More taste of vacation

So yesterday we had a big day downtown and wanted to enjoy some foodtruck grub.

Now Dan has never tried food from a food truc and was really eager for the experience

We were there by 11:13 am. At around 11:25 they told people that they would be opening by 12:00 pm. Not Nice, if they say they will be there by 11:00 am I expect food soon after!

By 11:45 am we got news that they were waiting for a delivery and when they got it the pork would'nt be available for quite a while.....We had some appointment so off we went...

To Mr. Steer on Ste-Catherine st.

                                            This is definitely a Montreal classic.

                                            no 2 medium suzy ( a Steerburger cooked medium with suzie q fries)

                                             Of course you can get it with other stuff on it, like bacon, cheese,beans)
                                             My fave is just as is. An added bonus they renovated the place!
                                             After 30 years....for my taste it lacked personality....

                                             Oh well ! It  is what it is! Be well :)

Baking with Pyrex & Finds

I'm on vacation this week and it's a staycation or should I say paintcation?

When we painted the living room last year we never finished the second floor mezzanine. Since it's all connected it needs to flow no?

So we 're donating a lot of VHS tapes and CDs from the 90's. Does anyone remember Columbia House? How about Soundgarden? Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians

I also decided to get rid of all my Stephen King paperbacks (I'm sorry Stephen, you're still my fave author, I kept all the hardcovers, hugs Miss V :) )

And Dan got rid of all the Agatha Christie books...

 

My cocooning fall genes also kicked in big time!

I'm saving seeds, preserving foods and yearning of baked goods....

 

Speaking of baked goods; I really wanted a pumpkin bread and since there's big time calorie counting at Vonlipi' House of Pyrex....that is for another post, I turned to the internet for a recipe.

 

I got my recipe from Splenda's web site.

 

Now there are rumours on the blogosphere that I have every Pyrex known to men....That is simply not true! LOL

These are the only loaf pans I own; for now! I would very much love a Spring Flower Green one...sigh.

making the batter...

 

Just out of the oven....Pipin' hot

 

It was okay tasting....but I can't really judge the recipe because I just realized I made a major mistake!

 

I switched baking soda for baking powder!

 

So I can taste the soda!

 

I'll have to retry the recipe to give it a real chance....

 

Here's the link just in case...

 

Pumpkin Loaf

 

Now for some thrifting....

 

 

Now, now don't gasp!

I didn't find Pyrex casseroles.

I found cradles!

 

A small and a medium one (50 cents and 99 cents respectively).

They fit those utility dishes just fine but I'm wondering if they're really meant for each other....

 

Any ideas?

  

 

Let me know! Have a great night!

I hope I don't dream of paint, gutters and mactack!
