I would certainly make sure that there are some condoms in the next shopping bag.

A hot cappuccino in my favorite flavor brought to me by dear hubs because I have a bad cold.

Yes, we have given him condoms. And yes, it's a big age gap, and she's too young, but I don't think we could do anything to stop it. They plan to marry in 2013. I guess eventually they will either break up or she will get older.

(And we should speak more to her parents...)

34. The return of the house finches in force, plus singing sparrows. I'm surrounded by song.

What sort of cheese was this? A plain curd cheese? Chillies would be good with that.

Aw, Kerouac -- you must have been really moved! That is touching.

Baz -- yes, that would be a thrill. The blankety-blank chickens belonging to my neighbor got into my garden while I was away for Christmas. Every single thing that's emerging now is being greeted like the prodigal son.

I routinely put pickled chiles or cayenne powder on any kind of cheese sandwich. It's a marriage made in heaven.

Today I discovered that some of the seeds I sowed on 7 March had germinated! Wow, they really want to get going.

Ok, Jazz wins!

But I am still happy my darling mother in law split a buy one get one halibut steaks deal with me.

If I buy two packs, one steak is extra, and if I buy one someone doesn't feel like they got enough, so she was nice enough to take the extra off my hands. I hate wasting food.

And I would think being able to preface "mother in law" with a sincere "darling" is a little thing that means an awful lot!

Even if its for the halibut!

Pain perdu looks wonderful. Jazz, I'd imagined you living a bit farther south, near College. Odd, eh? That isn't quite the northerly Little Italy on that street, which is a bit farther west...

Are they Basques? There is a Basque flag on their site.

Baz - that Chilly Cheese sandwich was simply melted cheese on toast (something like a cheddar) but it had chopped fresh green chillies in it.

Jazz, I just checked where the bakery was on Google maps. When we first went to Canada, I lived on the corner of Pinewood and Vaughan Road and went to Humewood School for 3 years.
