winterlicious 2007



tonight, thanks to justin's persistence in making dinner reservations during winterlicious, we had dinner at auberge du pommier. the restaurant was homey, comfortable, and the atmosphere was so...relaxing. as for the service, even though we were probably the youngest people there (minus the little children with their family), the service was still excellent - unlike at other restuarants where they treat their younger customers like crap. with respect to the food...well...i'll just say that my tastebuds had the time of their lives yesterday. :d there was literally a party going on in my mouth which lasted 1.5 hours straight. the food was absolutely amazing. i'll never be able to eat salmon again. haha. anyway, i know i'll never be able to describe the food, so here are some pics.


starters: salted olives and some kind of spread they gave us for our bread.


appetizers: Salad d’Hiver // Potage of Golden Potato & French Shallot


main courses: Salmon Grillée // Entrecôte de Veau


desserts: Warm Brioche & Butter Pudding // Tart au Chocolat // Mignardise


great restaurant, great food, great company...thanks justin for a great night - i'm a lucky girl! :)

snowflakes keep fallin' on my head.



well, the canadian winter has finally found its way to toronto. snow is on the ground, it's not abnormally warm, and things feel normal again. there's something about snow that makes me feel like a 6 year old...i love it! i love the way it crunches beneath your boots, the way it falls and sticks to your hair and coat, the way it sparkles in the light of street lamps at night, and the way it covers the earth, making it look like someone spilled a bag of frosting sugar everywhere. yep, snow is great! well, until it turns into brown slushy crap. ughh.

so get on your toques, scarves, mittens, boots, and winter coats and go on outside! just remember, stay away from the yellow snow patches. o_O

relient k | be my escape

I’ve given up on giving up slowly,
I’m blending in so You won’t even know me
Apart from this whole world that shares my fate
This one last bullet you mention
Is my one last shot at redemption
Cause I know to live you must give your life away

And I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity
And I’ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because

I gotta get outta here
I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get outta here
And I’m begging You, I’m begging You, I’m begging You to be my escape.

I’m giving up on doing this alone now
Cause I’ve failed and I’m ready to be shown how
He’s told me the way and I’m trying to get there
And this life sentence that I’m serving
I admit that I’m every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair

Cause I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity
And I’ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because

I gotta get outta here
Cause I’m afraid that this complacency is something I can’t shake
I gotta get outta here
And I’m begging You, I’m begging You, I’m begging You to be my escape.

I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self detained and forced to live in this mess I’ve made
And all I’m asking is for You to do what You can with me
But I can’t ask You to give what You already gave

Cause I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity
And I’ve been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because

I’ve gotta get outta here
I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I’ve gotta get outta here
And I’m begging You, I’m begging You, I’m begging
You to be my escape.

I fought You for so long
I should have let You in
Oh how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
But so were You

So were You
