must be Santa

I think Santa must have dropped off a big bag of bagels at the Carousel Bakery in St. Lawrence Market for me.
It's more likely that their baker, who hails from Montreal, knows how to make delicious bagels. They're not quite the Montreal style (which I find too small) but I definitely enjoyed them. Normally I go to the Carousel Bakery so one of the employees can tell me that their beautiful, large whole wheat sandwich loaf for $1.95 is sold out, but the six bagels were on sale for the same price.




Air freshener. I mean, veggie stock. I'm not quite sure why I took a picture of it.




This is my IKEA tree. It's a bit scrawny and lopsided, but I love it anyway. It's sort of a work in progress.




Peanut butter and date cookies because I haven't made cookies in forever.




Why is this (overexposed) fruit and wine crumble floating above Adelaide Street?




You may have noticed that these little aluminum pans keep showing up. They're from my school and although they're quite handy I would not buy them for myself. I should get a glass dish that size though.
This is a shepherd's pie with a Duchesse potato mixture (about a kg. of yukon gold, two egg yolks and a pinch of nutmeg) piped on top. Why we couldn't just throw mashed potatoes on there I have no idea. As you can see I still need to practice my piping.
You should ALSO note (Mom) that this is a shepherd's pie because I added ground lamb. It would be a cottage pie if made with beef.

Those pumpernickel bagels look so yummy. As do the cookies - I just made white chocolate macadamia cookies tonight.

I didn't know that about Shepherd's Pie - which do you like better?

Here's my recipe for Couch Potato Pie: layer of baked peas, layer of green peas, layer of mashed potatoes. Bake. Ha ha ha! Actually, it's good.

Oh and I love the tree - I think it has personality. We still need to get ours!

The pumpernickel bagels were indeed sinfully dark and delicious. I'm not sure if I like shepherd's pie or cottage pie better, I like both beefs and lambs very much.

What's a baked pea?

I think my tree is pretty ugly and lopsided, but I tried to hide the ugly side in the corner.

Oh, I suck, I meant baked beans!

I like most ground animals. I don't discriminate.
