It's Fall, I needed some new projects, food, style, crafts, etc.
I fell in love with the leek, now I see why it's called the king of onions. I really only made one dish, pasta with a creamy goat cheese sauce topped with garlic sautéed mushrooms and leeks, but it was so delicious I need to put leeks in everything! I really should have taken a picture.
I finally ordered my long coveted sweater. I'm very sure that all of you have heard me talk about a particular hand-made in Vancouver, wool sweater, that just happens to have David Suzuki's face knitted into the back of it! You heard me, his face. I have been yackin' about it for more than a year, saving my pennies, dreaming… And in two more weeks, it will be in my grubby little hands.

Or wait for my Blog post in two weeks…Halloween was a success, ran out of candy and not because I ate it! Had some really cute and enthusiastic trick or treaters although I was not able to scare any of them. Pretty sure I scared some adults with my black teeth though.
Also caught the costuming bug, anyone in need of costuming services? I feel like I could make costumes for the rest of my life.
If you are looking for a movie to go see, new out is 'St. Vincent' and it's really great, funny and touching. That's right, Bill Murray is touching. I recommend it, and also, buy the popcorn. It's worth it. (But don't buy the butter, it's not.)
The most important discovery was home made Boursin style soft flavoured cheese. I could eat a whole lot of the stuff, indeed I do. So much so that I bought a large log from Costco and made some delicious variations! Recipe is not really needed. It's about1/4 cup goat cheese
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 clove garlic
1/2 tsp oregano
Or you could use any type of spices you like!
In the one on the left, I added an oven roasted tomato, so good.
Now, we prepare for Christmas! Hooray! (The most glittery holiday.) If I start now, I can probably glitter a lot of stuff...
