I was invited to dinner at Adam and Kyla’s tonight. I brought dessert. I made Peanut Butter Cup Cookies and Pretzel Turtles. Both turned out really great. I didn’t make any changes at all as baking is a bit unfamiliar to me, but I did make enough to have lots leftover. My coworkers will [...] December 13th, 2011
Katy and I were masters in the kitchen tonight. It started with Beef and Roasted Red Pepper Sandwiches. I just happened to have some home-roasted red peppers, naturally. These turned out deliciously and were consumed with the jus served from Royal Worcester Evesham Gold small bowls. I have leftover sandwiches for tomorrow–mmm. We then [...] December 7th, 2011
The espresso wars have begun. I decided to try out the Tim Hortons latte and the McDonalds latte to compare them to Starbucks. Now, it’s true that I am a loyal Starbucks customer so it is possible there is some bias here, but I did approach each vendor with an open mind. I’ll start [...] October 30th, 2011
Last weekend I was in Toronto for the CN Tower Climb. It was meant to be an exciting event to do cooperatively with Will and his girlfriend, however plans changed at the last minute and I ended up doing the climb alone. But Erin and Cathie were at the top to cheer, and that [...] October 30th, 2011
It’s +1 out right now (9 am). I am going to be motorcycling to church today. Then it’s off to Lululemon to pick up my pants, and Starbucks to add another star to my collection. I am 7 stars and am 4 days behind on 30 stars in 30 days. I remain hopeful that [...] October 27th, 2011
Oh, Internet. If only you could see me now. Water circles on the knees of my jeans, damp socks, and pruning fingers; tools strewn about, nuts and bolts, and spare parts surround me. I am fixing a toilet. I have rebuilt one toilet since I moved in and am working on the second. In [...] October 17th, 2011
The PEC marathon was a disaster. Personally, I wasn’t prepared and it showed. In retrospect I don’t know how I pulled Ottawa off so well. Around 29 km I decided to stop my pace. My first half was a respectable 1:50-ish. From 29 it was quite down hill. I walked many kilometres in the [...] September 27th, 2011
This Sunday is the PEC Marathon. I’ll be the only one I know running. It has an 8am start time, which should put me in at the finish around noon. I’m in no rush, as I have already beat my marathon goal for the year. I think it will be cool just to finish [...] September 25th, 2011
Hey there, Internet. Long time no see. If I try to catch up I’ll miss loads of stuff, so I won’t bother. I’ve decided to try to make my home more homely. I believe a new TV and a couch for the basement are in order. I am not the best at selecting couches. [...] |
