Of course the end result was not as good as hers, but it was still reminiscent of her cooking style. I should have let the garlic, red onions and vegetables soak in more of the trio and I should have added more Honey!

Little Pleasures
It is rare to come across a really great book for me these days. The last book that really grabbed me was Margaret Atwood's Moral Disorder. I think perhaps, I have a lot on my mind and am finding it hard to really engage with a book. This book was amazing. I was captiavated by the title. I mean, who would not be- The History of Love? It was definitely an ambitious title and fully lived up to it. Love in all its forms. I loved Alma and Leo and was quite sad, I would not be a fly on the wall in their lives anymore. One of the lines I loved in the book was: Al Wittgenstein once wrote that when the eye sees something beautiful, the hand wants to draw it. I wish I could draw you.
Next on my list of must reads are: Let The Norhern Lights Erase your name by Vendela Vida and Too Much Happiness by Alice Munro.

For the love of Saucony
I stopped and switched to these shoes yesterday as I was getting my exercise speed walking from the street car stop to home. My blunstones as well as they served me on the farm, they were never as light and resilient as my sauconys. I have never loved a pair of shoes more and perhaps I love them so much because they were with me through so much. As my birthday approaches in little over a week, I get contemplative. These shoes served me so well when I lived in SF, when I journeyed to India for Yoga, at the farm, to Uruguay and now walking on in Toronto. They are a reflection of me: well worn, yet still comfortable and open to adventure.

Steel cut Oats, fruit, yougurt and a scoop of almond butter and my 2ndcup of coffee
Wholesome goodness in a bowl. Steel cut oats are so good, especially if you like oats chewy. I really like oatmeal with rolled oats, but I love steel cut oats. I can never seem to overcook them and they never go mushy.
I actually made this yesterday and had some left over and heated it with some water on the stove. Still had that chewy texture and tasted great. This keeps me going for a really long time. I have to eat a really good breakfast/lunch at an odd time because I start work in a kitchen at 2:00 and only get a break around 4ish. This is so good for a slow release of energy throughout the day.
