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

Little things that my bf does for me and that make me smile :)

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

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...)

Little things that mean a lot...

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

35. A week of blue skies.

Sowing the first seeds for the coming summer.
Posted by bixaorellana on Mar 8, 2010, 4:20pm
Aww ~~ nice one, Baz.

37. Plants emerging that I thought the chickens had dug up and killed.

38. My mother tied my shoelace for me yesterday, for the first time in more than 50 years.

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.

41. Realizing a new way to combine clothes you already have to give you a whole new outfit.

42. Shoes that look good and don't actually hurt your feet.

My new green apple and ginger shampoo and conditioner.

44. Coffee

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

My most loved bakery in the city, Pain Perdu, and it's only two blocks away...yum.

OMG, jazz, you are soooo lucky to have a place like that near you!
Posted by gertie on Mar 12, 2010, 10:58pm
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. :)
Posted by bixaorellana on Mar 12, 2010, 11:51pm
And I would think being able to preface "mother in law" with a sincere "darling" is a little thing that means an awful lot!
Posted by lagatta on Mar 13, 2010, 3:24am
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. :P

My dear friend's mother who made 98 years yesterday,requesting some Louis Prima music after coffee and dessert and then getting up to dance!
Posted by bjd on Mar 14, 2010, 12:31pm
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.

My daughter has helped me to cook lunch and has also washed up the dishes. :D

Getting the light over the kitchen work surface fixed.

Finding that our neighbours have a flourishing patch of coriander.

51. Realizing my "defective" lamp only needed to have its bulb tightened.
Posted by gertie on Mar 14, 2010, 9:05pm
My daughter helped me cook dinner tonight, maybe she's been talking to your daughter, spindrift! :)
