Got a nice party to celebrate the new appartement. All the best people came and we had a nice relaxed evening of beer, cheese puffs and jello shooters.

Ok so not so relaxing as I got slapped by Debbie ( a normal occurance ) only this time it left a handprint for more than 24 hours! That was pretty cool. I don’t remember what I said but I’m sure I deserved it ;) We had a lot of empty bottles the next day, but also a couple of fresh cold beer in the fridge that lasted a week or two. Thank you guys for coming over!

Now that it has been almost a full month, I can say that life is pretty awesome. I was really surprised by how much owning a clothesline would make me really happy. I love watching the colours float in the wind from my bedroom’s window. It guess it helps that my clothes are so shiny and colourful! It’s also right by  my new bike. I’m also very surprised by how quickly I took on to using it to go to work every day. Now don’t go out thinking I will bike for fun on weekends, but going wherever I want without depending on bus schedules is pretty awesome! And what is not to love about taking 15 mins less to go work than by bus?

Finally, I think I can say for sure that I am finally home. I cooked the ancestral thyme chicken recipie and judging by the photo, I’m sure you can say it was a success. Easy, quick, tons of leftovers. There is nothing wrong about that recipe.

Luc, Debbie and Guillaume yum! cherry jello with fragoli Debbie hits like she means it Morning after kitchen counter My very own clothesline! awesome!

It will be a database of all her favourite recipies and it was a pleasure to set up thinking of all the small ways that will make it easier to browse and explore. I still have to find decadent looking photos to use in the header but in the meantime I think it’s very well organized. Unfortunatly there isn’t a specialized search function that looks what you have left in the fridge! I feel that it’s the only thing that’s missing. It’s called La Cuisinière Paresseuse and I suggest you all bookmark it because it’s yummy stuff over there!

The rules is to post a photo of the 6th photo of my most recent album and invite 6 others to do so too. mmm…  Ok so since I’ve been a bad lolo and I havn’t downlaoded my camera’s card in a while I’ll go do that first. Hopefully everything will go fantastic and the photo will happen to be Léonard eating maple taffy like requested ;)

…

Well it turns out a little different. Some cuddly baby wins! But because I’m a cool cousin I’ll include the Death By Sugar photos as well! Ok so I tag Yochannah because I’m hopefull I’ll get to see more Paris photos.

And when I say sing along, I mean, sing every single lyric in near perfect pitch and everything!  As far as it is posisble to understand actual words when the rabbits sing, obviously.

Anyway, now it’s fueled a mission : make the absolute Rock Playlist so that my nephew and nieces have a decent musical education. Some of my genes are there too, I feel responsible! Besides, I’m an aunt. I’m not there to tell them off if they don’t say please, oh wait I do that too… 

So far I already have 2 hours with only the songs I already had on my computer, and when I made my list I was amazed at how little songs I own myself. Hopefully after all this I will also happen to have the complete Supernatural Roadtrip Set!
