Temperature's Rising

Good morning on what is a rainy monday morning here in Mississauga.  I hope your day is going better than mine.  I'm spiking red on the high end of the thermometer so there will be no postings today.  Have a great day!

A taste of Brazil Bakery

Busy week as the renovations are slowly coming to a close. Really happy about that. I am looking forward to getting back to a regular routine around the living quarters. But the fun is only beginning as anyone who has moved knows that preparing the house for staging is just as tedious as the renovations themselves.   While much of the belongings are making their way into boxes and storage bins (I've been to every storage bin sale you can think of) over the past month, it still seems like there is a lot to do.  But life can't be all work so as usual this past Sunday Bloggin B ventured out to sample some of the wide variety of foods Mississauga has to offer.  Originally I had planned to track down perogis and cabbage rolls but I was passing by Brazil Bakery and said you know what I've never been in here.  So off I went to sample a few of their menu items.

The Apple Strudels (pictured left) are really really good.  Definately would go back to pick up some more of those.  Also the veal sandwich with cheese, mushroom and onion sauce for 4.95 is a reasonably priced sandwich.  The onions were a little chunky in the sauce but a good veal sandwich all around.  I also picked up some fresh coffee which is on the lighter side.  Not a big coffee drinker but I like mine more like an expresso.  Preference is preference.

So if you are in the neighbourhood of Erin Mills drop by and check them out sometime.  They have a nice selection of pasteries.  They have big macaroons also, who doesn't like macaroons?  Friendly and upbeat staff also helps make a little sit in joint all the more enjoyable.

Every once in a while you just have to get up and dance. This picture was taken during one of many improve performances at the annual Oakville Midnight Madness street performances. Get your salsa on!

Favorites

So the game is over and done, now all we have to do is talk about the Halftime Show, Beyonce's strip tease entourage, The Illuminati turning off the power, return of Destiny's Child and of course the commercials its all about the commercials. I didn't watch the entire game not going to lie, because first off I'm just not all that into football and second once the Iron Man 3 trailer hit I had no reason to continue watching.  Let's be honest this year its all about Tony Stark.  But I have to admit was actually quite amusing when the power went off and the twitter feeds went hysteric with two rivaling theories on the cause....  Beyonce's electrifying performance ultimately drained all the power and secondly well who else can we blame but the Illuminati.  So there you have it folks entertainment at its finest...



So what we're your favorite commercials for Superbowl 2013?  I have mine listed below (embedded)







 

On the agenda

I can feel the chill here from my bedroom without looking out the window to know this is an indoor day.  But that's ok I have a full list of projects on the go.  I smell bacon.  I love bacon.  I guess top of the morning to ya is in order.   I rarely sleep in so I'm rather enjoying that I did.  Ok enough gloating time to get up.  

Have my Blueberry Green Tea now so I'm warming the engines for what's going to be a busy weekend.  Plus I have a little sniffle thing going on.  Today's itinerary consists of: painting, photography project, a little school reading, homework, blogging, more renovations and culinary foodies adventures still deciding....  (when will the madness end?) 

I'm also due for a movie and seeing there's bunch of new releases to choose from.  Hansel and Gretel... hmmm meh (we'll save that one for later)... Warm Bodies... I have tea thank you very much.... (I'm lying secretly I'm like yeah zombies!!!)  Stand up Guys  ooooohhhhh now we're talking.  Choices choices.  So while I ponder,  feast your eyes on some photocandy.. Hey everyone who comes to the party gets a loot bag! That's what mom said and I'm with mom. I've decided perogies we're going eastern European this weekend. Cabbage rolls may also be in order.  Any suggesions hit up the open mic below. 

And for your prying eyes this week's Character Wednesday's we take a look into He-man Origin and Masters of the Universe #6,  Superior Spiderman 1 and 2.  As well as an indepth look at Injustice Gods Among Us.  Have a great Saturday everyone!

FotoFriday: Copatville

Today's FotoFriday feature is CopatVille. One of my close family friends has a tradition of building a Christmas Village. Over the years she has collected the different buildings and citizens of "Copatville". This mini city is quite the site to see... Here are a few snapshots from the set which you can view the rest over at FlickR.
