On Correr Es Mi Destino, fellow expat Zhu wrote about Stuff Canadians Like.   She is sort of the opposite of me, having gone from Europe to Canada and having to get used to my country’s customs and weird ways.   I have to admit, I like pretty much everything she listed. It made me think of what would be on a …

This is a candy shop in the town of Pezenas in France, which is the village we stayed in while visiting my mother in law a few weeks ago. The shop was huge and full of tons of different kinds of candy. I didn’t go in any longer than what it took for me to snap a few photos though, …

If I didn’t know better I’d think there was a war taking place in Rotterdam these past few days.   As we get closer to the New Year, more and more fireworks are being sold in the city, and more people are setting them off early.   It starts in the early morning with the firecrackers and once it gets dark you …

Last night Xander had a meeting in the evening so I was on my own for dinner.   I sort of enjoy those nights because I can make something for myself that he doesn’t like.   I decided I wanted Pink Mush With Blobs, which you may remember from the abuse I took from my friend Matt about it a while back. …

My friend Matt was dissin’ my potato mush today. He obviously has no taste…  I call it Pink Mush With Blobs, because that’s what it looks like.  It tastes much better than it looks though, I swear.   I think I’ll make some tonight so I can get a photo. Breigh says (8:21 AM): brb gonna grab some food Matt says …

Friday afternoon my friend Penny came over for the afternoon to watch some chick flicks.  We watched Studio 54 and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.  After my KD and Wieners I had a craving for regular hotdogs so we went and picked some up at the Plus (our local supermarket). When we got home we went straight to the kitchen …

Ok my new kitchen obviously didn’t come with cooking skill involved in the purchase price.  A while back my friend Penny was telling me about these no bake cookies she makes that are supposed to end up like this.  No baking sounded good to me because it greatly reduced the chances of me ruining them. Clearly this recipe was no …

There are any number of reasons I could be foading my body this week.  I’m bloated, this cold and dry winter weather is making my skin dry, my hair is getting thinner and thinner due to that f’in PCOS and even though I’m not sick my nose won’t stop running.  Oh yeah, good times! None of the reasons above have …

A while back I signed up for a few sites to have blog reviews done, just for shits and giggles. Today another one of the reviews came in from Frog My Blog and it was pretty good. I got 4 out of 5 bugs and the only complaint they had really was the colors of my theme. It does seem …

BLEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so good this week. I mean soooooooooo good. SO SO SO SO fucking good it hurt sometimes, like at the movies when I took a container of chopped fruit instead of getting Maltesers… or when I went along to McDonalds with Xander and Alan and stuck to my no coke no fries promise to myself and had …
