chocolate, roses, and possibly a bathtub

Last week, some of my favourite people in the world helped me celebrate my birthday at one of my favourite restaurants in the city (Mildred's Temple Kitchen).


They do truly excellent food (and chocolate calligraphy) there, not to mention amazing presentation, even if my beloved fixed lens can't do it justice.

(We did take more pictures, but a lot of them ended up blurry. Also, this isn't a food blog, although — maybe it should be.)

And then my wonderful husband gave me a dozen roses.


It's lovely being married to someone who knows exactly what you like.

This weekend we set up my mother's laptop for streaming movies and looked at bathroom fixtures, and I really don't want to talk about that. Do you know, it's impossible to make bathroom fixtures exciting, even if they're your own? Seriously, bathtubs are not interesting unless you're in one (and not in a big box store. Then it's just ridiculous).
