Airplane

At just about midnight Greg and I will be departing Edmonton to head to St. John's for Easter and birthday celebrations. We plan to eat fish and chips, drink in salt air, cut cake with my Grandma for her 80th birthday and catch up with family and friends. I'm quite looking forward to it!

As a result, this blog will be on hiatus for awhile.

However, before departing to munch on the last of my unagi roll, I thought I'd send you off with a list of things I'm enjoying right now.

1. Smutty Slice TV - I've been enjoying this channel for awhile. My top picks are The Real Housewives of Orange County and Millionaire Matchmaker.


2. Adventures in vino-land - For our joint birthday party, Greg and I received many lovely bottles of wine and champagne. I declared last night that our overflowing wine rack is plenty reason to indulge in an education lesson on wine. I'm hopelessly uneducated on the subject. We plan on finding recipes to match each type and to hold dinner parties with friends to explore the bottles. I'll post more on this as we delve into the project. If you're looking to explore wine too, begin with this cheese fry recipe to devour with salt and red wine or this tomato tarte tatin recipe to savour with a chilled white wine.

3. Jeannette Walls' The Glass Castle - I am thoroughly enjoying this book. Run to your library to pick it up now if you haven't read it already. I promise you will need to continually remind yourself that this is a memoir.


4. Carter Williamson Interiors (via Desire to Inspire) - These kitchens brighten my mood! I love the warm wood, clean lines, colourful art and light fixture.


5. Comfort Food - shortbread cookies with icing and grilled cheese sandwiches with old cheddar (image via Reader's Digest).

6. The Residential Interiors Program at the University of Alberta - I'm thinking of beginning the program during the evenings next fall.

7. These vintage bowling pins from Sweetshorn Vintage - Bowling is my favourite sport!

  1. Will you really take residential interiors? Even so, you are considering it? Good for you! Obviously, you'd be great at it!
