{Finished sauce, on pasta with meatballs with blue cheese.} I love Sundays. The BF and I usually spend it cooking, cleaning and generally relaxing around home. This Sunday we decided to make a whole whack of pasta sauce to freeze. Apparently this was THE thing to do because when we got to the grocery store …
tulip love. {part two.}
Last week, I took a bunch of photos of tulips because there is an amazing variety in our neighbourhood right now. Here is part two of that series. They just mean that we're hopefully getting closer and closer to summer!
small joys.*
1. A chocolate cupcake with raspberry frosting from Terra. Enjoyed on a sunny day on Granville Island. A perfect beginning to summer (even if summer hasn't really begun yet). 2. Cute new shoes that came on Tuesday. I've been lusting after these bad boys for several weeks. 3. The only thing better than flowers are …

Do some reading, talk to your peers and get thee to a voting station. {Update: I saw quite a few people actually high-five …

1. I tried making these sweet potato biscuits for brunch on Saturday and they turned out really well! 2. The bathroom is finally almost back to normal.
