Making Lemonade

Macarons that cracked during baking.

Sweet Cinnamon Morning

How awesome is this to have for breakfast? Soft and fluffy cinnamon buns made by my sister with vanilla cream cheese frosting. mmmmMMMM.

Two for Tea

A couple of these bad boys with some milky Assam tea. These crispy-yet-chewy, light-yet-rich, chocolatey cookies were made by my sis from this recipe.

Snack Attack

A couple of friends returned from a trip to Tokyo with treasures! Edamame crackers, wasabi biscuits, strawberry milk-chocolate cornflake balls, "tree ring" swiss roll-like cookies, yuzu prawn crackers, tiramisu cookies shaped like mushrooms....and the most bizarre item? Ramune flavored Kit Kat. The chocolate coating is light blue and it smells really strongly of bubble gum. It tastes mildly like 7-up. Not unpleasant, just odd.

Wine and Pie

Organic blueberry pie from Aphrodite's on 4th.

Sunday morning after

Check out the crema on this muthafuckin' brew!!!1!11!!!

Quiet post-Christmas morning with homemade speculaas cookies (a present) and a big bowl of frozen black grapes.

Lee's Donuts

Oh Lee's. How I love thee. Located in the heart of the Granville Island Public Market, Lee's is the finest donut shop in all of the Lower Mainland. Forget Tim Horton's slightly stale and sugary dough, forget Krispy Kreme's disgustingly syrupy, dough-heavy fried creations. Lee's donuts are light and almost fluffy. Not too sweet but sweet enough, I always get half a dozen of their powdered, cinnamon and oh yes, double chocolate ones. I never fail to stop by Lee's every time I'm on Granville Island. We had a section lunch at the terribly overrated Bridge's one week and I snuck away to procure a dozen for our office and we all agreed that I should've picked up 2 dozen instead. D'oh!
