Week 38: Sunday, September 19th, 2010

So the second post for today. I went for a walk around Kingston, and ended up having iced tea with some friends downtown. I really liked the colors in this shot - although I can't say I recommend the cranberry apple iced tea from the Tea Room.

Week 37: Sunday, September 19th, 2010

So a double post today. I love to cook, and potlucks give me a great chance to experiment with new dishes on unsuspecting groups of people ... I mean ... um ... create delicious dishes that I have made several times before and know how they're going to turn out! :)

I digress. So this week's shot was a Mexican bean salad I made for a potluck. The main ingredients are black beans, red kidney beans and white kidney beans, as well as bell peppers, sweetcorn and red onions. The real kicker is the dressing though - so delicious!! For those interested in recreating it, you can find the recipe here

Just fyi - I substituted Tabasco for hot pepper sauce, and regular vinegar for red wine vinegar. I also added in some garam masala for kicks.

Week 37: Upcoming!

So the good news is that I have a shot done for this week. The bad news is that I don't have internet at home, and my new work computer is locked down so I can't upload from here either. Hopefully I'll have internet by Friday, so there'll be two new shots up this week! (Weeks 37 and 38!)

Week 35: Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

So I'm currently in between places - I'm moving to Kingston to start my PhD this September, so I'm splitting my time between Ottawa and there while I move down all my stuff.

This week's shot is pretty self-explanatory and will be familiar to anyone who has ever moved in a small car. I don't know how my parents do it, but every time I think I've filled up my car to capacity, they manage to fit in a bookshelf, or a chair, or a suitcase, or they move something and out pops an elephant wearing a top hat. It's nothing short of a miracle.

Week 34: Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

So this week's shot is from the Citizenship Office in Ottawa. As some of you know, this week I received my Canadian Citizenship, and I took this shot while I was waiting for the judge to arrive.

Week 33: Monday, August 16th, 2010

So a few updates this week. This post is rather link heavy, so you are forewarned.

New albums are up! I've now got albums from the Tulip Festival (link), the CSEB Conference (link) and the Canadian Obesity Network Student Conference (link) all up on the Picasa site (link). Check it out!

I just got back from Quebec City and the Obesity Boot Camp, so there is also an album up with pics from there! (link)

This week's shot was taken at L'Astral, a revolving restaurant located in the heart of Quebec City (link). It's an absolutely breathtaking view, and was a great opportunity for me to get some awesome panoramic shots of Quebec City. Plus, the food was amazing! However, the little pieces of butter in the Fleur de lis really stole the show. Plus, they were delicious.
