My First Real Meal in My New Apartment

Por: Crystal LS | 0 comments | Labels: apartment, cooking, Food, meal, Moving, pork

Broke in my kitchen tonight, pots and pans flyin'. Found out that my oven is quite cool, and my stovetop is quite hot. Good to know.

Made a delicious mango and scallion chutney to go with orange glazed pork. (I changed the recipe, since it was supposed to be plums and I couldn't get any!) Added some butter lettuce with blue cheese and pan fried toast with a bit of cajun spice. Oh, and some carrots for color. Delicious!

And the best part? Leftovers for tomorrow! Made up my bento box and now can't wait!

My Favorite Bakery

Por: Crystal LS | 0 comments | Labels: bakery, Food, honey

Just by my house, beside the skytrain station is this great little Japanese bakery! It's called Kam Do Bakery and every single thing they make is separately wrapped in little cello bags. Really cute and delicious! Picked up some "White Buns" (?) and had them deliciously drizzled with honey at home!

In honor of finishing a giant crochet blanket (finally) I'm posting this self portrait I did a while back.

No, your not going blind, it's supposed to look blurry.
