I used to have the phone number for my little sister’s landlord programmed into my phone. I forget why, exactly, but one day, a couple years ago, I accidentally sent the following text to the landlord’s number rather than my little sister’s:
“I am about to die a bacon-related death.”
My little sister’s landlord replied, “I don’t know who you are, but whoever you are, stop eating bacon!”
I made potato and leek soup. And it turned out very well if I do say so myself. :)
The cookbook said the recipe was so simple, it was medieval. I’m okay with that. It tastes good. I put in twice the amount of butter that the recipe called for. Now it’s even better!
I got some zucchini bread here two days ago. Mmm … Zucchini bread. And it was organic zucchini bread, so it was made by hippies and everything, and contains no meat products.
A soul patch is a small patch of facial hair just below the lower lip and above the chin.
It works like a nicotine patch: When I wear one, I don’t have to feed on the souls of the living.
I’m clean-shaven these days.
Pickles was looking through some of the books that we don’t plan to keep, either because we have multiple copies, or because we don’t like the book enough to keep it around forever, and she found this. It’s a post-card sized advertisement for the beef that McDonald’s uses in its hamburgers. She was using it as a bookmark at some point in the past.
This is just weird.
If you can give me a good translation of the Chinese phrase at the bottom of the advertisement, you will be awarded 4 points.
When we moved, the cooler opened itself up in the back of the truck. We had packed in there all the unused food that we had in London and planned to bring to Montréal. So when we arrived, opened the back door of the truck and saw a single jar of freezer jam fall out and smash on the street, we were initially very concerned about rest of the contents of the cooler – where had they gone? Were they oozing into our mattress?
Fortunately, the spill was very local, but all the meats that we had packed were thawed. That sounds like bad news, but what it meant is that Pickles has been busy for the past day or so cooking up lots and lots of chilli. This is good news indeed.
Our new kitchen is a bit smaller than the old one, but as you can see in the photo, we can fit our chest freezer inside it, which we couldn’t do in our old place. Also, we have a brand-new stove here, and a reasonably new and clean refrigerator. There is a little pantry just to the side of our kitchen, where we can keep food that doesn’t need to be refrigerated, before we eat it, and so the fact that it’s a little smaller doesn’t mean that we’ll be too cramped in it or anything.
