More Smitten Kitchen dining (as always). My parents came to visit last weekend and brought some things to spruce up our back deck. These peonies came from my mother's garden and have rotated around the apartment all week.

The Monkey's Paw is having an exhibition at 1080 Queen St. West. Really nice prints and an extensive collection of Penguin Classics.

Carlos and I also finally tried Porchetta and Co. (!!!) Just. so. good. TRUFFLE SAUCE every day, please.


I posted about Korean magazine Versus awhile ago, but I really love it.
Lots of shade in our backyard!

First BBQ of the season. When my parents came, they also brought Carlos a little bbq for his birthday (Happy Birthday Carlos!). We tried it out last night for dinner (started with hotdogs from The Healthy Butcher - gotta work our way up). We also learned a great tip regarding corn on the cob - squeeze lime juice on it when buttering it up. It was seriously the best. Thanks Daniella!

Summerrrrr!! Oh man, so glad you tried Porchetta & Co. It's so delicious!
