Found a few hours before we had to head back to reality the morning after my birthday.

This is my “But, Moooooom I don’t wanna go to school” look.

Fine, ok… we’ll go sunbathing, I guess.

Alright, alright, view’s not so bad.


Nothing to see here, not much else to do with just a coupla girls, a pool, and a camera.


Hi suckers.

Blinded by the November sun. I know, boohoo, right?


No fun at all.



ROUGH LIFE.


Happy Monday to you, too!

If there’s anywhere in the world you’d find a big hunk roaming around with an even more handsome dog, it’d be San Francisco.

Went to Noe Valley for brunch at Chloe’s Cafe to catch up with Randy.

Hoping he could hook us up with some total babes, being one himself.

Big hunks, please.

Instead he just went about being babely in his own right, dazzling my friends with his nifty little Square. Oh yea we ate some pretty good food, too. Croissant French toast smothered in strawberries, omelettes with avocado and Jarlsberg cheese, four sides of bacon, and pumpkin spice pancakes. Mmmm before…

‘n after photes.

Then we wandered around the city hoping to catch someone to share our temporarily happy ever afters.

Figured the Mission was the place to go to find some pretty (dirty fuckin’ hipster) babies. Occupy Soup!

He’s gotta love books

and bj’s.

Be curious.

Be the best.

Book a room for two with the lovebird special.
(P.S. wouldn’t mind holing up with Jeff Canham, whose ‘For The Birds’ exhibit this is from. Like OMG what a babe.)

Be SMRT. I love these.

But alas, we had no luck finding these hunks. Guess we’re not parking our asses here in NorCal anytime soon.

“I was afraid. I reached out and touched her long hair. The hair was magic. I pulled my hand away. “Is all that hair really yours?” I asked. I knew it was. “Yes,” she said, “it is.” I put my hand under her chin and very awkwardly I tried to turn her head toward mine. I was not confident in these situations. I kissed her lightly.”
- Women, Charles Bukowski

I think I’ve settled on a name for this series. I’m going to call it
Darling you
And that’s all I have to say about this photo.

While you’re probably gearing up for American Thanksgiving, I’ve already had a Canadian Thanksgive’r.
Luckily, I was back home in Toronto in October with so many of my precious babies so I had much to be thankful for.

Little lady bird, Emma.

We wanted brunch and beautiful men. Where else would you go but the gaybourhood?
The food and the patio view at Fire on the East Side was heavenly.

Though, I think these two were already gonna lead me straight there. Trudy Patootie and Candy baby.

Smoked salmon benedict. They serve you banana bread to begin with, and what makes this benedict so scrumptious is the corn bread it’s lain on instead of a crusty English muffin.

Stuffed french toast with cheescake and berry filling. Sausages on the side.
Took the ferry to see the island and show these one and a half American girls what Canada looks like by the water.



This is how we rock it in the T-dot.

Went exploring and sighing at all the charming little island cottages and hiked on a nature trail. Much needed break from all the chaos.

Made us tired and hungwee. Which was juuuuuust right cuz it was my annual Orphans’ Thanksgiving Dinner night!!

Passing on the tradition of turkey dinner at Sneaky Dee’s that I’ve had for the past 5 Thanksgivings!

At first they thought it was just some bullshit grimey dive bar until they finally tasted the meat, tater, and gravy feast.

Way better than their aunt so-n-so’s, I hear.

Also, snickers pie.
So yea, thank you, thank you, and thank you, too!

Sometimes by Britney Spears, anyone?

Y’know…

Sometimes I run

Sometimes I hide

Sometimes I’m scared of you

But all I really want is to hold you tight

Treat you right


Be with you day and night
Baby, all I need is time.

Drove from the East side through Malibu Canyon to Paradise Cove so we could dip our toes in the sand.


Yea, beach stuff!


How does the pianist get up there?

Shrimp, spicy calamari, and beef tacos! I know how when you’re by the sea, you feel like the fish taco is the way to go but the beef one beat out all the others here. Marinated in sweet barbecue sauce. The rest of the food was meh-er than meh, but we really came here for the beach not brunch.

Halloween pumpkin friend

We’re living a real life Corona commercial

Rough life around these parts

Was wearing a tee and jeans to the beach. Bad call. Turned the tee into a makeshift toga.

Destinee, what a dream girl.

Paint dabbled belt

Most Californian Canadian I know

Yes, we came all the way out here just to sit in the sun. Total beach bums, such bliss!
I guess LA ain’t so bad.
Wish you were here.

If you thought I did much else other than work and eat, you’d be wrong.
Three little piggies went to Little Tokyo after reading The Minty’s post on Fat Spoon during it’s opening week.

Specialising in Japanese style curry, pasta, and salad.

Grilled Vegetable Salad

Chilli oil, pickled onions, pickled daikon

Spaghetti Carbonara. I love Japanese style pastas because they pack a ton of flavour in a much lighter form in comparison to regular Italian fare. I don’t know what the change in recipe is, but it feels less heavy, hearty, and carbicide-y. Just the right amount of creamy cheesiness.

I ordered a side of the sauteed mushrooms. They were pretty bland and dry so I dumped them into my pasta dish. Only disappointing item, though. Rest of the food was fab.

Seafood curry. Love the roasty sweetness to the sauce.
Now for the REAL reason why we came…

Ice cream sundae with LOTTE KOALA COOKIES!!! How cute is this? AND they put strawberry pocky in it, too.
Too cute. To. Die.

P.S. I’m going to start sending little love letters to y’all. Who knows what e-surprises I have in store for ya. Maybe some secrets. Mostly the things I’m secretly eating. Maybe something even better. If you want to hear from me,

L’Avenue down the street from our Montreal apartment had a serious line outside every single day for brunch. So naturally, we had to join the sheep herd and try it for ourselves.

Record label menus.

Reunited! M&Ms, Marissa and Maria.

Another favourite ‘M’ of mine, Mimosa.

This is what I ordered. The mushroom thing. I can’t remember what’s it’s actually called on the menu because my memory in French isn’t as good as it is in regular human.

Everything was in huge portions! And my god. The fruit skewers… so good! The taters, not so good. Bit too heavily greased and seasoned. Eat those last if you have the room.

L’Arc-en-ciel. Smoked salmon benny.

Wisconsin, Paris, and DC in the house! Kelly, Christophe, and Reyhan.

The Mediterranean. I ordered this the next time – usually comes with feta. Eggs, tomato, spinach, and cheese. So fresh ‘n so good. Line up is well worth it!
