It’s snowing outside, the family is together, and I am in the mood for skating, tobogganing, winter walks, and baking various sweets, duh. I have also been sleeping so much better than usual – yey! Vegan ginger snaps: Look at those big chunks of crystallized ginger. I gave some away to friends and […]

Mmmmm weekend morning cappuccino (from Jimmy’s Coffee): I like this place a lot. It’s tiny though, so be prepared to hang out on the front patio! I made more Carrot Pineapple Sunshine muffins!

Just four pages a day, I can do this! (Whether or not it makes sense in the […]
All I ever do is: -write papers (2/4 done!) -see apartments -walk aimlessly and get wet feet -read back issues of the Walrus -have coffee and scones (I highly recommend the ones from St John’s Bakery – on Broadview just north of Queen) -listen to shoegaze -bake things with lemon in them! Lemon shortbread squares on […]
