// Can You... Guess That Movie?

Tobin and Matt are unexpectedly on-the-run...

Tobin: "She know what you do for a living?

            The girl on the phone.

           It was a girl, wasn't it?

          Maybe it was a guy.

      I don't know

            I don't judge." :)

 

Our movies (many loved repeats included), and other adult 'cinematics' continue to entertain us on the daily. And while many of us will veer towards the more lighthearted comedies and romance to help with balancing anxieties, there's lots to be said with the understated funnies embedded within our loved dramas, thrillers, and even spooks. As we get our heads into these stories on screen, they have a way of tucking our minds into the moment. Can you guess these favourites from their savvy lines? I've linked the movie within the line itself. Think it out, make a guess, and then check your guess. Hint: There are no cowboy movies in this line-up...

// Crunchy Baked Cod

The intention was to add more varietal fish to our weekly menu this year, and so far so good. We're embracing more nourishing bites. The last time I made some crunchy cod was via deep frying in healthier light olive oil - but still frying. This time I wanted to achieve as close as possible results with baking and was happy with the ending with another surprize round already on our menu game for next month. However, as much as I love a nicely done boneless fleshy cod, I've always found it a challenging fish to deeply infuse some rich flavour, without it falling apart in some way. My middle sister Jan agrees and she's the real chef of the family, so this has to be true. And that will be my focus with this flaky white cold water fish moving forward and trying new seasonings and blends. This was a tasty start. We enjoyed it with the lovely Lola, and dare I say it, it was even more delicious the next morning for our later a.m. breakfast, Lola included. #yum Happiness is... :) Have a fun and safe Winter-Spring Break next week. ~xx

Enjoying my fair share of late winter (February 2020) photos from errand travels...

// Humble Bee Candles: Winter Pine

I received this truly lovely candle in 'Winter Pine' this past holiday and checked all the boxes a beautiful candle can deliver the very first evening I lit it — and then some: deep relaxation, restoration, calm, and a gentle-be all over feel. If you have yet to hear about this fairly new-to-the-market company, welcome to the serene world of Humble Bee Candles. Hand poured right here in Toronto, Canada, and hoping to "sprinkle kindness, humbleness, and joy to those who receive the candle..."

// Breakfast Beginnings: Whole Fruit with Yogurt (Part II)

Because there will be days when we will have to be up and out the door earlier than usual, and also in praise of a meatless Monday or meatless day, giving our bodies a little animal meat reprieve each week. We want something quick and delicious, and filling, and also healthy, to replenish and keep our energy levels up... and most likely in that order too. A simple one we can make overnight sounds even more luxurious. This month, with embracing the new year, new foods, and new blends, I switched my yogurt game for one that has less sugar, less fat, and more protein per serving with...
