Good evening peeps. Did you eat anything tasty today? I sure did.

Cream cheese toast and orange splash water

I had the best apple ever - free from the bistro

It deserved to wear Lindsay's tiara for a minute.

My friend JF, who just spent 3 weeks in Japan and who is awesome, brought me back two green tea Kit Kat bars.


The coffee machine exploded on me and a few other innocent tea drinkers who were just waiting around to fill their cups with hot water. Imagine the look of this cup times 256 and you'll get the effect it had on my shirt. And shoes. And face.


Then it was time for lunch.

Yesterday's BBQ and rice leftovers, tomatoes, yogourt and Kit Kat, Diet Coke ($1.25)





Bite from Jessica's Bubblegum Kit Kat

Yeah, JF brought candy for a bunch of us. Told you he's awesome.

The bistro had rosemary biscuits for snack time.


I opted for chips and a soda ($2.50)


Dinner was easy as 1-2-3.

My mom's lentils and some cheesy bread

Delicious and comforting, like anything your mother cooks just for you.

Piece of Amazing Apple Pie

I'm telling you, I should enter this pie in a contest. It is ribbon-worthy.

Food log: Sunday, October 4

Woke up late after a weird night of weird dreams, which I won't go into right now, because what is more boring than having to hear about someone else's dreams?

Instead I'll tell you about what I ate today.

It started with my AM Diet Coke, to wake me up from those dreams I won't bore you with. Ok, it involved kayaking away from a bear, but I won't tell you more.


My brother came to meet us at the loft then we all went to Les Cabotins, a really kooky restaurant 5 minutes away from my place. Step-dad was treating us all to brunch. Thanks, Richard!

OJ at Les Cabotins

Mom enjoyed hers.


Croissant and cretons at Les Cabotins


Fruit salad at Les Cabotins

Bro was thinking about bacon and wondering why he was getting fruit.


Florentine eggs on vol-au-vent shells with veggies and fruit at Les Cabotins

Bro gave me his delicious baked beans.


The coffee refills where served in a Thermos. The salt and pepper shakers were shaped like animals. Kooky, I tells ya!



Brunch at Les Cabotins is $17.

Back home, I made that pie I didn't have time for last night. Since I've been having a Carl Sagan fixation ever since this awesome song  came out, I used this recipe . It. Is. AMAZING.


I had a piece right away as well as some cheese tartines and pickles.



Dinner was BBQ pork with some stir-fried rice, all made at home



And of course, another piece of pie.

Because it is AMAZING.

Food log: Saturday, October 3

Today was clean the loft day. I've been too busy to even take the recycling down to the bins so it was much needed. Plus, Mom and Richard (her lovely husband) were coming around for dinner before going to the opera (they are from Quebec City and are crashing at my place). I woke up super early and really famished.

Waffles with honey


Peanut butter tartine


Miniature Joe Louis cake

Check out those cutie. I bought them for bento lunches, but could not resist eating one right away.

The grocery was delivered around 10am - $173



Egg sandwich, tomatoes, pickles and Diet Coke

And yes, I have a hamster on my glass and it is awesome.

Pita with tofu spread and Diet Coke


Piece of cheese grabbed while cooking


Richard showed up with some yummy wine, a good cheese and some baguette. I made otsu and a salad.








They loved the otsu! In fact, they raves about it. It was as good as the last time. I could not get a picture of them where they were not stuffing their faces!




The cheese was delicious, a perfect ending.



Perrier citron was gulped by all before mom and Richard grabbed their coats and zoomed to the opera.

Now I want to bake a pie to surprise them when they come back!

Yummy Link

Loblaws testing candy-free checkout. Parents of the world rejoice.  

Food log: Friday, september 25

The morning started swiflty. I had to eat a big breaky and push on, as we had a big/long presentation in the morning. It went great!

Baguette with cheese, chocolate milk from Pasta Café - $5.05

Lunch was a hearty meal filled with joy and joyness. I think I am still digesting it.
Soup, cheese ravioli, bread, apple crumble, orange juice - $6

Then it was Snacks in the Bistro Time!


I opted for fresh fruit (free) and Diet Coke from the vending machine ($1.25)




Back home, the night called for Gin & Tonics, chips and corn dogs.





What?

Yummy vid

Spanglish is a very lame movie, but it has a great foodie moment, where Adam's Sandler's character prepares the best-looking BLT-egg sandwich ever. It was created by chef Thomas Keller, of Bouchon and French laundry fame. Watch the vid to learn how to make one for yourself tonight!
