P&PS

When I sat down to write up this post I fully expected to have another tale of cooking!fail to tell you about.  I had after all messed up big time.  I expected to have a good laugh, eat some mediocre food and move on with my day.  Boy was I wrong. It all started as most kitchen adventures do, in the local food co-op.  I had finished up my shopping and had turned down an aisle to make my way to the register when I saw it: the maroon paper bag proclaiming ‘no sugar added’!  I looked at my overflowing cart and thought I don’t really need muffin mix.  Normally I’d have everything I need to make muffins at home in the cupboard, but I’ve been packed for the move that’s never happening for ages and I’d be lucky if I had any baking soda left let alone muffin mix, so I waivered.  I thought it had to have something else in it, something that would make me put the bag back down but it didn’t, so I splurged, and splurged some more on some blueberries. Today, sin...

Need by Carrie Jones 3 out of 5 stars Summary:  Zara White suspects there's a freaky guy semi-stalking her. She's also obsessed with phobias. And it's true, she hasn't exactly been herself since her stepfather died. But exiling her to shivery Maine to live with her grandmother? That seems a bit extreme. The move is supposed to help her stay sane...but Zara's pretty sure her mom just can't deal with her right now. She couldn't be more wrong. Turns out the semi-stalker is not a figment of Zara's overactive imagination. In fact, he's still following her, leaving behind an eerie trail of gold dust. There's something not right - not human - in this sleepy Maine town, and all signs point to Zara. In this creepy, compelling breakout novel, Carrie Jones delivers romance, suspense, and a creature you never thought you'd have to fear. Favorite Quotes: “There is something about libraries, old libraries, that makes them seem almost sacred. There...

I’ve gone and fallen in love with Flashpoint .  I hadn’t intended to.  It started out a lot like most other things with me watching a couple of episodes with *insert favorite actor here* (Pacale Hutton, in this case, for those of you who are wondering).  The episodes were good, really good, but I chalked it up to the amount of glee I had over cop uniforms and the CN Tower.  I’m really not hard to please when it comes to all things Canadian, but then I watched another episode.  I had an hour before bed, no biggie, but one turned into two, I feel in love with the characters and I was hooked.  And since it’s been awhile since we’ve had some Canada <3 on this blog, here’s a bit of Toronto themed goodness.

::Daniela Andrade:: Things We’ve Said EP Tumblr // YouTube // Website About the Album: This is Daniela’s first album and I have to say it’s about time.  I’ve been waiting excitedly and expectantly since I first heard she was in the studio recording. First Encounter: I can’t remember how, but I do know the first song I heard of hers was her cover of Somebody Loved .  I’m not a fan of the original song so I was a bit skeptical going in, but that didn’t last long, I was mesmerized.  That afternoon I remember going through her channel listening to her songs wishing she had an album out so I could buy because I was pretty sure YouTube was going to come after me for abusing the replay button.  The EP: There are seven songs on the EP, all of which I love.  I couldn’t pick a favorite if you asked me to both because they’re all awesome and because it really depends on what kind of mood I’m in.  Daniela’s music is more upbeat than most of the stuff I lis...
