It must be my love for food that draws me to blogs about food.  Seeing the colourful plates of scrumptious meals, snacks, and patries really inspires me to take a dive and try new things.  I'd say a grand amount of the blogs I follow share a recipe or two (or dozens!) of their favourite dishes.

Ai has days and days full of yummy dishes she photographs and eats.  I'll have to muster my courage and ask her for some recipes one day.


I found Bounjour! through Feildguided.  Though I can't eat eggs as much as they are good for me (they make me a little nauseous -__-) I can imagine this dish for brunch with a small group of friends.



Last, but not least, I've been a huge fan of louveciennes' breakfast series for quite some time now.  Her dishes are lustworthy.  Seeing them reminds me that I really do want to thrift more for tea cups and saucers.

I hope I have inspired you to take a peek at this lovely ladies and their tasty treats.  I am very, very excited for my weekend breakfast now.

I've been away for a bit dealing with a long time cold.  It took a bad turn for me, so I had to get myself into a walk-in.  Good thing I did too!  I'm feeling much more spunky and back to myself.

I spent the night out with a friend hoping to cheer her up.  We had a nice stroll around Scarborough Town Centre with some frozen yoghurt. (mine was a chai tea inspired one!)  She brought me my cute knee-high socks from the group order we did too.  I can't wait for spring to wear them with skirts, but I'm trying to find a way to pair them in for winter too.  Any ideas?

I finally finished up my cowl.  Poor thing was started in September.

Sadly, I hurt my hands while knitting and have to be much more careful.  Knitting fourteen rows in one night is not all to good an idea when cold, snowy weather is passing over head.  I took the day away from work to recover as I can't pick up anything very heavy.   You'd be surprised how heavy a full urn of coffee is!

My next project will take much more longer as it's a gorgeous sweater for Spring.   Now all I have to find to really finish up this cowl is a nice brooch pin.  This one is very cute.

One of the main goals I have set out for myself this year is to read more.  I started with one that I had on my list for ages, but couldn't find in any used bookshop around.  The Perks of being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

I know why now.
It's amazing.  It brought me back to Highschool in a good way.  I wish I had a great English teacher in school that challenged me with books to read.  I did have one that enjoyed the macabre and poetry as much as I did though, so I guess that's alright.
