Today I found out that the husband of one of my professors died on the weekend. He was only 40 and they have(had?) two children together. Anyway, I can't even imagine going through that. I heard that he died of a heart attack after/while playing hockey. I guess he just skated off the ice and collapsed and died right there. I am not sure if my ( Read more... )

I am really enjoying being able to share my evenings with Rob again. It had been lovely. So far, I have been able to prepare dinner while he is finishing work/coming home and then we have been able to eat together in our "new" dining room. Monday night's Jamaican chicken was lovely. I made a mango salsa to go with it and it was all very yummy. ( Read more... )

So, today was Rob's and my day off together. We slept in til like 11. Which was great. We eventually wandered over to the Jiffy Grill for our usual Sunday breakfast. After breakfast, we hopped on a bus and went over to the Rio Can centre to check out JYSK and some other stores.
I have been wanting new living room furniture, so we were looking at ( Read more... )

Ok, so no dinner pics to post, but I am going to update with my account of the first week back-to-school.

Ok, so Tuesday was the orientation day. It was only a few hours. I was pleased to discover that everyone in the program is my age (ok there abouts). No more 17 year olds who don't do their work. Everyone in the program seems really nice. Of ( Read more... )

So, last night I made Spinach and Ricotta Cheese stuffed pasta shells or, as Crazy Plates calls it, She Sells Stuffed Shells. It was very yummy and not that hard to make either!

This isn't an Eat, Shrink and Be Merry recipe, but it was very yummy.

Hilarious quote of the day: "amniotic fluid doesn't have ice cubes and a lemon wedge".

That is all.

I  am so excited to start school. I went back-to-school shopping this evening and I bought notebooks, pens, and a file folder for school and this mail organizer. I am such a nerd because I thoroughly enjoyed organizing my bills when I got home.

I feel like I have very little going on right now. Yesterday I went to the school and sorted out my OSAP ( Read more... )

 Ok, so life got in the way, and I didn't make dinner for a while. I did make a yummy dinner of salmon with lemon cream sauce and asparagus on Monday, but I didn't have time to take a picture of it. :( 
Tuesday, I spent all day making

I had such a great weekend! It started on Saturday with my parents picking Rob and I up around noon and we drove to Burlington for a wedding/family/fun weekend. We got to Burlington around 5 and hung out with my mom's family for the evening. It was just relaxing and fun. It was nice to have some fun with family and not have to think about work/jobs ( Read more... )
