookie cutters, etc). we were in the parking lot when I saw an unattended dog in a car and the weather, let me tell you friend, wasn't good (to be honest, it's hazy to me now whether it

Sunday night's dinner, in all its glory. Dogre, send a link of this post to your parents! (the dogre's mum often asks us what we eat and how we can possibly cook in such a small space and now we can show her that there's more to our diet than pizza—um, maybe you shouldn't send her the link to this post...just the photos).

I just realized that the city illustrations artist is the very same person who created the "bonjour mademoiselle" and other works. The very prints that I had pestered the dogre about some time ago...to no avail. ho hum! So again, website here; etsy shop here; & blog here.

We finally have...a POSTAL CODE! Exciting. Oh, post title explanation: Rocky thinks I'm inadequate. Apparently, my commitment to eye crusties wiping is so appallingly lacking that he's learned to wipe them himself. Like a Shiba Inu... Also, are you aware of his disability? Yes, his tongue is too big and long for his mouth. All you snooty canines of this world really shouldn't take eating so

I'm struggling with sleep again. I kid you not, for years I have been telling the dogre that I view his abilities to fall asleep immediately, anywhere, as the most enviable super power (well, maybe next to the power to conjure up food on whim, and puppies...and money). So, I've been going to bed later and later until I finally just didn't sleep at all. And let me tell you, my body is not feeling

Have always wanted one—I get giddy at the mere sight of them.Also, I am the monopoly king. That or the dogre sucks.

when I was about seven or eight, I was involved in a love triangle. I remember our first minor strife—my uneventful introduction to Jealousy and Inadequacy.  we were cutting our murals with the safety scissors the teacher provided when I noticed the boy looking at my girlfriend's handiwork with approval. I swear to goodness, I have a scissors+(in)accuracy complex to this day. unfortunately, I

PART 1. Have I ever told you that Gmail hurt my feelings? Yes. When I was creating my account, it rejected the name I proposed. Apparently, my name doesn't have enough characters for their majesty-ness. Such a painful dose of reality, it was. Is there a term for such discrimination? Name lengthism? Name character countism? So anyway, this terrible event sprouted my life long battle with name

Lately, we've been dreaming of road trips in our very own jeep wrangler. The dogre has been searching and looking and thinking and tinkling (what?) and it's up at the top of our list. Of course, he mentioned the cons: bumpy ride, poor fuel efficiency, cramped rear seat space...{photo by carlos diaz} Super fun music video below.Love the music, love her voice! I want it. Tradesies?

Had a serious (and rare) cupcake craving so we skipped over to Dessert Lady in Yorkville. Got myself the very last red velvet cupcake (topped with cream cheese icing, of course), I did!

This week in my Illustrator class, the lecturer was discussing pathfinders and the type tool and I got carried away and started playing rather than listening...Remember when I said that my mom never praised me or put up my artwork/grades (and they were darn worthy of praise and display, let me tell you!) on the fridge? Well now, what's happened is that whenever I fiddle with something and I've

At the top of our summer activities list, along with decor shopping, cycling, and gelato-ing, is a trip to the zoo. Our last visit was eight hours long and by the end of the day, I was nursing a major headache and sore feet... I'm excited to return! Can't forget trips to the "beach" either. I have a couple of swimsuits but would graciously accept your offer to a shopping spree. Net-a-porter's

A bit of food...Recipe for the braised tofu here.Lin Garden in Scarborough. Really good Chinese-Indian Hakka food.The in-laws are trying to sell off some pieces so I spent a few minutes snapping photos around their house.Rocky had the most fun this weekend, tagging along on for the bike rides, enjoying some drive-by barking,* and rolling over dead bugs. Ahh, how lovely! And now we return to the

The dogre scoured Craigslist and got me a fancypants Schwinn cruiser! And just in time too because sunshine is just shooting out of the city's bunghole! Hoorah! Too many exclamation marks! Sorry! No I'm not! On a sadder note, Mia's staying at my brother's place for the next little while. I miss her so. And Rocky's depressed without her. The dogre—ehh. As a tribute to her, I decided to include her

I love snail mail! Particularly when they introduce me to their travel mates—gifts! A buddy of the dogre's recently sent us a package of goodies from Busan (along with a sweet note that was ridiculously challenging to open up and I eventually...kind of...sort of...ripped up here and there. in my defense, it was a very complex heart shaped origami fold that must have taken a gajillion steps to

I think my fashion style screams clean basics with the occasional whimsy/quirk. It's also been called a cross between granny and French style (according to my seastar and the dogre). Comfort is essential to me. Along with not standing out...Which is why I gravitate towards cardigans, loose tees, and skinny jeans in grays, blacks, whites, and navy blues. When I'm feeling playful, I'll bust out

Isn't this neat? It's from the Canadian blogger, a little danish, who moved to Copenhagen to live said beautiful life. Groovy.

When I was 18 my Family Studies teacher, while on the topic of childcare, opened my eyes to the wonder that is Denmark. Later in university, Sociology courses revisited the country with enviable higher standard of living, health, and environmental conscientiousness. This was a brief period where I was fired up over the national childcare and daycare issues in Canada and wished to move to Denmark

Rocky's expression perfectly sums up my mood for this week. Nose flared, lips pursed, and eyes crossed with a touch of despair/exasperation (I might be reading too much into the photo now. just maybe). It's been a tough few days—I lost a loved one on Monday morning. And then I suffered an unnecessary dish washing accident involving the following sequence of events: crashing mug, bloody bathtub,

I started Illustrator 1 this week and thought I'd fool around for a bit (ever since I changed to a Mac, I've been going through some serious MS Paint-withdrawal! yes, I just compared Illustrator to Paint). Have to say, it wasn't the least bit painful since (in the name of research) I leisurely sifted through photos of my favourite purses. Clearly, all bags are out of my price range and I can only

Don't these photos scream SUMMER?! I can't believe we're already five days into March. I'm not sure if I'm really drinking life in and slowing down to savour anything. It's like we're constantly looking forward—deadlines, dates, upcoming markers. Hoping for a summer filled with homemade ice cream, mini finger sandwiches, ice cold colas with lemon wedges, strolls in the new neighbourhood, window

Had I known back in high school that careers like food stylist and photographer existed, maybe I'd have reconsidered my academic choices! It's interesting to read about some of their techniques and I can't get enough of the beautiful photos. My favourites here. Seriously, can you please go take a look-see? It'll leave you salivating out the eyes and mouth!

So, while brushing my teeth and trying to get rid of the garlicky breath, I started thinking about this amazing and high trafficked blog of mine and once again, reflected upon the concern that I may be coming off as superficial and filled with purely materialistic interests. Actually, this all started because last night, my mom mentioned my blog. Not that she follows it—I pulled it up a couple of

  So high tea at the Windsor Arms was very fun! Not the best quality food but really good tea and worth the experience! I'd go again! Anyone? Yes? No? Finn, it'd be a really neat spot for Mother's Day! They have a second room that looks oh-so-quintessentially tea room-y and warm. So okay, we selected the Full Tea which included...A CHOICE OF THEIR LOOSE-LEAF TEAS: The dogre had Chai Arms (ceylon,

Well, another year, another day older the same age. Had a really nice week, despite the crummy weather, spending time with family and some friends! I even received a "real" gift from my mom (she usually just gives me a thin envelope). Well, technically, the dogre did all the work (he was her gift advisor, purchaser, and delivery guy. I even overheard the words they exchanged—"Sorry I didn't wrap

Tonight while we were critiquing collages, the dogre interrupted our class. Unexpected. In uniform. When the lecturer was in mid-sentence.  To present me with a bouquet of flowers. To which the whole class, in unison, cried "aw" and sang to me. And then chuckled at me the whole evening... I'm a sensitive girl. And I can certainly be emotional. But I'm not a romantic. And, I'm quite content with

Since I'm tired of using cleaning as an escape from studying, I've now resorted to online window shopping. I must say, after years and years of schooling, I'm very good at it. We're moving on from gold things to vintage feeling cameras. I've always wanted to learn photography and at one point even owned a fancy Nikon DSLR (for about a week and then guilt about the cost kicked in). Now I'm trying

I really think that my love for yellow gold has to do with aging. Same with floral patterns. I don't know why this topic merits a blog post but I just felt like sharing the many pretty items I've bookmarked on my Firefox.* By the by, I have a folder titled Wish List that I consistently update in hopes that the dogre will have no difficulty in getting me the perfect gift. So far, it hasn't worked.

Delicious Thai curry at Linda. In order of photos: mango salad, calamari, king oyster mushroom with soft tofu, golden curry chicken, salmon, emerald curry, green curry beef, and the birthday girl, who ordered from the prix fixe menu, sampled tropical fruit ice cream and poached pear.followed by cake at the house, of course!

Pretty cool store. They salvage about 9,000 fallen trees (due to urban development, storm damage, et cetera) each year, preventing the spread of insect infestation and disease to the rest of the tree population. They then make unique furniture pieces out of the rescued material. Also, we're talking about trees within the GTA! Short distance to transport the trees to the facility (so

So after learning that the last closet below belongs to Jenna Lyons, creative director of J.Crew, I really wanted to see the rest of her place. Thanks to Habitually Chic and my sleuthy sleuthing (there were tons of sites and images. plus, it's old news. but shh!) I saw more than enough to please my chubby little heart.

I've always been envious of Carrie's walk-in closet but lately, I've been dreaming bigger. Larger than a closet. Larger than a walk-in closet. Boutique-style! How full of myself would I have to be to dedicate a whole room to rolling racks of clothes, mirrors, and a bench? Very. But I'm willing to try.Let's offset my "vanity" by judging the closets of a few Hollywood celebrities.{photo credit:

Last year tomorrow the dogre got down on one knee and proposed. On Valentine's day. Not surprising, considering he orders cheques decorated with butterflies and dewy leaves. HIS PLAN: a surprise road trip outside of the city to a beautifully scenic spot by the waters, dotted with wind turbines*, and a sunset proposal. THE PROPOSAL STORY: an anxious race against time after making a wrong turn, and

Last week, the dogre fed me ravioli with a twist: wonton wrappers! Deliciously stuffed with goat cheese and ricotta. Substituted Martha Stewart's parsley sauce for a familiar and heartier red sauce (I don't know what he does but the dogre makes good sauce). We ate until we felt sick and cheese was oozing out of our ears and nosies. Very slight exaggeration. Recipe here.

I'm not a very lovey-dovey, affectionate person (unless I'm bored or about to get into trouble. then I'll shamelessly bat my sparse eyelashes at the dogre) but I do appreciate an insignificant day dedicated to unnecessary gift giving and doting!

Sometime in my university years, however, cola and I went our separate ways. Well, to tell the truth, I was immersed in a brief yet passionate affair with ginger ale.

{photo credit: a cup of jo} AVATAR AND EVIL LAUGHTER: Avatar (in IMAX 3D) was very entertaining! Here are two observations I walked away with. Skip #2 if you haven't seen it yet (spoiler alert?): ONE. Even though the movie has been out for about two months, the theatre was packed. We were unprepared for this and ended up with crusty seats by the front. This frustrating and disappointing event

When I grow up, I'm going to have a bar cart in my living room. The dogre and I are not heavy drinkers and most of what we consume need to be chilled. So, a bar wouldn't be the most sensible addition to the casa. But chuck sensibility out the window and say hello to fancy because, I don't care, we're getting one! My photo library of inspirational bar tables has been growing and growing (click to

Appetizer: Bread (fresh, warm, + fluffy) with house preserves (mildly tangy + sweet), organic olive oil and balsamic vinegar (so good!). The colour on the preserves photo looks weird but I'm too lazy to correct it. I should really just leave all food photog. to the dogre...Mains: Berkshire Pork Chop (juicy, flavourful, and succulent) with confit potato (delicious), preserved lemon and rice "sauce

A few weeks ago, the dogre noticed that all my car passenger rage was directed at senior drivers (they were driving recklessly). I'm not an ageist, I promise, and get riled up over poor drivers of all ages, despite the fact that I myself don't (can't) drive. On this particular night, they just all happened to be elderly: too fast, too slow, too reckless, too old (purely for rhyming purposes!).

While perusing around in my favourite shop in Paris, I picked up a few vintage labels for a friend. And, at five euros a piece, I don't have to tell you that the dogre was looking over my shoulder, watching my every move, every selection, and every price tag. I felt guilty but had not yet learned that you could find free printable labels online. If only...In any case, I spent the first night of

Hmm, something about the post title makes me think there may be some dirty innuendo which I'll later regret...but never-you-mind—there's ketchup to be discussed! Since a) the dogre is away at work and b) I haven't been obsessively lurking around the internet for food pornography, I "resorted" to my childhood comfort food of ketchup, sausage, rice, and a pile of kimchi. Now, just as much as

I like to visit Kensington Market because it makes me feel really hip and indie. I also go for the burritos. Here are a couple of purchases from the Blue Banana Market that make my eyes smile. This little whale usually comes in a set of animal friends but I suppose a few broke, as they were selling him individually. He's a candle holder but in my casa, he loves to store my bobby pins.

The place we're currently renting is so small that we've "extended" our storage space into our balcony (big blue bins). As unsightly as it is, we don't have to worry about any complaint since our building neighbour is a big, ugly commercial building. Our future home will be slightly, ever so slightly, larger so I'm daydreaming about actually decorating our concrete backyard! I perused the

Remember last week when I mentioned a struggle at the supermarket? Well it was worth it! On my pork chop hunt, after staring at the meat section for a good fifteen minutes noting variations of the name pork chop but no PORK CHOP (I told you I was new to this), I gave up and walked away with the freshest looking and tastiest sounding cut: pork rib eye steak.  Tonight: Crunchy Pork Chops (Nigella

Picture me wearing these headphones. Clearly, I look awesome, right? I can't help but feel like I'm better than you when I'm strolling down Bloor street with these on. You see me and I may look bored and mild but on the inside, I'm thinking "Teehee- yeah, these are mine, I'm hip, I'm cool!" And you're thinking "Woah, she must have a more refined and superior taste in music than me!" To tell you

Since we live in such a small space, I'm constantly feeling the urge to purge and strive for a minimalistic look. So, you'd think I'd keep my fridge clean...but I don't—I present to you a diarrhea of photos, postcards, stamps, drawings, and the occasional recipe. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that my childhood Magic Box was bare of A+ report cards, affectionate cards from mum to

I hate grocery shopping. I hate it as much as I despise bra and jean shopping. All three leave me very confused and sweaty! When I find a bra that fits well, I'll buy two or three. I'll alternate between two pairs of jeans until they wear out to the point that I'm walking around campus unaware that there's a tear in the bum and my sexy granny panties are on display. True story.

I know Wednesday has come and gone but while you, my loyal reader, were anxiously refreshing this page for updates, I was having fits of panic getting on, staying on, and jumping off ski lifts. Sorry for being tardy! To make up for it, I was going to post a photo of my outfit - a one-piece snowsuit from the 80's, courtesy of the dogre's mom. Unfortunately, nobody took a picture of said Kodak

Let's start with Sunday Suppers (ahh, alliteration! how nice). On such days, I'll post on my attempt at new recipes.I'm a novice cook and a fetus baker. No, that came out wrong. I only wanted to voice just how much of a newbie I am at baking! Like, practically

It was great!Loved: the set design, "So Long, Farewell" and little Gretl.Despised: my chatty neighbour who, at one point, started to sing along (until I gave her a death-glare) and vocalized (through "awws" and clucking) how gosh-darn-cute the von Trapp kids were.

I come out of a smelly stall, after a harmless pee session, and there is someone waiting to use it after moi.

I've been thinking of taking up yoga for quite some time. I've been out of sorts and thought that some inner calm would do me good. Maybe yoga - the gentle restorative/meditative kind - will get me out of my funk and hush-up my busy brain (seriously, I'm a never-ending-ruminating-thinking-thinking-fretting-thinking-machine with the consequence of sleepless nights and foggy mornings).
