Sustainable eating
So I’m having a lady friend over for dinner tonight, and with the goals of something fresh, delicious, and healthy (I’ll save the burgers for date night with Max), sushi was a natural option. We usually get some sushi-grade salmon from the poisonnerie at Atwater Market. They’re nice and efficient, and it doesn’t break the bank for a delicious piece of fish. I’m...

Good morning
Some sources of inspiration for this sunny April morning:
“We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you.”
- PSALM 33:20-22
And Yo La Tengo’s album, Fade.
Happy almost-spring, all.

The Big Sky
Summers didn’t answer, but it went through his mind again that he didn’t want to go back with anybody. He wanted to be by himself, to go along alone with the emptiness that was in him, to look and listen and see and smell, to say goodbye a thousand times and, saying it, maybe to find that the hurt was gone… Goodbye, Dick Summers. …We mind the time you came to us, young and green and full of sap....

Brooklyn Rider plays John Cage's "In A Landcape" →
Max and I had a boost of creative energy last night, partly due to me trying to prove him wrong that I don’t really finish projects that I envision. Out to prove him wrong - but also inspired by a great playlist on CBC Radio’s The Signal - we both tackled our own projects. He installed LED lights over the counter, and I whitewashed some wood for our cat’s wine-crate-turned-bed.

R: I NEED TO GO TO THE STORE.
M: What, why now?
R: ASDLSD SLKJ LQ. To get some feminine hygeine products.
M: Okay I'll go. The ones in the pink package right?
R: Why are you so nice?
M: Because we have to be nice to each other. And when you're not feeling nice, I have to be nice for the both of us.

The reclaimed table we want to make →
It all started with this bench. I’m new to “pinning,” but I pinned it a while ago, during my many hours on the internets. Then while visiting Max’s family in the country, we were inspired by a lot full of cut-up tree trunks - perfect for an easy side table. Most recently, I realized that we could do another reclaimed wood project to match the others, namely the table/desk...
