Veggies!

After class, I return home and my mate is working from home.
A great treat for me!
For dinner, the veggies from the market are ready for a delicious red curried lentils and salad spectaculaire.

A good food day ends watching the recent episode of Grimm and snuggling.

Grateful today for
my mate’s creative addition of broccoli, cauliflower and carrots to the curry,
and for the delightful surprise that my mate working from home was.

Spontaneous Road Trip

A few hours spent at Envision before heading off to see J+T to shoot some big belly photos.
Newest member of their family is soon to arrive – fun to take photos of the belly before the birth, and the family together.

In the afternoon, my mate calls inviting me to join him on a retail road trip.
What fun! It’s a lovely day for a drive to Buffalo and we have a fun time checking out the business supply stores.

Returning home, we stop in at Fresh for a takeout dinner.
Once our hunger is sated, it is time to make more food for the next few days…lentil soup, curried lentils and hummus.

Grateful today for
the healthy snacks we took on our road trip – saved us from going too far astray…
a fun afternoon on the road with my mate,
and especially for T not going into labour when we were doing our photo shoot!
Thank you J+T for the INCREDIBLE home grown yummies!!

578 – Friday

Caught up on the vacation’s blog entries today.
Found it much easier to work backwards than to start at the beginning…

The days have been hot – mul naeng myun on my mind constantly…
Dinner on my own – had to make some…not much to add other than the cucumbers…still, completely satisfying and tasty.

Grateful today for
a restful day and evening,
the package of naeng myun and the fresh cucumbers.

577 – Rainy Morning

A romantic rainy morning breakfast with my mate at the farmer’s market.
Unexpected and delightful to share the morning together.

The produce is beautiful and ripe…berries, apricots, and plums are absolutely delicious…
as are the green leafy lettuce, swiss chard, tomatoes and peppers.

PVS shares dinner and a few TED sessions with us in the evening.

Grateful today for
farmers – for their hard work,
the delicious produce,
and for the TED sessions watched this evening.

572 – Kingston by Limestone

After breakfast, we head out in the Limestone for Kingston.

The farmers’ market is delightful and the streets of Kingston are lively.
At the Toucan for lunch, followed by shopping and then we head back.

It is a perfect summer day.
The islands are busy with boats, swimmers, picnics and kayaks.

Grateful today for
a summer day with friends,
the breezy dock at La Vignette,
and for the late night board game fun.
