Are you looking for a bechamel based lasagna? Look no further. Seriously, this recipe from smitten kitchen, which she adapted, only a little, from Ina Garten, is delicious. I’ve made this lasagna twice. The first time, I made it for a girlfriend and followed the recipe, almost exactly. The second time, I made it for

If you know me well, you might know that I have only one phobia. And that is of time travel. Yes. I know. I can hear you stifling your giggle over there. But in all honesty, the whole idea of time travel just scares the be-jesus out of me. I can’t even really expand on
A few weekends ago we were going to a couple of our friends’ birthday party (yes, the plurals and possessives are right) and I just didn’t feel like drinking wine. Ever since dry January I’ve really cut back on my drinking. I rarely drink on week nights, but even more surprisingly, I tend to restrain
So… I thought I would stick with the same high contrast, bright blue sky colour scheme this week! It’s just so pretty! This picture was taken on January 11, 2009 in Christchurch, New Zealand. Remember way back at the beginning of this series when I posted a picture of Japanese moss right after the Japan
Last week I alluded to the fact that the “best of” series is becoming less of a weekly round up of the best blog posts on the web and more of a random occurrence when I see something (or some things) that I really really like. It’s still going to focus on super blog posts,
I’m not sure where you are from, but here it Toronto, it doesn’t feel much like spring. In fact it still feels like winter. Biting winds, sleet, snow, and days where it is 0C (32F). A few weeks ago, however, we had a couple of nice days, so I decided to celebrate the spring and
As you know, if you are a regular reader, or if you follow me on pinterest, I have a bit of a love affair with California. I’ve been lucky enough to have gone to California pretty much every year (except those years of travel) since I was a wee little baby. My grandparents have been
This photo was taken on June 24, 2008 in Santorini, Greece. Even though its from a totally different part of the world, don’t the colours remind you of this very first travel photo I posted, from Namibia? The bright bright blue sky and crisp white foreground just cries out to be photographed, I tell you.
As I’ve mentioned a few times, work’s been crazy and we just got back from a whirlwind weekend to New York [post coming soon(ish)]! I was quite impressed with myself for only being a day late with my ‘best of’ post this week. Quite impressed, that is, until I went looking for last week’s post
So, this isn’t a fashion blog (and unfortunately for you fashionistas out there, it never will be a fashion blog – frankly, I’m not fashionable enough!) But, this is a blog about stuff I love and stuff I do, and I LOVE our new vintage-y belt buckles and want to shout out to the etsy
If you follow my blog (and I hope you do!), you know I’ve been busy. Very busy. So busy that I’ve been the world’s worst blogger for the past couple of weeks :( I’m super sorry! Bear with me ok? It’s a combination of being at work until late, getting home, making dinner, and going
This photo was taken on July 15, 2008 at Plitvice National Park in Croatia. You know how a few weeks ago I told you I didn’t like Dubrovnik? Well, that dislike didn’t extend itself to the rest of Croatia. Nope, there were lots of places I loved in Croatia; especially Plitvice. Just look at it!
I love you still. I miss you. I’m so so so busy at work and at home that I haven’t found the time to write. I haven’t forgotten you. I haven’t abandoned you. I’ll try to write more this week, I promise.
It’s Friday, Friday! Cue Rebecca Black: This Friday is extra good since it has been another one of those weeks. Hopefully, this weekend I’ll get a chance to get caught up on life (piles of laundry, unopened mail, and a dishwasher full of clean dishes that has been waiting to be emptied since Wednesday), and
This beautiful photo was taken on September 22, 2008 in the Okavango Delta in Botswana. This is the kind of African sunset that dreams are made of.
