This just landed: I had to open it to see what on earth the offer was. Seriously can't stop laughing. This is hysterical. If I ate bacon I would totally buy it. I wonder if this is what inspired GaGa. … [Read more...]
Talking about the weather, sort of, not really
So we have been on this 'started out as detox / became a way of eating every day / lost a stack of weight without really trying' diet thing for over 6 months now...and although it hasn't really done what it was supposed to do I am now really little [horizontally now too rather than just vertically] for the first time in my life and it has really just become a healthy way of life more than a diet but now it is winter... ...and all I want to do is bake and eat loaves and loaves of bread with … [Read more...]
Someone else making the cake
After a day of lovely text messages and phone calls, rousing [making up in volume what it was lacking slightly in tune] renditions of the song of the day and a surprise cake at work, I finished off my birthday with a very thoughtful gift and a wonderful dinner compliments of my gorgeous husband..... Warned the waiter in advance that I may photograph everything [blur complements of an old iPhone]...RJ's worried that this may be my new favourite restaurant. Bistro Moncur - The taste buds are … [Read more...]
Play me a buritto
Happy Cinco de Mayo! Lunch was punctuated today by the stylings of a mariachi band outside of Guzman y Gomez. Even better, $5 burritos in celebration of the day. … [Read more...]
Dirty magazines with lunch
Oh where to begin...and none of it is nearly as salacious as the title suggests, sorry! About a week ago I met with the business partner of a guy I used to work for years ago. I started a 4 week contract this past Monday...like riding a bicycle I tell ya. Good to work with this guy again though, and the agency seems to have some really good people. Some smart young'ens and others with a heap of industry miles under their belts - interesting mix and a pretty good vibe interjected by random … [Read more...]
Definition of Irony #1
Apparently I can’t boil water. I can make a mean cake, bake beautiful bread, create a mad curry paste and turn pretty much anything healthy [except this insanity, I don't want to even try to turn this healthy, I want to undo 4 months of healthy to sit on the kitchen floor and eat the entire pan with a big glass of milk], but what happens when I boil water….this: oops. Luckily I caught it before it started to smoke, just. Yes I boil water for tea in a pan. No we don’t have a kettle. … [Read more...]
You’re doing WHAT?
…is the general reaction, usually followed by ‘not the best time of year is it?’. Well if you have had lunch, dinner or pretty much any social occasion with us in the past 8 weeks or so you have already heard about The Detox/New Diet [cue doom music]. It isn’t really that bad – no sugar, no white flour, no alcohol, no cow’s milk dairy, no chocolate [even the dark stuff], no saturated fried-style fats…all with a generous complement of supplements, herbal tonics and full [wallet draining] support … [Read more...]
