I saw the SUN

I was greeted by this beautiful sight earlier this week

Just was is it?

It is the sun

                                            This is one of the most beautiful pieces of art I've ever seen

                                            It is all made of blown glass, every piece of it.

                                      I found it so breathtaking I cried. Right in the middle of Sherbrooke street.

                                     It was created by Dale Chihuly from Seattle.

                                      Thank you.

Pyrex in Action!

This morning I had
to take my cereal Tupperware to carry soup for lunch so I just shoved the granola in a zipper bag.

But wait a minute! I didn't have a bowl at the office....Pyrex to the rescue!

But just what is that murky stuff inside???

 

It is flax granola with thawed blueberries and rice milk

It is actually quite good.

 

Needless to say that I locked my Pyrex Gooseberry in my desk! LOL

 

(it is a slow Friday night when all there is to watch on tv is The Phantom Menace and Triple D! Guess which one I'm watching)

 

Thrifted!!!

Last Saturday was one of 3 garage sale dates where I lived. We had discussed having one, but were too tired.

So when you're not having one, what do you do??? You hop in the car in search of goodies!

We didn't find much...

A cool UK flag tray for 50 cents.

 

 

 

A cool Tiki glass and an unopened package of Xmas paper napkins SWEET!

 

We also bought an unopened bicycle cover and a new human powered lawn mover for $10.

They usually sell for $100 plus.

 

so all and all we were satisfied with our morning.

 

Sleep tight!  

Anyone Interested?

Hello friends!

On this beautiful Tuesday night I'm blogging and watching the finale of DWTS.

Do you have favorites? Personally, I'm rooting for Kellie and Derek. we'll see...

Allie and Mark just got eliminated...Stress!

I'm still in the process of purging, it can be very frustating as it can be a very slow and tedious and emotional process.

So here's the latest offering

 

 

Early American 2 1/2 quarts casserole

 

Super nice condition

 

free if you want it, you just have to fork up the shipping charges

 

My bedtime is nearing, so I must go

 

Be well bloggy friends I hope to post real soon

It's all beef!

By now you probably know that I get a kick out of shopping in ethnic groceries, specially oriental ones.

One of my fave is in Verdun on Wellington street, I have no idea of its name. And in fact is is more than an oriental grocery, it is also a latino and african grocery that catters to a large immigrant population in Verdun.

So it is a bonanza of exotic, cool stuff!

The meat is very fresh and as a matter of fact I buy pork for stirfrys that is really lean and delicious.

Here's what I saw the other in the meat counter...

 

the tag says viande de boeuf (beef meat). Yes it is, but it is

really beef heart.

 

More beef meat (viande de boeuf)

looks like beef, but what cut is it?

 

 

What is this? Beef tail? no clue but it is still called viande de boeuf

(beef meat). Funny no?

 

I won't be buying the last cut anytime soon, because I have no idea what to do with it....

But I could go for the second .

 

Have you seen interesting things in grocery stores lately? 

 

 

Inspiration

I love browsing in stores.

Most of the times I don't even buy anything, I love to see the colors, the new wares...

 

I get a kick of window shopping at Anthropologie

 

 

                                                      OOOH purple glasses!

                                                     Fancy scented candles

As much as I love to browse at Anthropologie I say to them: What's up with those sizes???

How come a XL in your world is really a M in real life? How come you sell skimpy shorts for $68, and skinny coloured jeans for $98??? And howabout a pair of salad thongs for $38????

What distressed me even more is that this company is owned by Urban Outfitters. YIKES!

(Urban Outfitters sells fun stuff at an ok price but crappy clothes at inflatted prices.

I don't think I'll loose enough weight to EVER fit in their clothes! Too bad, I,ll spend my money elsewhere!

What happened to Spring?

Truly I have no idea!

Less than 3 weeks ago we had snow on the ground, 2 weeks ago I was wearing a winter coat....

This week I'm running trying to find my summer clothes!

But I found time for my numero uno get ready for nice weather ritual! A pedicure! Homemade but a pedicure nevertheless.

So I would be ready to waer my brand new summer shoes

They are turquoise and totally fab!

 

Who doesn't love turquoise?

 

Be well!
