cinnabons
just a wee pictorial teaser before i kick off the new food series jessica and i are doing (she cooks, i take photos and we eat). this isn’t a real how to because i wasn’t really paying attention while she was making her famous cinnabons – i was just picking at the pastry and warming myself in front of the oven, really.
she defrosted some dough from the freezer - jessica uses croissant dough (her own recipe, which i can’t divulge!)
roll it out, with vigour:
spread some muscovado sugar:
it’s cold outside
so, i really liked sharing my first playlist with you and was super happy when i got a few nice people telling me they enjoyed it. here is installment number two. something happy and upbeat to get you through this sudden plunge into winter (even though winter makes me happy anyway, but this music just makes things sweeter).
download the mix here, the song list is as follows:
- mumford & sons – winter winds
- band of horses – dilly
- the morning benders – i wanna be like you (jungle book cover)
- fanfarlo – what makes you think you’re the one
- pelle carlberg – clever girls like clever boys mucher more than clever boys like clever girls
- laura marling – crawled out of the sea (interlude)
- thao & the get down, stay down – bag of hammers
- rogue wave – solitary gun
- albert hammond jr. – holiday
- shiny toy guns – season of love
- human highway – all day

head scarf
we’ve had a week of lovely blustery rainy cape winter weather and i’ve had to drag around umbrellas that i keep forgetting everywhere and wearing rainjackets with hoodies that don’t fit or stay on my head (i don’t even have an exceptionally large head!). toying with the idea of a head scarf…
canadian pulp & paper
this was the canadian pulp & paper stand at the 67 expo held in montreal
forests affect man and his world profoundly. paper, for which the forests produce raw material, is the principal tool man uses to record his thoughts. this is the theme of the canadian pulp and paper pavilion on ile notre-dame – in which the tallest trees are as high as an eight story building.
