BAKING/COOKING

I haven’t made it in years, but this cacio e pepe recipe is definitely an all time favourite to make.

CRAVING

Tres leche cake. So she’s getting made this weekend.

EATING

So many one egg omelets, I have a problem.

EXPERIENCING

The new renovated Mississauga Central library. And it’s awful. All that money and it’s absolutely soulless. The book/movie shelves are so low to the ground, it’s as if some alien designed this place. And I understand that’s helpful towards children, but this isn’t a library exclusively for children. It’s literally the main branch in all of Mississauga, so there’s no excuse. And to top it all off, it’s PAY PARKING. The Burnhamthorpe location is so much better thankfully, so I don’t think I’ll ever go back to Central again.

LOVING

Behold my new favourite photo of Baby Dog.

SHOPPING

Got these turkey stuffing potato chips and they didn’t blow me away.

WATCHING

I started watching The Morning Show and the acting is great, but the dialogue is pretty terrible at times. And the whole COVID second season, UGH. Not for me. We’re not far enough away from 2020 to have any kind of real perspective on anything, so this was just bad television. I’ll truck through season three and see if it can get the glory of season one back.

WEARING

I live in this Aritzia headband this time of year. The matching mittens are perfect.

The beginning of Winter Wednesdays! Did you ask for it? No? Are you getting it? Yes!

BAKING/COOKING

On New Year’s Day, I made this pork tenderloin with a honey garlic sauce that was actually pretty good for a last minute recipe.

CRAVING

Snow. I need it. It’s been so windy and rainy in New York this week that I’m counting down the days that I’ll hopefully see a snowstorm in Ontario this weekend.

EATING

Went to the restaurant Torrisi (by the Carbone people) and it was overrated. I think 2024 is the year that I stop going to trendy places. There’s rarely any substance. We tried the zeppole ham appetizer (which was really good), the lunch sandwich (the bread was phenomenal, but the meat was too fatty), two pastas that were only okay and a great tiramisu dessert. Is that worth the $100 per person it was? Heavens no.

EXPERIENCING

I saw the new fashion exhibit Women Dressing Women at The Met, so I’ll do a full post on it this weekend.

LOVING

The thinnest, greatest pizza I’ve had in years at Emmett’s on Grove (we ordered the Hot Girl and added pineapple to it). And is it just me or are cutesy menu names embarrassing? Always make me cringe.

SHOPPING

Trying to find these love stamps at the post offices near me and they are annoyingly sold old everywhere.

WATCHING

I saw the movie Air last night and it was good. It easily could’ve been cut thirty minutes, sure. And not to be harsh, but it did just feel like a two hour Wikipedia page entry.

WEARING

My new Top Shop coat. I waited until the Nordstrom sale when it was $85 and now she’s all mine.
