I am not someone who spends too much time in the kitchen. I am not and will never be Julia Child or Martha Stewart. If I ever start to act and talk like Martha Stewart, please grab me by my collar and slap me on the head. Heaven forbid I turn into that crazy woman who makes marshmallows from scratch. It is a universally held truth that in my house, mealtimes often get in the way of life. Today was no different. After working all day on a day that strated at 6 AM at bootcamp in the gym, dinner was the last thing I was thinking of. Try as I might to get something wonderful and homecooked on the table that contains most of the major food groups, I have stopped deluding myself into thinking that I will be supermom and manage to do this daily, let alone on some days. So what to do?? Why stop and buy dinner of course. I stopped at Pho Hoa Vietnamese restaurant on the drive home and bought Vietnamese Pork Chops with rice, lemongrass and tasty sauce. YUMMERS. I often buy this on the way home cause it only costs $7.99 and the serving is so large, it's enough to feed 3 of us. (by 3 I mean....myself and the kids.....Doug is in Toronto on business....) When it costs a measly $8, why cook???? No brainer, people. I also brought home fresh fruit from the market. Today, the bounty was unending....
I have never eaten so much fresh, organic berries as I have this summer since I started working on Granville Island. Love it! I've been told that berries are high in anti-oxidants and I do believe that and I must say, I've had my fair share of anti-oxidants this past couple of weeks.
On the work front, we have a new shipment from Magenta that just arrived. Stop by and check the store blog in the next couple of days to see pics of some of the new loot that just arrived. In the meantime, here's a card I made today.
I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp the image, then coloured with Copics. All the supplies used to make the card can be purchased at the store or online.
Enjoy and have a great week ahead!
