I made cupcakes this weekend. They don’t look too pretty but they’re mega tasty!
I cut a cone out of each cupcake and then cut off the tip of the cone to allow for maximum pudding capacity. Then I filled each cupcake with vanilla pudding before putting the top back on and covering them in icing. The uglier ones got topped with rainbow chocolate chips as well.
Saturday was our second anniversary. It was a beautiful hot cloudless day in Vancouver so we spent the whole day outside.
First we had lunch at Boathouse in Kitsilano. We shared a pitcher of delicious lime margarita.
The whole restaurant is pretty much a big patio with great views and fresh air. So lovely on a nice day!
I had lobster grilled cheese benny and it was amazing. Big chunks of lobster, nice bread, poached egg, cheese…. OM NOM NOM. It was very rich and it made me really full. I would totally order this again if I ever get to go back.
Scott had ahi tuna. He liked it a lot too.
Last weekend we upgraded a bunch of things in our apartment.
We installed a “screen door” out to our patio so we don’t get big stupid flies in the apartment any more. It needed to be removable so we could still use the door. All we did was buy a piece of screen at Canadian Tire and use some sticky velcro from the dollar store to hang it up. I stuck one side of the velcro to the door frame, and sewed the other side of the velcro onto the screen. Sewing the velcro was a sticky tedious process, but now we can have the patio door wide open at any hour and that makes it all worth it. No picture of that project because you can’t see anything.
We sold our old mattress and had our new firmer mattress delivered. So nice. Unfortunately there were two days in between those events so we had to sleep on the floor for two nights, haha. Hence the blanket bed in the picture on the left.
Wahhhhhh Rosemarie has left the country. :( :(
It was very nice having her stay with us for the last 2.5 weeks (although she wasn’t here for lots of that time). I liked having her living in the corner of our living room. We played a lot of games and watched a lot of Seinfeld! Plus she did the dishes and took out the garbage, hehe.
Last night her and I went to see the movie Collaborator. I had won tickets to see it from the newspaper. I thought it was so-so and at the end of the movie we all got trapped into this semi-awkward Q & A session with the star of the movie. Although he was fine in the movie and I recognized him from the show Weeds (Peter Scottson), I just wanted to go home.
Some tasty sushi the other night from the Sushi Garden near our house. We were planning on eating at the restaurant but there were TWELVE groups ahead of us! So we got take out instead. The sashimi was awesome and the rolls were all quite good, although very large in diameter which makes for tricky eating.
I’ve been very busy at work this week. Learning a new camera, a new scanning protocol, learning bone density, doctors reading sessions, plus lots of difficult patients. I am learning heaps and sometimes struggling with all the jobs, but I think I am still doing pretty well overall. By the end of all our clinical placements I have no doubt that I will be totally ready to work as a nuclear medicine technologist.
More summer market stuff. A big bucket of local strawberries and raspberries, a loaf of potato and honey bread (can’t taste the honey at all though), yellow/regular zucchini, and a plant.
