chicken & waffles
My entry for the 'meat' cookoff — chicken and waffles (beer battered fried tofu with syrup and homemade roasted pepper relish on a classic waffle). Hopefully I'll be have the blog updated soon with the results!

shoe sale day
Shoe sale day: second-worst work day of the year (first prize goes to inventory). I think my favourite part of the day was when a lady came up to me and asked if the prices were as marked, and since I wasn't really given any information to the contrary, I said yes. She put the shoes she was holding down and said with distaste, "Oh, it's too expensive, forget it, it's not worth it," as if I give a flying fuck if she buys the damn shoes or not. And as it turned out, any shoes priced over $40 were on sale for $39.99, but I don't really feel too sad about that cheap bitch not getting a deal.

Another fun thing that happened was that a couple of women put their own shoes on the floor while trying things on and they got picked up by people clearing the floor, and some of them disappeared for several HOURS! It was kind of baffling, but honestly, ladies, it's a zoo in there. Don't let your shoes out of your sight, and certainly don't leave them in a pile of random shoes on the floor.
Anyway, at the end of the day I bought these badass leather oxfords and a new pair of knockoff Keds.

Quinoa, roasted tomatoes, corn, soy chorizo, kale, pineapple salsa. Cilantro & vegan sour cream on top. Easy and tasty.

kitty kisses
sometimes Theo photobombs me and I just roll with it.
At work I ripped a big hole across the butt of my jeans, and of course it was in the morning so I had to walk around in them all day and it just got bigger every time I bent down to pick something else up. Thankfully 95% of my job is accomplished alone.

Oscar and Lucinda
My gardening plans got rained out so I hung out with a book and the cats.

overtime magic
Steph and I watched the Canucks beat the Wings in overtime. Afterwards I drank tea while watching A Single Man; it was an incredible & beautiful film.

cocaine ruins lives
Jeff and I made dinner, opened a bottle of wine, and watched Goodfellas. After the movie I reasoned that this was probably its moral.
