I recommend the Carne Adovada Burrito, which was deliciously slow cooked and had the slightest hint of cinnamon. Yum.

These two ladies are insanely crafty and if there is anything I'd like to learn, they can (and are!) my personal tutors. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With Halloween right around the corner I decided that it was time to get started on making costumes for the littles. My mom was always good at making me costumes so I thought that I would give it a go as well. For some unknown reason, I decided the theme this year would be popcorn. With encouragement from my crafty friends, I set out to make my very first costume(s).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I didn't have a pattern but had a clear visual in my head on how I wanted them to turn out. With a quick trip to Jo Anne's, I had all the supplies including wooden letters for me to trace, felt and foam. I unearthed my sewing machine which has been waiting patiently in my storage and got to work. </div>

It's not quite as impressive as it sounds as (a) I was working there at the time, (b) I happened to be in the meeting where we conceived of the idea, and (c) it's a little gift item, not really a book book. But still, we were authors, complete with a listing on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sweetie-Stats-Wife-Hubby-Journal/dp/0811868230/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1350076628&sr=8-1&keywords=sweetie+stats" target="_blank">Amazon</a>, placement in fabulous stores like <a href="http://www.paper-source.com/cgi-bin/paper/index.html" target="_blank">Paper Source</a> and we had our very own ISBN. But last week I got the sad email from my editor, our book was going to be remaindered and sent to the big pile of paper in the sky. I just placed a big order to have on hand but if you have ever wondered, "what is my husband's neck size?", "what was his first pet named?" or "what anniversary gift is for 10 years?", you should buy one too.

Sadly, Mr. Affleck called in "sick" (strep throat, really? he seemed fine the night before at the LA premiere) but he sent Brian Cranston in his place which made my man extremely excited as he's an avid <i>Breaking Bad</i> fan. <br />

We topped the weekend off with an amazing ride on the San Francisco Bay on our friends' boat. Not only were we right below all the planes during their Fleet Week stunts, we were also front row for the <a href="http://www.americascup.com/" target="_blank">America's Cup</a> races. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday in my opinion!</div>

If it's a person, I think, "Should I ask them if I can take their picture?", "Is that weird?", "What if they think I'm a crazy person?" and so on until usually the moment has passed. A few months ago I was walking across the street in downtown Toronto and Alice Cooper was standing on the street corner talking to several people in his entourage wearing a golf shirt and white fedora, it was sort of unnerving. I'm not a fan (at all. sorry.) but to see him just hanging out in very non-Alice Cooper attire was exciting, and I wanted to take his picture. But I didn't. And the moment was gone. I encountered another moment today when I was running errands in Union Square in San Francisco (well, really I was at the dentist but "running errands" sounds more glamorous, right?) and I hesitated. But I turned back just as these three sailors were turning to catch a better look at a giant poodle sauntering down the street and I got this. Perfect.

For someone who is a self-proclaimed non-cook, it was surprisingly easy and tasted delicious. You have to remember to save some of the pasta water to mix with the pesto you prepare, but other than that, it's fool proof. When I make it again, I'll probably double the amount of lemon-basil pesto sauce as I definitely wanted seconds!<br />

And candy. But toast is hands-down my favorite food. When I was in college in Montreal, I basically survived on bagels and thankfully, Montreal is home to the best bagels in the world. There are many a debate on whether New York or Montreal bagels are best but to me, there is no comparison. Soaked in sweet water and then baked in a wood-burning oven? There is simply nothing better. Earlier this week you can imagine my delight when a CASE of Montreal bagels arrived on my doorstep for my birthday. How do you say... best. husband. ever!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxiS-hfuDCTx3lPLV5dmHuxXuJPFX9VzyqHxfZXcTDZnfVkdJm2Lpps0dONl2p3nLEQgIINRx-R3pjlrKQcZ8G1uZ1lH1-1oH-8PF120fML2gNX_3fmGYSY9bnJoPETdmP0YcACA/s1600/bagels.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxiS-hfuDCTx3lPLV5dmHuxXuJPFX9VzyqHxfZXcTDZnfVkdJm2Lpps0dONl2p3nLEQgIINRx-R3pjlrKQcZ8G1uZ1lH1-1oH-8PF120fML2gNX_3fmGYSY9bnJoPETdmP0YcACA/s320/bagels.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5723215615243534658" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:78%;"><i>You can order yours <a href="http://www.stviateurbagel.com/main/">here</a> from St. Viateur</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:78%;"><i> </i></span></div>Toast n' Candyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10220466163215860882noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36423770.post-64676163616875387252012-02-14T14:23:00.002-08:002012-02-14T14:30:07.402-08:00My Love<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEBSUZ2aRlYesk5Y3YDvC-K2a2qq5ExdChvvBUV_6krrpg5bocnzfxm0_zd3KCO2NX02ngVbWHWntfQZZQoFx8FcqC89pspElL0I9LQXZKSdpofo-sW6SPKnc69sz4He_znAC57g/s1600/mkp_heathceramics_sausalito_MG_5881.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEBSUZ2aRlYesk5Y3YDvC-K2a2qq5ExdChvvBUV_6krrpg5bocnzfxm0_zd3KCO2NX02ngVbWHWntfQZZQoFx8FcqC89pspElL0I9LQXZKSdpofo-sW6SPKnc69sz4He_znAC57g/s320/mkp_heathceramics_sausalito_MG_5881.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5709121850630305250" /></a><br />It's been 14 years since our mutual innocent crushes blossomed into a whirlwind romance on a fateful trip to NYC.

With all the bottle washing I do, my hands are an absolute mess, so I slathered it on and went on my way. Well, that was over 2 hours ago and I'm still sniffing my hands every few minutes.

It's a far cry from where I grew up in Eastern Canada where my mother assures me they are having a mild winter but are still covered in snow and ice. (No thank you!) So, I don't really need to "get away" from anything per se but a change of scenery is in order. We're packing up the family and heading to Palm Springs for a long weekend to celebrate my hubby's birthday on Friday and I couldn't be more excited. We travel regularly to Palm Springs where we always stayed in one of our <a href="http://www.korakia.com/">favorite hotels</a> but unfortunately they don't allow little guests. We're bummed but excited to try something new.

When I got to Target, this is what I found...<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/ToastnCandy/BloggerPictures?authkey=Gv1sRgCLHv0qqZ9tmbvAE#5652053551756002418'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnikAWQ8FoWtDNz1JVXnTsvyfqsRZMYSwyoCQM3go8nz_NEqOUkOBIQuk23xAv2QzRjx17ak_HQfpXW2_cCWuQvelrFE5RfhujOLIH2rmyNrTvxIYGqixWrHsmqQFlKT3pxarojw/s288/iphone_photo.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Nothing! EVERYTHING had been cleared out. Shelves were bare. No Missoni for me.<br /><br />But then I ran into a friend near the checkout who had just come from a different location and she was bragging about her haul. I followed her to her car to find this...<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/ToastnCandy/BloggerPictures?authkey=Gv1sRgCLHv0qqZ9tmbvAE#5652053555799438402'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjXMCriPsJsTk0uRlQNmnHgKE5eLQlYDObj59Pf3naij5zMyPQBom7XKrwkRyF6jZ2BkQj9rhDdS6fsZ037-baOcggKedcVAeyu4gshv-Yxw9kBnnBFqA7f15zhNZW0lul7tLKBQ/s288/iphone_photo.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />She had bought it all!

I love it. It's deliciously voyeuristic and sucks me in imagining what the person is like who is reading the book and I giggle thinking about my friend taking these stealth photos. I don't have much time for reading books right now (although I'm finding I really like to do so on my iPad when I can steal a spare moment) so this allows me to archive all the books that I want to get to. I have a few on the go that I need to finish already!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEV35xj4epseTS8KsLGu3bquWmpoVvpQ2PJLI0jWCM8ZIsxSgKbUwGpZEMPT-HnZW8TBfFyGK8JfSkhILb20FVXhbFnZPW6i26VsuQXWXJlTDqypU9gv79xsdptPQIoc47A_J1Tg/s1600/9780399155345.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEV35xj4epseTS8KsLGu3bquWmpoVvpQ2PJLI0jWCM8ZIsxSgKbUwGpZEMPT-HnZW8TBfFyGK8JfSkhILb20FVXhbFnZPW6i26VsuQXWXJlTDqypU9gv79xsdptPQIoc47A_J1Tg/s320/9780399155345.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650113769961311346" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780399155345/Kathryn-Stockett/Help">The Help</a> by Kathryn Stockett (started long before all the movie hype)</span><br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWv3L-QBTg1g4sL2lDTlQeO5Y47XVRdT-T-539hy6N1CK_Wyr49uz0zd6qLVNyRfS9zGhLYKnvJNNZicAW47krtMBXIFCozw5y6eZgWruRh3oAs2GpXdyWpOzVpmjhUiIyCrf1hA/s1600/9780446694865.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 210px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWv3L-QBTg1g4sL2lDTlQeO5Y47XVRdT-T-539hy6N1CK_Wyr49uz0zd6qLVNyRfS9zGhLYKnvJNNZicAW47krtMBXIFCozw5y6eZgWruRh3oAs2GpXdyWpOzVpmjhUiIyCrf1hA/s320/9780446694865.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650114333418000242" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780446694865">An Inconvenient Wife </a>by Megan Chance (for my bookclub, but I didn't finish it before the meeting)<br /></span></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX-LRIySkjeuNbMOs_k0qPfjsONcyf5Es9srIT7fwCz04nHgM_8INM6ofDtZTuGMnsdF85V-PjeocflIQWyGcsughHzK_n8XZjXCs8VW0xWlKvgEA-vV_kmgBRa-aIw3hQ3Cm5HQ/s1600/9780385523394.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 207px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX-LRIySkjeuNbMOs_k0qPfjsONcyf5Es9srIT7fwCz04nHgM_8INM6ofDtZTuGMnsdF85V-PjeocflIQWyGcsughHzK_n8XZjXCs8VW0xWlKvgEA-vV_kmgBRa-aIw3hQ3Cm5HQ/s320/9780385523394.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650114894396732306" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780385523394">Orange is the New Black</a> by Piper Kerman (my next bookclub selection)<br /></span></div><br />What are you reading?Toast n' Candyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10220466163215860882noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36423770.post-42533407791180757662011-08-29T14:41:00.000-07:002011-08-29T14:47:49.383-07:00Robots are AwesomeI just came across this adorable <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/80368296/linocut-print-robots-in-love-orange?ref=fp_ph_13&src=favitm">print</a> on my friend's <a href="http://howemoneypit.wordpress.com/2011/08/28/robots-in-love/#comment-81">blog</a> and I <span style="font-style: italic;">must</span> have it for little H & H's room.

I was walking back from the grocery store last night and couldn't help daydreaming about sipping mulled wine and eating pumpkin scones. Of course, with Fall comes fashion. The September issues will be hitting in a few weeks and I'm getting a head start on what I'd like to update my wardrobe with and get ready for the chilly days ahead. This gorgeous bag has definitely made my list.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglqCVWv-4h76sEVssk8lsImERQXvtXw2Nsi2s8c88PneyNIwkiRyLk0QixWygIzbx7Z78F9pP5cS3_CryXybUt2m99CK0nq65cNG0BvL2vUgZzmLxV_Zjorv1IjQapeNGNXNZbNQ/s1600/18215_arnat_a0.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 170px; height: 170px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglqCVWv-4h76sEVssk8lsImERQXvtXw2Nsi2s8c88PneyNIwkiRyLk0QixWygIzbx7Z78F9pP5cS3_CryXybUt2m99CK0nq65cNG0BvL2vUgZzmLxV_Zjorv1IjQapeNGNXNZbNQ/s320/18215_arnat_a0.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628974973814506466" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.coach.com/online/handbags/-handbags_silhouettes_shoulder-10551-10051-5000000000000015034-en?t1Id=62&t2Id=5000000000000015034&tier=2&LOC=CC">CHELSEA FLAGSHIP EMBOSSED PYTHON DOWEL FLAP</a> by Coach<br /></span></span></div>Toast n' Candyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10220466163215860882noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36423770.post-52172062716346060562011-07-06T20:56:00.000-07:002011-07-06T21:07:42.329-07:00Eggie GoodnessWith the little ones at home, I have very little time these days and eating a balanced meal is not the easiest thing to achieve. Luckily, I came across these yummy <a href="http://www.thesweetbeet.com/egg-muffin/">breakfast egg muffins</a> on <a href="http://pinterest.com/toastncandy/">Pinterest</a> a few weeks ago and I stole a few minutes this week to whip them together. It was super easy and healthy as well.
