how many years

i can't remember the number of years it's been since i've had a meal at mcdonald's. before today, that is. today, the counter resets at zero.

duck duck goose

lulu's new toy looks like a mallard but honks like a goose. it sounds a little like truffle's honk.

pumpkin

fascinated with pumpkin this season. baking with it, cooking with it, wearing it. the colour that is.

bannock

vince and i went to bannock for lunch! this brand new oliver & bonacini restaurant offers an interesting selection of canadian comfort food. bannock does not take reservations for lunch so we headed there early at 11:30 - we were one of the only tables there at that time but the restaurant filled up shortly afterward. the food was good - perfect portion sizes and very comforting.



{ day 245 | fri sep 02 | iphone 3gs | hipstamatic 221 | helga viking | ina's 1969 | no flash }

we ordered the clearwater lobster roll, the blt bannock, and the bannock poutine. mmm! the fresh juice was particularly delish! i had intended to bring my slr but naturally i forgot so i had to resort to taking photos with my iphone.

autumn approach

if autumn did not so accurately predict winter, it would be my favourite season. wow that sentence was awkward. but no less true. i love everything about autumn - getting my hair cut, stocking up on chunky sweaters, transitioning to rich plum nail polish, and gathering recipes for hearty soups and stews. i love the refreshingly clean air, the colour of the trees, and the anticipation of change. if only i could remain blissfully unaware of winter, lurking right around the corner, threatening to pounce.

pumpkin pie

we opened a huge can of pumpkin for lulu but, since there's no way she could eat it all, i had to make two pumpkin pies for us. yes, i love my puppy that much.

the clouds today

although it might appear otherwise, i have not started a cloud theme for my three sixty five. yet.

this is just one of those (many) days when i look at the sky in the morning and exclaim to vince, "look at the clouds today!" seriously, it happens more than you would ever believe possible.

a sign

as i took a closer look at the little booklet sent to me by scientific american, i realized that it was a sign. we had been trying to decide where to go for our vacation next year. yes, the booklet was definitely a sign that we should finally go to the galapagos islands. and so we will!

vince and i went to ruth's chris steakhouse to celebrate my birthday. since my birthday is in may, it was a little late. but still, there was confetti on the table, we got a free slice of birthday cake, and the waiter snapped a birthday photo for the restaurant website. our faces were red because it was HOT in there.



here we are back to normal. erg, well as normal as we can be.

love affair with the sky

instead of an abstract three sixty five next year, i'm thinking of doing a sky-themed three sixty five. i keep going back to the sky as my subject. it's been a lengthy love affair already.

vince, lulu, and i were heading to a lil doggers meetup but i messed up on the meeting time (hey, i was only off by 3 hours!) so we decided to take a pit stop at casa loma. we didn't go inside but we hung out for a lil bit in the front gardens and took photos like tourists.






i think lulu had fun. look at her smile!
