veg curry made with potatoes from the garden
Jesse made this delicious curry using potatoes and zucchini from our garden. We ate it while watching Mad Men and drinking mojitos.

Pourhouse
at Pourhouse in Gastown. I love it there - the food and atmosphere are great, and I had the most delicious old fashioned I've ever ordered.

blur
I didn't leave the house all weekend. It's all right though, there was cheesecake and Terry Gilliam movies.

heartagram
I spent most of the day editing photos and most of the evening watching 10 Things I Hate About You, wishing Heath Ledger weren't dead. :(

at the Kingston Taphouse
I took Jeff to the movies to see Inception (which was the most brilliant film I've seen in some time), and beforehand we had food & beer at Kingston Taphouse on Richards St. They have one of the nicest patios in the city, I think.

bad news
I got some bad news. But it will be okay.

another air quality warning
I took this with my iphone while walking home from yoga in Burnaby Heights. We had another air quality warning because of the fires, but at least the haze makes for a pretty sunset.

berries from the alley
Sarah and I picked blackberries at twilight from the alley near our house. I guess picking berries in the dark is not the best way to ensure you get the ripest ones.

resting and sweating
I spent the afternoon at Wreck Beach with the roommates and also Jen Hardwick, who is visiting from Ontario for the summer. It was extremely hot but the water was lovely. The coast guard showed up for some reason. Afterwards we went to Enigma for burgers and mojitos, because a day at the beach always leaves you hungry and exhausted.

this feels like a sunscreen ad
I went to Spanish Banks with Tams, Val, and Sean, and Zoey (Sean and Val's dog). It is the only beach in Vancouver (I think) where you can have dogs off-leash, so it is basically awesome for anyone who likes the beach and also likes playing with puppies. Tamara and I both pretty much wanted to steal this lady's beautiful great Dane.
