Cook me Italian
I recently attended a squishy but lively cooking class (demo-style) put on by chef Dan Hayes of The London Chef. The menu lured me in, and I’m so glad I attended! There were fried mozzarella di buffala balls (Mozzarella from … Continue reading
Mini Album
I’m back from Mexico, with not much to report… Mostly I spent my time reading in the sun. I’ve probably even got the darkest tan of my life.. which isn’t saying much, considering how pale I generally am (the lightest … Continue reading
Spring has Sprung!
In Victoria the sun’s out, there are birds chirping everywhere, flowers are blossoming; it’s heaven. And I’m not there. But don’t feel bad for me; I’m in a different paradise – a tropical one. This card adds some bright, positive … Continue reading
Cancun Sunshine
Hiya! I’m pretty sure we’re in paradise. Our room’s beautiful and clean, the resort, while being at 95% capacity, doesn’t seem in the least bit crowded, and I have nothing to worry about other than applying enough sunscreen. I failed … Continue reading

Crème Brulégg
Well this looks like a horrible mess! It really was delicious, and I would definitely make it again. I’ve even saved a couple cream eggs just in case I get a craving. I’m a bit late for Easter, but … Continue reading
Clean and Simple Birthday
So much to do; why am I sitting here reading a million blogs? Because I love them. I could read all of your blogs all day long.. but then I’d forget to post anything to my own blog, and my … Continue reading
Bold Blossom Fading Away
I think I’m developing some kind of skittish personality problem. I wholly blame it on the Canucks, as I was never made to handle watching this much hockey. My little heart just can’t handle it! I’m pretty sure that’s why … Continue reading
Easy Blossom Bouquet Flowers
Happy weekend! Are you Royal Wedding’ed out? I am. Some crazy family members coerced me to attend an all-nighter party.. and I just don’t do all-nighters. In fact, I’m one of the few who never pulled one in university. I … Continue reading

Spring Interlude
A house on the beach. Yes please! For now, I settle with visiting my grandparents at their beautiful log house, right at the beach in Parksville. Nathan and I headed there for Easter times with family. There were walks. There … Continue reading
Butterfly Thank You
I’m sitting here icing my neck. Next will be a warm compress. Don’t worry, I’m fine. My neck (and hip and lower back and upper back.. ok, everything) is just a bit out of wack, so the massage therapist is … Continue reading
Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Mini-Egg Cookies
This morning was busy! Easter egg hunts with enough chocolate to keep any kid sick for months, a yummy frittata, bacon, and toast breakfast, and a delicious hazelnut latte. Perfect day. To do something Easter themed, I made some Chocolate … Continue reading

Hi there, OK, I have news. I’ve been feeling like I need a holiday. I’ve been working lots and it’s making the days just sort of slip away from me. It ends up being bedtime and I wonder what happened. … Continue reading

Crafty things! Oh yes! I’ve been doing lots of crafting, if little sharing. And planning. Lots of planning. Craft planning, food planning, French-Teacher-Planning, and Mexico-trip-planning. Yep yep. This little gem of a tied up package is from a recent private … Continue reading
