Walking the fine line between smart and ass.
Happy #SantaLuciaDay! It’s traditional to have cardamom buns, but I made our usual #vegan bacon, cheddar & egg sandwiches with vegan croissants from Gigli Caffe up the street. It’s also traditional to wear a crown of live candles on your head, so I’m okay with breaking tradition.

Thank you, Caribou Gifts, for having this terrific little origami kit, going to our youngest niece. I bet I’ll end up making a few animals with her when we see them. ❤️

Look, the wildlife is at our doorstep every day—we may as well invite them in for mulled wine at this point.

If only it would snow these. Seemed like the perfect day to pick up two Mad Batter Bakers’ snowflake cookies from Grumpy Gourmet, going to our two youngest nieces. Our teenage son immediately ate the Santa one I got him. ❄️

Most important meal of the day.
Our friendly, neighbourhood Cooper’s hawk with—based on the feathers that have landed on the deck—what probably used to be either a mourning dove or a dark-eyed junco. Circle of life, people.
With thanks to Weird Al.

Got some of these #FlowMovie gingerbread cookies from the Letts Shop when I went to pick up a bunch of Estonian chocolates for my Mom. So cute. And I hear that the cookies taste amazing. I’m saving ours for a stocking.

Last night’s Irish White Bean & Cabbage Stew, so easy to make (quite literally chop everything up, throw it in the pot, simmer) and so tasty. We have it with soft, buttered dinner rolls to scoop up every last bit.

What a fantastic sticker book for one of our nieces from #BookCity in #BloorWestVillage! In addition to stickers & backgrounds, this one has intricate colouring pages, matching games, mazes, quizzes … I mean, I kind of want one myself.

Dropped in to Quipus Crafts to get a new wallet for our son. He got his current one here, also with an Indigenous design, so long ago that it’s now more bendy than an inflatable tube man. And they have so many beautiful cards. ❤️

Oh boy, oh boy! This was so simple and so delicious. This is Marcella Hazan’s Tomato Sauce with Onion & Butter, especially excellent with potato gnocchi. My friends, I licked the plate.

About six months ago, our son came to me and asked, “Do you know an ‘80s singer named Gowan?” I told him that “A Criminal Mind” is a masterpiece. Turns out the kid likes his music, especially “Moonlight Desires.”
So when I saw that #Gowan would be at Massey Hall, I got us tickets. (1/8)

It was a packed house at last weekend’s dramatic reading of #AChristmasCarol by various #Toronto personalities at Runnymede United, benefitting the Bloor West Food Bank.
A big congratulations to all of the volunteers and organizers for making it all happen!
