Seen around

Life is pretty good right now.

I try my very best to do everything right at work, 

to cook light, healthy and low salt....

But I must confess...it is not always a success...

last night I cooked a supper that tasted of nothing even if I put effort in it!

OH WELL! LOL 

IT HAPPENS!

 Look closely ....the 2 whippets have onesies...

WORD

 This bowl is so sad....

I did not bring it home

 Found a new friend for my pink friend....

The pink one is vintage. The green one came originally from 

the dollarsatore was priced at $1.50...the sticker was on the bottom

but I got her at Goodwill (Renaissance) for 75 cents

so a win for me!

So this picture I did not bother turning because sometimes a girl

is just tired....

This is a mold/casserole that I found in one of my Dad's crate

Someone identified it on Facebook but I forgot the name...

I am in a weird place mentally...I don't know why or how

Have a great night peeps

hugs to all!

Thrifty Goodness

One of my fave grocery store is the kookiest or one of the kookiest in Montreal.

My Dad calls it the dirty grocery, I've called it many names....but in fact it has no real official name outside. The sign says 'épicerie' or grocery store.

I know its real name but cannot say it....It is one of Montreal's best kept secret!

If you can get past the smell (Dried salted cod), the chaos and the noise....you will be rewarded with thrifty goodness.

The produce can be fabulous, or past its prime and sometimes they don't have red bell peppers....

I go there with a list, but rarely buy all that is written on it. Because you never know what deals you will find!

Here is some of the goodies i got today.

The Cracker Barrel cheese was $1.99 for 250g (about 8 ounces)

That is a DYNAMITE deal!

The cheese expires in 16 days....

The butternut squash was a dollar a pound, so it came to $1.06 

And the Oka cheese , was $1.49 for 100g (3.5 ounces)

The company introduced the sliced version of this iconic Quebec

cheese maybe a year ago. I saw it first at my local Maxi & Cie

(Canada's Superstore) and it was $6.99 for a big package, don't know the weight

but this cut of cheese has been MIA ever since.

It smells of feet and is amazing on toast!

  I also bought an eggplant ($1.11), 3 zucchinis ($1.07) and a

red pepper for .57cents

With the veggies I made a pig pot of ratatouille.

Eggplant,zucchinis,onion,garlic,red pepper and tomatoes....LOVE!

I also add basil, S&P and some Johnny's seasoned salt

It will be sooo good with Italian sausages
