I learned how to make pies before, but I needed a refresher.

Ultimate cupcakes
When Eric played an ultimate tournament in Guelph in September, I sent him off with a dozen chocolate cupcakes vaguely representing the theme ‘Misfits on a green field’. Then I read books all weekend.
Christmas 2016
Christmas at Carl’s was nice and mellow– except for those who had a cold and/or got the flu and/or did all the cooking (not me). Unfortunately, it seems I only took out my camera once :(
Not shown:
– any of us adults (we didn’t just let Sage supervise the kids)
– Anna’s lovely Christmas meal
– 4 schnauzers behaving charmingly
– all our nice presents!
– chillin’ out with movies all Sunday long
Here’s what I did capture:
Presidential debate snacks
Snacks for the second presidential debate on September 26th (way to ruin Sage’s birthday). Representing the Democratic nominee: Very brittle Southern BBQ flavoured kettle chips. Representing the Republican nominee from New York: Very orange cheesy puffs.
Sage looks likes she’d prefer something else altogether.
Sage’s thirteenth
We celebrated Sage’s birthday with pumpkin-blueberry-banana pancakes. I knew she knew they were for her when she laid at my feet while I was cooking. Both dogs devoured them, I hope it won’t add too much to their girths.
Why no present on the momentous occasion of Sage becoming a teenager? Because Canadian Tire was all sold out of decoy mallards and that’s all she really wanted. We will check back later this week.

Pancakes and the AGO
Last weekend we got a city fix and bummed around Toronto for a couple of days. Somehow, I don’t have photos of dinner with Diane or her apartment, all the coffee shops we loitered in, the copper stuff I coveted in the home decor shops, the whirlwind IKEA shopping spree, or Thai take out with Carl, Anna, and the girls.
What I do have are pictures of some of my favourite things at the AGO as Wells as the gorgeous pancakes I had for Saturday brunch.
