north york and mulberry trees

me and jenny having been volunteering at the vegan lunch at U of T, Hot Yam, and this week we signed up to lead it. so i headed out to north york early this morning to plan our menu and do a run through.

this is what we're making x 100 more plates

looks good eh? falafel sandwich, split pea soup, cucumber dill salad, and vegan chocolate pudding with fresh raspberries.

Jenny's dad is in love with America so i felt like i was back in the states the whole time, American flags flying and all. i wish i could spend all my days cooking meals with beautiful friends. after that i had to run to my monday night babysitting job. where we ate berries off a mulberry tree and jumped on a trampoline. ever eat mulberries? well you should. they grow wild and stain your mouth purple. i wish i could have taken a picture of lily, her entire face was stained a beautiful color purple

this is what my hands kind of looked likei have the best babysitting job in the world

domesticated bitch

its been awhile, i was hoping to get a camera, but instead lost the besties and had to buy him one. gavin had a party friday and i ended up being the wife, making food and pie and feeding people jello. which caused jenny to call me a domesticated bitch, which i see as quite a compliment..and pretty true. let me list the reason why

1. im obsessed with food blogs. and want to make everything on them/go to every restaurant mentioned. my favorites are green and crunchy
www.veggieoption.blogspot.com , and www.thefoodhussy.com. che che check em out.

2. i consider myself a queen of cooking for crowds. i mean who else could make sushi for 70 high schoolers in a short period of time?

or know how much exactly to buy for a crowd of 30-70 people once a month?

this pictures was taken at 2 am, all night grocery stores are my best friends

3. i love love love clothes and shoes and shopping, but i love nothing more than to grocery shop. walking through grocery store aisles and reading ingrediants and labels distresses me. i know, its weird. i worked at Wholesome Market when i first moved to toronto and it was a dream come true. Jungle Jim's is my heaven. can seriously spend a full day in there. www.junglejims.com.

4. on a my first trip to ikea i realized my obsession with kitchens and kitchen gadgets. i dont care about the rest of my future house, as long as it has a beautiful kitchen and is filled with amazing things.
