Today I did laundry. I went to the farmer’s market and got 20 lbs of cherries (plus some corn, broccoli, and favas). I got all that home on my bike. I fixed a flat after riding over a sewer grate the wrong way. I went to Canadian Tire and bought a big-ass pot and brought [...]
I made the awesomest dinner tonight! The idea tonight was to use up some kale I had in the fridge that was starting to get a bit wilty. Kale is the most nutrient-dense food on the face of the earth btw. I remembered a recipe I read on a blog that had kale in some [...]
I made this tonight and it was alright… which is, in this case, a bad thing: a) it took me a few hours to make; and b) it makes a LOT. The biggest pot I own is full of it. I worked my ass off to make several gallons of soup that’s…. just okay. I [...]
I made some pasta yesterday that, unintentionally, came out tasting exactly like the Mango Forte at The Foundation. – small diced onion – some minced garlic – can of coconut milk – can of pineapple tidbits – some broccoli florets – chopped up sweet potato – some rotini or other small pasta – 1T curry [...]

I learned how to skid on Tuesday and now I have bruises on my upper thighs where the handlebars hit them. Also I’ve got to take my bike back to the shop… the drivetrain is making a really weird popping feeling. Can’t tell exactly where it’s coming from but I think it’s the bottom bracket. [...]

I did a serious grocery shopping trip today. It was great. I love grocery shopping and I got a cart with great wheels on the first try. I didn’t love walking home though. I shattered my previous walking-home-with-groceries record with a whopping $101.38. Hence my shoulders hurting – I have two big cloth bags that [...]

I finished three rows today of the shawl I’m knitting. Two more to go, then the edging, and that’s it. I’m so glad… not that I don’t like it, it’s just I’ll feel so happy to have finished this HUGE THING. Well before Christmas even. I got a pair of shoes today as well, for [...]

I made this for dinner and it is badass. Only thing I’d do differently is I’d mix it up in the morning (or the night before) and have it ready to bake as soon as I got home, because the damn thing wasn’t done till 8:30. Me and my happy tummy are gonna go knit [...]

I finally cooked up the pumpkin last night, it’s been sitting in my fridge since Halloween. Cut out all the parts that had pen (from carving) or wax/smoke (from candle), roasted half, and pureed the other half. I have about 8000 recipes for pumpkin stuff, but if you’ve got any that are JUST THAT GOOD, [...]
It’s the place right across from my office. Their stuff is about average I guess, not bad, nothing to write home about. Pretty good. But holy shit they’re fast! They take your order pretty much right when you sit down (a lot of people are regulars and already know what they want) and today I [...]
