practice 'Happiness Manifesto' periodically (read all 310 entries…)
14.11.09 1 week ago

I am grateful for:

- A day off in the middle of the week! Being a gov worker has its perks :)
- The nice date I went on last night. It’s so refreshing to meet somebody sane and intelligent, who can carry a conversation, and who has oodles of life experience, education and maturity, to boot!
- All things unconventional
- A guilt free existence
- delicious (and mysterious) Chinatown finds
- FINALLY finding Thai tea!!! I’ve been looking for this everywhere since a friend introduced me to it in France this summer, and in a stroke of luck, a good friend was out shopping and found a huge bag for me. It tastes just as I remember!
- my self confidence
- finding the rare funky art event in Ottawa. Tonight: Timeraiser



Create a personal recipe book
Drowning in recipes... 1 week ago

I actually have been meaning to do this for years, but never “got around to it.” I figure if I add it to my 43Things, it may actually become a reality! I keep my recipes in a white file folder, between my cook books, in my bookcase in the living room. This folder is full of stained, photocopied, faded recipes and is bulging dangerously and very disorganized. I need to get a nice binder or something and stick the recipes in there. I may not go as far as re-writing them all on cute little recipe cards (I’m way too lazy for that!), but I should at least put them in plastic paper covers to protect them!
