Peas in a pod

A friend of mine works in a small museum and wanted a pea-shelling station.

A spot where kids could shell peas.

So I made a bunch of crocheted peas and pods for her. They turned out really well!

Donuts

What's better than donuts? FREE donuts! These are care of Romers, who give you free donuts if you fill out a survey. Perfect!

Craft nights

Me and a few friends have started craft night. We get together and someone teaches a craft or we learn something new together. We have done two nights so far, where I have taught the others how to crochet. We also ate, drank, and caught up a lot. My friend Mel hosted the last one; here is her sweet daughter playing some piano for me.

We had belated birthday celebrations for Mel too. LOOK at this cake!!

And Cosmo the Dog also joined in on the fun. Don't let his laid-back picture of him fool you.

Noodle date

Me and my hubs have discovered the Noodlebox on Main and Broadway. The portions are so big, we can split a dinner between the two of us and be stuffed!

I took my mom  the other night, and we split a pad Thai. I love that there's a fountain of plain or sparkling water. Did you know I love fizzy water? I do! So does my mom.

Random treats

It's Friday, time to post about dessert! Hello donuts!

And LOOK at these cute butt cookies, made by my friend Ranae of Something Sweet Patisserie!

This isn't sweet, but still a treat. Hot and yummy focaccia slices, mmm!

Have a nice, long, Easter weekend, everyone!

Hello chilli

My husband made chilli in the slow cooker and it was DELISH! Especially with a little beer on the side :)

Dessert

It's the best part of dinner, isn't it?! Happy Monday!

Breakfast, I love you

Hello beautiful.

Birthday

Twas my birthday yesterday! I started if off with having cake for breakfast.

Then it was a busy day of rehearsals but look, we got some blue skies in the afternoon.

Then I finished it off with free breakfast for dinner, from Denny's!

I have such different birthday priorities as I age - mostly they revolve around food!

Halloween Leftovers

I had Halloween leftovers for breakfast this morning.

And I got some mini chocolate bars in the mail!

And look, a fun jack-o-lantern care of my sis.

Donut

EXTREME CLOSE UP OF A DONUT!

 

(That is all.)

Autumn

It's official fall in Vancouver! Here is a pumpkin whoopee pie and a creamy Americano. Mmmm.

Breakfast

My momma packed me breakfast today - so you know it's gonna be a good day. Happy weekend, all!

Weekend eats

Good morning. Here are some pictures of things I ate this weekend. Very important stuff, I tell ya.

I used my stove for the first time since moving in. Mmm meaty, cheesy pasta goodness.

We now live 2 blocks away from a Dairy Queen. #help #dangerous

It was pouring rain most of the weekend. Which means coffee inside while it's drippy outside. 

Staying fit

I haven't made a lot of time for Zumba lately. Also, three of my favourite teachers have either moved away or changed teaching locations! But I got some new shoes, and hopefully they will inspire me to go to class more regularly. I managed to get to a class last week, and it was so sweaty and good!

Here's a picture of a yummy yogurt parfait, to help me eat better when I can't get to class.

Cake

It's Friday, the weekend is here! I wish you good times! Treat yourself, perhaps with CAKE!

Night Market

We went to check out the night market in Richmond again. The last time I went was almost 2 years ago, when I purchased the rotato. Ah, what a thing of beauty!

This year my mom got some mango stein and lichees.

It looks like she's haggling over the price, but really, she's just paying!

I didn't get the rotato, because the line up was so long. I did stand in line for corn. You get a little corn voucher while you wait.

Look! Corn corn corn! So worth the wait!

Lunch

This was lunch the other day - salmon and quinoa. YUM!

Comfort Treats

I have received many treats from friends and co workers - look at this! A little chocolate, gluten free cupcake. I planned to eat half and save some for my hubby but, well, see if you can guess how that went...

And I got this treat:

Banana chocolate loaf, made by my friend's 9 year old son! He's quite the baker, it was delish!

Ah beer!

(that is all)
