| Work is non-stressful but still managing to keep me awake at night thinking about shit, why do i care!!?? It is winter storm here, 30cm of light fluffy snow in the cold, bad visibility on the roads and people sliding around, kids home from school etc. I spent the weekend baking and getting drunk at a party on sat night, possibly not the wisest move there. Baking rocks, I made baklava, truffles and Marshmallows. Marshmallows are like the most fun things to make in the world, when you mix them, they get to the chemical reaction point then just explore and double in volume, so much fun! Meanwhile our cat was behaving very oddly last week, doing a weird wiggle dance on the floor, mewing oddly and stuff. It is possible that she was displaying on heat behaviour, though she didn't spray anything..... she is supposed to be spayed! So not sure whats going on there. | | |
| Haven't really been up to much recently. Dan has been spending many hours working on our truck, which is now starting to actually resemble a truck again and not just a frame. I got to fly up the coast to a First Nations northern community for work, which is a different world entirely! I took some photos of the swampy James Bay Coast Scenary on the way up: 
Me and the cat have been bonding while I've been researching holiday stuff for our cruise trip in the caribbean in just over 3 weeks. The cat, I have found loves treats and will now sit on my lap and be all cute while I'm watching TV etc. Speaking of the Devil cute cat pic: 
This morning I got up at 5.30am to go round to Dan's Brother in laws just out of town to watch the Leonid Meteor Shower. I woke up the nephew and we stood out in the middle of the field trying to spot the shooting stars amid the cold clear nights sky full of stars. | | |
| Planning another trip in May A friend is going to be visiting NY and Boston on her way to the UK, so we have to drive down and meet her. So sometime in May we maybe driving this route http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Timmins,+ON,+Canada&daddr=toronto+to:Ithaca,+Tompkins,+New+York,+United+States+to:State+College+to:Boston,+MA,+USA+to:Timmins,+ON,+Canada&hl=en&geocode=Fcmv4wIdtOom-ynNP81R3aU8TTF2nOr-aun4dw%3BFdlamgIdfadE-ynTVA9UrjQriDFPxT1snM6Gxw%3BFbSXhwIdIcFw-yktdZxteIHQiTH52fP6uxyxwg%3BFRW6bwIdSE5c-yln61n4M6LOiTEPFZzFIF0G9A%3BFZ9WhgIdw7bD-ykbMT0NLWXjiTGg6GIBJL98eA%3BFcmv4wIdtOom-ynNP81R3aU8TTF2nOr-aun4dw&mra=pe&mrcr=1,2&sll=44.590467,-76.35498&sspn=11.015391,19.665527&ie=UTF8&ll=44.43378,-76.574707&spn=11.044863,19.665527&z=6 | | |
| I really need to cook Indian Food more often, I just tried my hand at one of my favourite dishes: Agloo Sag otherwise known as spinach and potato curry. It's a simple spices in pan with chopped garlic and chilli, add semi/mostly-cooked potatoes, add fresh spinach stir for a bit till spinach reduces and serve. I served it with Naan Bread and natural yogurt. So good!
Anyway while we were chowing down I realised that this was probably the first vegetarian dish that we had prepared and ate together at home, and it was super tasty and not lacking anything. I will probably continue the trend once every week or so just for bugetary reasons!
Also I'm glad that I actually have a tasty vege and easily vegan option in my cooking repitoire for when people come visit in Feb! | | |
| So to try and motivate myself to actually record details of my various big trips and travels, I have decided to take part in NaNoWriMo. Now technically it is for fictional writing but hey rules are meant to be broken!
So instead of spam my regular blog with 2000 words a day I've created a dreamwidth account, also Xanga's editing system for images in particular was beginning to irritate me.
So starting tomorrow I shall begin to write the tale of my epic road trip with friends from Timmins, Ontario to San Diego for Comic Con 2009.
