It’s a snowy world again! [Playing around with my phone camera’s colour modes…Instagram it ain’t but I do what I can] I like going for walks in the snow what I have a cold [coupled with drinking mug upon mug of tea, of course]. Seems counter-intuitive, but it always makes my head, throat, and stuffy […]

I just came back from a nice li’l trip to Toronto where I watched a friend participate in an intense culinary competition, ate Chinese food (kung hei fat choi!), walked enough to give both of my feet giant blisters, spent time in my favourite bookstores and got new drawing pens! [I’m not very good with […]
Why have I never tried chocolate oatmeal before? This creation was composed off: 1/4 Bob’s Red Mill multigrain cereal Pinch of cinnamon 1 c water Splash of almond milk 1/2 banana, sliced 1 Tbsp cocoa powder Peanut butter Frozen raspberries Pretty splendid way to start the day. [Frozen raspberries, why are you so un-photogenic?] Another […]
Boredom bakin’ Dancing, shakin’ Cookie makin’ For the takin’ Right, good thing I’m not in a creative writing course at the moment. I refuse to let my unsulfured molasses go to waste, so sorry to be boring, but here are MOAR gingersnaps! Half with red sprinkles, half with a chocolate centre. I have a cookies-for-laundry […]
I was in Toronto for a few days for interviews and enjoyed some good meals and excursions into the wintry city! Breakfast: fried egg with arugula and avocado on half a bagel, with pear on the side. I also cracked open my Wanda’s Pie in the Sky cookbook to make these “gorilla” cookies: Basically a […]
Hm, looks like I might be moving back to Toronto sooner than I thought…I have three job/internship interviews in the next couple of days, so if I get work there, it doesn’t make sense to stay in Waterloo, much as I adore my apartment. Oh, the unpredictability of life as a recent graduate! My eats […]
When one is finished school and unemployed, free time is available in delightfully long stretches. Plenty of time for a leisurely Saturday brunch with a friend! Recipe adjusted from All Recipes – Todd’s Famous Blueberry Pancakes: *Makes 10-12 small pancakes* 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt Pinch of cinnamon 1 tablespoon baking powder […]
My sister and I made this Thai butternut squash soup but a week ago, and here I am recreating it already. Must be a winner! For so few ingredients, it packs a flavour wallop. Recipe, once again, is from C is for Kitchen (adapted from the Moosewood Cookbook): 1 cup coconut milk ½ teaspoon Thai […]
The calming quality of long walks in the snow is really appealing to me right now. Pitter patter. Iron Horse trail – haven’t been here in a long while. I do enjoy looking up at railway tracks. Clear skies for once – yes! KDubs can be quite beautiful, despite popular belief! *** Some glimpses of […]
I’m all about the savoury brunches at the moment. Leftover lentil-squash stew with a fried egg and uh, a lot of parsley which I’m trying to use up before it goes yellow. With my new “hidden owl” mug – a lovely Christmas gift. I also received a FOOD PROCESSOR (miniature, but still Kitchen Aid and […]
