Dry Spell Has to End

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I have been popping my head into the local Value Village lately, but the cupboards have been bare and I mean BARE. I don't have a lot of money to be splashing about either, so it's just as well that I haven't found piles of goodies. Even thrifted finds can add up if you're not careful.

I'm hoping that this dry spell will end soon and if good fortune comes my way, I'll be able to share some photos by the weekend.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Here's my favourite U2 song. Ahh, the memories...

For Those in Japan

Most Beautiful Blog Ever?

There are so many beautiful blogs out there, but I just had to mention An Apple a Day. Does anyone else know about it? I love nature and it's filled with gorgeous photos of flora. Click and take a little journey.

That's The Way the Apple Crumbles

Here's what you get when you put some Friendship Pyrex together with some beautiful Gala apples...

Mmm...

Crisp or Crumble?

I'm going to make apple crisp with Duncan today and I'm going to try to bake it in my Friendship Pyrex dish.

Do you call it apple crisp or apple crumble? I've heard it called both. I may have to ask my mother to settle this one. I think whatever you grew up calling it is best. I just can't remember what we called it growing up. I'll post some pictures later.

Cheerio,

Erin

P.S. Here's another piece of eighties gold. ABC actually have this lyric in "That Was Then But This is Now": "Can't complain, mustn't grumble, help yourself to another piece of apple crumble." I'm not making it up. See for yourself at 1:11-1:20. I guess I mustn't grumble.

Thom Yorke & facebook Keeping

A while back, someone I worked with created a facebook account for me. I never used it, but I did receive emails telling me that people I barely remembered from elementary school were wanting to get in touch. This was nice, but weird. In the past year, I've started receiving similar emails, but from students at the school I teach at. This is even weirder. Yesterday, I pulled the facebook plug and I felt liberated. My family and current friends and blogging buddies matter the most. Everything else is just in the past. Memories should be just that, I think. RIP facebook page.

If you like Radiohead, you probably already know about this, but YouTube is filled with Dancing Thom videos right now. Some of them are very funny. People are photoshopping all kinds of things in. If you're sitting there, bored at work - have a look. You'll be laughing.

I don't condone guns and killing, but this is pretty funny too.
