im full 24.7

breakfast!  had a guest for breakfast and attempted (attempted!!) a new recipe.

lemon zest ricotta pancakes w. fresh blueberry sauce
pepper hasbrowns
chili scrambled eggs

its hard to make pancakes.  my dish pile is taller than me. i'm not slowing down.

last pic: jul and my breakfast dooooodles.  aka.  what you do when you should be doing something else.

(too) late dinner / to sleep or eat? uhhh.. eat.

mismatched dinner but yum.  everything surprisingly turned out to be quite good.  yes!  i am trying to learn how to cook without disclaimers.  its hard. time for bed. mmm. mmm.

tomato basil rice
szechuan wasabi green beans
breaded tofu w. warm honey dijon

i might make spaghetti for breakfast.

lifeplans / food plans

"we could start to sell all of our posessions.  including your clothes.  write some bad cheques, hitch-hike to europe and be in spain within the month.  i heard all they do is eat and drink..."

the five minute breakfast.

when you are behind on everything in life.

garlic + pepper potato wedges
spinache
egg in rye bread with hot sauce

kalypso

such a great meal on robson today.  haven't been downtown in a while.  we also managed to score some free soda on burrard and georgia today.  ha ha! kind of craving kalamata...

our waitress was nice.

our order:
greek salad x 2- tomatoes (1)
pita + balsamic (overwhelmed by the olive oil)(-)
the vegetarian platter: moussaka, spanakopita, roasted potatoes, rice pilaf, tzatziki
dolmades platter-dolmades with roasted potatoes, rice pilaf and tzatziki
sangria

it was yummy, and we were hungry.  sangria sangria sangria! 

T.E.D. talks inspired this meal

southwest breakfast burritos : whole wheat shell, soy meat, avocado, whole corn, jalapeno pepper, red pepper, orange pepper, onion, egg, hot sauce= yum

yam + yellow potato + red onion hashbrowns = too salty, i need to learn to control salt and spice.  they were almost unedible.  :(

i think i'm going out for dinner tonight!

grilled cheese truck

grilled cheese: cream cheese, hot red pepper, jalapeno pepper, mozza cheese, cheddar, spinach, chili flakes on rye bread = easy and yum.  i need a grill.
  

victoria day dinner. full tummies.

trying out some new recipes.  experienced some stressful failure, but overall was happy with the outcome of the meal.

cranberry olive bread with homemade garlic butter (paprika, chili, parm)
spicy bean salad served cold
vegetarian sweet and sour meat(?)balls - had some trouble but tasted quite good.  Should of used croutons rather than freshish bread crumbs.  martha stewart said i had options. 
fresh pesto + toasted almond vermicelli

no money. home cooking? food envy.

had a very unfortunate weekend, but only because of the lack of dining.  however, managed to whip up a pretty fine steak for a friend.  the second steak i've ever prepared.  lime+chili+ black pepper marinade.  apparently it wasn't too shabby. + pasta (meh)  but what isn't good with whiskey.  anybody want to take me to dinner tomorrow? brunch even?  please? your treat?

the libra room (last week)

good female musicians, saturday -  i think (jazzy pants, and trumpet!)  we should go again soon.  real romantic in a commercial drive kind of way.  wait...

our order:

1516 lager
nachos
calamari
white bean puree.
