Mohinga! November 13, 2011

I went to Delightfully Delicious to have some mohinga. It was absolutely glorious. The chef used lotus stems instead of the traditional banana stems, which is a delicious substitution. He also used tilapia instead of yellow catfish, which also worked. I think all soups should have lemongrass, ginger, and chilies.

I wasn’t charged for my bowl of happiness, and they even gave me some to take home. They were just thrilled to share their family meal with me.

I’ll never eat off the menu again… just give me the staff meal, please!

 

 

November is just around the corner! October 31, 2011

That means I’ve got to post every day. Right? DeeDee will skin me if I don’t. Time to turn off Beverly Hills, 90210 reruns on Netflix and get started!

I’ve been running. Lots. I’ll get some pictures this week and share them.

Long day at work November 24, 2010

I had a long day at work today. I hope tomorrow is better; I think I need a weekend at home with family and friends to make me awesome again. I’m still awesome… just a little less than normal.

Get ready, cuz here I come… November 22, 2010

HRM. Get ready, because I will be home on Thursday evening until late Monday afternoon. Oh, the plans I have for you, my dear metropolis. And, what I don’t get done this weekend, I’ll get to do during the ELEVEN days I am home for Christmas break.

I’m so excited that I can’t sit still! Hooray! I’m gonna have me a Rickard’s White with DeeDee!

I need baking recipes! November 18, 2010

I’m going to be making many of my Christmas gifts this year. Do you have any great recipes you’d like to share with me? I’ve got lots of hungry tummies to fill!

A new hat for me! November 12, 2010

I’m knitting me a new hat! I hope to have it done this weekend. It’s Meret (Mystery Beret) from Woolly Wormhead. I’ve knit it before in a variegated yarn; this time, I’m using Nature Spun in Brick Road. I’ll post pictures tomorrow of the WIP.

Oh, and I’m FINALLY going to get home for a few days! Yup, the last weekend of this month, I’ll be Halifax-bound. I can’t wait to see my family, DeeDee, a certain rabid Leafs fan, and my knittah chix. Wheeeee!

Monkeytown! April 10, 2010

I’m heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere! Monkeytown, watch out. I will post a picture of the lovely housewarming gift the last tenant left for me. I saw it and knew that I made the right choice moving in this place. Honestly, I think we may have been sisters in a former life.
