Older = Better or Bitter??

Kidding! Hello again y'all. Sorry for the wait. It's been a busy month since I moved in to my new house! To make matters worse, I am now officially a year older - but, fear not, I am not bitter. In fact, thanks to all the fabulous friends and family I am lucky enough to have, I had a super fantastic birthday weekend.

I saw kittens and had my fav carrot cake on the planet on Friday night, then I had a fabulous Korean and wine bar night in downtown Ottawa Saturday, and followed that with a brunch of homemade blueberry-banana pancakes and movie watching, and finished with a soiree of beef bourgeneon, red wine, and chocolate-pecan tart! Fabulous fun, fabulous folks, fabulous food - oh, and fabulous giftees from everyone! Totally top-shelf.

As a reward, I post kit-teh pics for all to see (below)!







Note: prior to b-day weekend extravaganza, I had been working some extra hours, including working on the GCWCC - Government of Canada Workplace Charitable Campaign - for our unit. It included a fantastically well received bake sale, in which I made the sinfully delicious scones and super healthy breakfast cookies below:


Citrus-Cranberry-White Chocolate scones


Oatmeal-Raisin Spelt Breakfast Cookies

Happy fall, y'all!!
