They Don't Care About Us

Michael! Michael! We miss you.

I wish the media would have left you alone so that we could have heard gems like this till the end.

Marmite Love

I have always had an insane craving for all things salty, spicy, and sour (someday I will tell you about my pickle fetish, or my S&M relationship with kim chi, or how many extra hot pepperettes I am embarassed to consume in a day). Other people love cupcakes, I love all things strange and savoury.

(I recently named the groundhog who lives on our property Polskie Ogorki, and I think if I ever got into meditation, UMAMI would be my chant word. UMAAAAMI UMAAAAMI.)

This morning, I made my idea of heaven on a plate: my new favourite breakfast is an open-faced toasted sesame bagel with a runny overeasy egg on either face, both bagel and egg slathered with MARMITE (a present from my sister who currently lives in the land of Marmite-lovers). A slight touch of sweet under the egg was the secret ingredient - a few very small dabs of President's Choice Spicy Szechuan Peanut Sauce rounds out the flavour and gives it a heavenly oomph.

Ooo, yeah. MArMIte, baby.

Facehunter June Crush

Have I mentioned how much I love street style? This was taken in Antwerp, Belgium.
I think I travel first for the food, second for the people-watching.

Yard Sale Bloodbath

I have always loved yard/garage sales, and they have become so important in my life for stocking my homes and closets. B and I have moved 9 times in 4 years and it is always heartbreaking how much we have to end up throwing out, so we always try to put off buying a household item until we absolutely have to, and when we do, we scour the yard sales and sidewalks first. So what a fantastic theme blog I encountered in Yard Sale Bloodbath! As well as a motto to live by that couldn't capture my sentiments better.

FYI, I always love hearing about awesome yard sale finds, so leave a comment and tell me about the last awesome thing you found!

Check out Jenny's free bag of hands. GOLD.

I always wanted one of these...

... the blackboard door, I mean, not the baby (though she is cute). A Friday picnic would be awesome too.

What every absent-minded professor-in-training needs to not forget the milk again.

Apron Dress

I've been looking for a breezy dress with big POCKETS all summer long. (Who wants to carry a bag when you can dance around, free as a bird?) Finally Bleubird Vintage has one in the works, coming soon. Can't wait.

Critical Mass St Catharines!

This is where I will be today.
Join us in your own town the last Friday of every (warm) month, 5:30pm.
This is not a protest, but an opportunity for cyclists to use their legal right to the streets in the safety of critical mass. It's a celebration of bikes!

Info for St. Catharines Critical Mass here.
