Friday, it's Friday!


My continuing quest to capture a photo a day, more or less...


New gate, finally.
Stormy weather.
Kale salad.
Wasaga Beach.
More perusing of furniture.
Ripley's Aquarium.
Costco.

This week I shared a recipe for Pancakes Bananas Foster, and more photos from our trip to the African Lion Safari.

We've been trying different cheeses from the farmer's market.  Smoked gouda and goat's milk asiago are a couple of our new favourites.  I've learned that there are a lot of things about cheese that I didn't know.

Potato salad is perfect with a grilled steak.  Specifically, this potato salad.

I want gardens that look like these gardens.

I love cinnamon rolls, or any type of sweet roll for that matter.  So, these Peach Brown Butter Sweet Rolls need to happen in my kitchen.

I also love pies.  But I hate making them.  Actually it's the making of the crust that I hate.  So three cheers for free form pies... like hand pies, rustic tarts and galettes.  How about a savoury onion tart with bacon, kale, and feta?  Or maybe a peach galette with bourbon and honey?

I have slept in almost every morning this week, hitting the snooze button way too many times.  I'm tired and unorganised.  This weekend I'm going to try and reset for the week ahead.

If you've read The Girl On The Train, and loved it,  here are twelve other books you might like.

And because it's summer, and because I'm itching for a road trip, I leave you with a quote.


Happy Friday, and happy weekend!

  4. I laughed when you said "a shot a day" ... I would love to be able to limit myself to that. Your life is full of life and joy and fun all depicted in your photos. Love the hot air balloons, though I would never have the courage to go up in one. Lovely post ...

  13. We just had our first roadtrip of the summer. It was definitely more about the destination (Cape Cod), as the journey on the Mass Pike was overwhelming.
    Our next roadtrip is the White Mountains of New Hampshire so I do believe that one will be better for me!
    And now, on to read about cheese.

  16. Fun way to recap your week....the picture of all the boys makes the picture of Costco make all the more sense. We have 2 boys who are in college. When they are home that's what our costco run looks like!
