Sharpen your Pencil

Sometimes, I watch “Iron Chef America” on the Food Channel, and I am always wishing I could try the creations that interact with the person, the ones that you have to DO something or that they have to add something in front of your eyes. It just seems like the meal would then be enhanced [...]

Biodegradable Tableware

 

There are so many occasions in which people say they “need” cutlery that is disposable. Many of them are not so good reasons in my world (home parties and picnics), others are sometimes logical (like for some 200 people traitor wedding feast for example, although some companies do rent cutlery that they will actually [...]

Cook with Wood

Seems like I’m in a wood phase if you follow my blog, right? :)
I just fell in love with this shop this week, which offers many kinds of utensils made out of many kinds of lovely wood. Don’t they look so smooth and soft? I wish there was a spoon-fork-knife set!
You’ll find it all at [...]

Plantable Papers

I just found out about these oh-so-pretty plantable cards from Porridge Papers.
Apparently many people KNOW about plantable papers embedded with seeds, that are usually not good looking, but it’s the first time *I* ever even heard about it existing!
Plus these are oh-so-not ugly and letterpressed with a cute design and font. I would totally send [...]

Juicer Obsession : Solved!

Remember late October when my quest to find a juicer began?
Well, I can put that obsession on the shelf now since I found the perfect juicer right before the holidays at the Salon des métiers d’arts du Québec! It was designed by Belgium’s Koen De Winter for Atelier Orange of Montreal. What a wonderful designer, [...]

Breakfast Appreciation

I’ve been in a breakfast photography phase, as I talked about last month.
I’ve also been in a handmade mugs purchase phase, and in a “let’s explore breakfast foods” phase as well, so yeah, I’ve been taking shots of my mornings as you can tell.
Many of these pics also are used as “appreciation pictures” for my [...]

Simply Breakfast

If you are like me, you get up, get something to drink, wether it be coffee, tea or juice, get on the computer to check your emails and then work… without eating breakfast…! I know, I know… Most important meal of the day, missing nutriments in my daily income… I know…!
But, there is hope, an [...]

Le Vauvert

Le restaurant Cube a été rebaptisé Vauvert! Ce qui en découle est une atmosphère franchement opposée à celle du Cube, presque tout en noir et disons-le, assez “dark”. L’usage de textures diverses (cuir, tissus, peaux, bois) rend tout de même l’espace invitant, mais surtout, mystérieux!

Histoire de pois

Il fut un temps où je faisais ma difficile et que “je n’aimais pas les légumineuses”.
Puis, Emilie m’a fait goûter à son humus maison, puis à une salade de lupin que j’ai adoré! Et vlan, j’ai maintenant une dépendance aux pois et fèves et tout! Et je parle littéralement d’une dépendance: hier soir j’avais un [...]

Tuna Pasta Salad

Une autre bonne chose à propos de manger des pâtes pour le souper, c’est que j’en fait TOUJOURS trop, même quand je ne veux pas! Alors il en reste pour faire une salade de pâtes froides le lendemain midi!
One of the good things about making pasta for supper is that I ALWAYS make too much, [...]
