Sunday, I Liked You Today

Boyfriend + New shoes + Starbucks = Wonderful day! Is it really Sunday? Because Sundays are usually not my favourite. I tend to be very unproductive on this particular day. So, I am determined to do more. Visiting a cafe, heading to a library, exploring an ethnic food market, or even just spending more time with my family are all ways I'd love to spend a Sunday afternoon. Anything to evolve this once lazy, uneventful day, into a more fulfilling, meaningful day. And today was an excellent start to this. Granted, I had great company, so it may be hard to top ;)

 Oh, and I made delicious dinner to boot. Have a peak see! 

Festive Flavours

It's Thanksgiving weekend, and though it may look like it outside, it definitely doesn't feel like it. We hit 26 degrees yesterday! I was in flip-flops and a t-shirt all day. Fabulous! I've always dreaded the transition into fall, but if this becomes a yearly occurrence, my dread may transform into a lovely admiration.

While it is Thanksgiving, I will not be partaking in a turkey feast. Or shall I say "tofurkey"? Regardless of the primary protein, I will not be consuming it this year. Too much going on this weekend (dinner with friends, wedding, work) that won't allow me to partake. My family might do a belated dinner next weekend...maybe. We shall see.

But that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the delicious flavours of this holiday. For breakfast this morning I made a yummy bowl of pumpkin porridge with maple syrup. It was too festively delicious, I had to share it pronto! 

Local Explorations

Around the world in 14 days! That's right, Folklorama is in full swing and I intend to take full advantage of it this year. Adam and I even bought the family pack (they should really consider renaming that...) which will allow (push) us to visit 6 pavilions. Yesterday we went to the Ukraine, and witnessed some phenomenal dancing, tasted some delicious perogies, and listened to some traditional music. It was a great night. I had had a pretty depressing day, and convinced myself to stay home. But then my amazing boyfriend called me, and just hearing his voice changed my mood significantly. So I got out of bed, and had a lovely evening. :)

For our next trip, we'll probably go to the indo-paradise pavilion. Sounds exotic ;)

Well, for dinner this evening, in honour the worlds unique and numerous cultures, I decided to make a curry dish. I normally don't venture out and try "different" flavours, but I thought "What the heck!". And I'm glad I did! It was tasty, quick AND easy. Doesn't get much better then that. I'll definitely have to make more curry meals!
