May 8 and 9

This Saturday Steph and I went to the first farmer's market of the summer season in trout lake (or whatever), we found a couple things, but since it was such a gorgeous day we went to the market.

First we mowed down on bagels,

walked around, took some pictures

and I bought some live spot prawns from The Lobster Man, it was the first week of the season.

The next day was Mother's day

we ate gluten free muffins mom loves

We also had fruit salad and baked eggs with some fresh herbs and ash ripened goat cheese from oyoma, but we devoured it before I remembered the camera.

Then on sunday night Shane and I went to the mexican restaurant Gringos. They had these perfect sized corinitas!

May 6th and 7th

I started planting my garden on the 7th, i'll post a bunch of pictures another day, maybe tonight even.

Erin came over on Thursday, I made her (and me) this: lemon sea salt focaccia, which was nice

we also had, sticky lemon chicken, easy orzo salad, and fiddleheaads (just sauteed)

for desert I made east strawberry turnovers with rhubarb icecream

earlier in the day I made eccles cakes, they were only okay

lastly, a couple days later I made these really really good chocolate chip cookies!

They were so good! they rival my 36 hour cookies and they are ready so much sooner, this time I made them 3oz instead of 4

April was all about...our wedding.

An amazing April 6th, a 24 hour travel period, a shiny new iPod and beautiful pearls. A wonderful honeymoon with sweet and frothy drinks. A smelly puppy and tanned skin, a few warm spring days at last!

Yesterday was: a quick to granville island trip, a warm rainy night, dense cinnamon rugelach, the intoxicating scent of fresh bread and pork, and burgers at hells kitchen

Dec 31

Yesterday was: Fresh olibollen, dreary day, a warm blanket, tv marathons, sourpuss martini and a pizza celebration and my first olive.
