curious is me

You know how they say curiosity killed the cat. Well... I am that cat, but not dead of course.

Honestly, what is my problem?

If you're gonna tell me you know something I can't know, I am better off not knowing that there is something I can't know. (phiouff...I hope you get that!)

"Come on", I say, "just tell me". I NEED TO KNOW!!

This phenomenon may explain why it's very difficult for me to be surprised. Because of my curiosity, I tend to be very attentive to small details.

The worst thing that can possibly exist is when you hear your name from far... Now my attention is devoted 100% to that conversation, no matter what! Good or bad, I NEED TO KNOW what they are talking about!!!

That's all for now.
Wait... I think I just heard my name! TTYL.

pici of the weeki 3

Hello my prittis.



I can't believe it's already that time again. Here is the pici of the weeki. I just love this picture! It's so much fun. I love the tones of the colours in this picture and just the quirkiness of it all. I really like the pink of the cotton candy and the striped bikini too :)





Thank you to Kim Vandermeer for submitting this picture :) Here is a link to her blog.
Kim is a talented photographer in Ottawa. I have done a photoshoot with her in the past!

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

me likey

I like this picture.

There is something about magazines that I love! I just skim through them and look at the pictures. My kind of magazine, is one with few words and loads of pictures... kinda like my blog :S

I told you in the beginning, I am not a writer. I just like expressing myself with pictures.

My life long dream would be to work for a magazine company... I'll keep you posted on my progress :)

What is your favorite magazine or cover?

As it turns out, they are selling this print in a frame at the store FRAMED on Bank street and Sunnyside. I wish I could afford it though :S

me love spending money-4

So yesterday on my lunch break I went antiquing! Read more about my adventures on this post.

But... this post is about spending money!! So here is what I bought for $25!!

You are probably thinking, why would you put a laundry board up as decoration. Because I think it's fabulous! That's why. The blue tones in the glass complement the blue in my shower curtain. Plus that wall was so empty... it was missing an accent piece!

So, do you like it? What's your favorite accent piece in your bathroom.

If you read this post, you will see the copper bucket that I want to get and fill with towels and toilet paper and place it under the hand towel.

Tell me what you think.

I am off to measure the space to see if it fits!

me a foodi 3

Hello my prittis.

I wanted to show you what I have been up to in my garden and food making science project.

Basically we have about 5 hot pepper plants growing; cherry bomb, banana pepper, red chilly pepper, jalapeno... WHAT DO I DO WITH ALL THIS HEAT???

I made a hot pepper oil... and I am so proud out it!

Improvisation is my favorite in the kitchen:

• garlic cloves
• hot peppers cut up with seeds
• bay leaves
  
• olive oil
• black pepper corns
• salt

The best part is that this oil serves as a double duty:

1. Deliciously flavored spicy oil, for salads or bread dipping
2. Marinated and flavored hot peppers

I'll let you know how it turns out.

me like pastry

On my last voyage to NYC, I went on a quest, a journey. I was, in search, for the best red velvet cake this concrete jungle had to offer!

I will tell this story with pictures- how else can I make you drool?

We got these cupcakes from Magnolia on Bleeker Street it was worth the wait! Although I am not eating the red velvet cupcake in this picture, I sure did have anothet serving later ;P

These cupcakes were made from a store bought package. They were still good, but not the taste I was looking for...

I tried the red velvet cupcake from Crumbs Bake Shop. It was very tasty, but too sweet from what I recall. Also the portions are really too big for a snack.

Alas! I found my one true love! The best cupcake I found was in a small little shed in SOHO. See that little red cabin behind me in the picture? That's the one! Perfect crumb, perfect taste, perfect moisture, perfect frosting. I wish I had the name and the address of this place. Basically he serves coffee, tea and snacks. This a series of pictures of me trying the cupcake...

And last but not least, my wedding cake.... it was half red velvet and half lemon poppyseed! I kept the top layer for our anniversary... it's RED VELVET!!!

I have tried the Starbucks red velvet cupcake too... let me save you $4. It was gross!! Not fresh and had a strange taste to it. Don't be fooled by it's good looks!

Note: Do not try this experiment at home. This may cause useless money being spent, diabetes, obesity and may stain your hands red.
