Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
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. I just have to paint another coat and then the landlord will come and put the mirror back up. No more dust! 3. An organized dresser top. Something …
1. Raspberry frozen yoghurt with real frozen raspberries pressed through it. Hello summer! 2. Knitted flowers in a shady planter on Salt Spring. How cute are they?! 3. Nick made us a very delicious lunch of salmon and veggies on Saturday. We had a little Salt Spring Island wine to wash it down and ate …
1. My parents had a short layover in Vancouver on their way to Hawaii. Just long enough for a pint and a catch up. It was so great to see them, but I must admit, it made me miss them more! Can't wait to see them again at the end of next month. 2. Bought …
1. This delicious dinner from last night that Nick made. Salmon rolls and pho-style soup with udon noodles and prawns. An awesome accompaniment to Anthony Bourdain's Medium Raw, which I am currently reading. 2. I finally got a haircut yesterday, something I had been meaning to do for weeks. 3. We got given tickets to …
1. I bought this ampersand on a trip to Seattle in February from Anthropologie. This week it got moved to a perch on our headboard. I love the metal with the lamp against the blue wall. Free interior design fix? Awesome. 2. As part of my new season resolution to pay a bit more attention …
1. The cherry trees are in bloom everywhere. 2. A long Saturday bike ride with Nick that finished with a Granville Island Winter Ale and fish and chips across from this sculpture (called A-maze-ing Laughter). It is part of the Vancouver Biennale and is on Denman at Davie. Made me want to go see them all. …
1. A sleepy cat, on a sunny balcony. 2. Leftover pie for breakfast this morning. Leftover from an impromptu party we had last night. 3. Gorgeous lilies against the blue of our bedroom wall. Nick bought them for me on Saturday for our party. 4. Hooks to hang out mugs = more cupboard space. 5. …
1. Crocuses are coming out in force which can only mean one thing: spring is right around the corner. 2. My friend Caitlin has been staying with us to decide if she wants to move to Vancouver. We haven't seen a ton of each other since our epic Alaskan adventure in 2008 so it's been …
1. This 'Egg McMuffin.' Far superior than anything Ronald ever made. Avocado, alfalfa sprouts, cheese, mayo, egg, sausage. Mmmm. (Obviously this didn't end quite as it should have.) 2. After a run to the grocery store this morning, I got back into my pajamas and don't intend to get out of them again until tomorrow morning. 3. My …
1. This apple tart almost lit our oven on fire, but it signifies that I may have pastry nailed. Yes. 2. Taxes, done! (And with not a bad refund.) 3. 'Fush and chups.' Made by my Kiwi neighbour and her brother and served in newspaper. 4. It snowed A LOT for Vancouver. As much as …
