November 4, 2009 // my life news

1. I think slow-cookers are sexy. So, when I heard about the "Make it Fast, Cook it Slow" cookbook, I headed to chapters online asap and punched in the credit card and waited by the door for the package like a small child. The cookbook is the creation of blogger Stephanie O'Dea who cooked with a slow cooker for 365 days and put all her successes in a book.
I had tried some of her recipes before and was optimistic about the book and it does not disappoint. The recipes are simple, gluten-free and inspired. This isn't your regular slow-cooker book.
My apologies to the friendly people who were trying to talk to me while our kids had swimming lessons together, I wasn't being rude, I just LOVE a new cookbook and couldn't keep my nose out of it.
Oh - Christine just came in the door and told me she just got a slow cooker from her hubby - told you they were sexy.

2. I don't know how I missed this, why didn't anyone tell me? A little movie house in Cumberland, oh, how I love that. 

3. Mark John's, no idea how I found his work, but I have had it bookmarked for at least a year now and look at it regularly. Cheeky humour + art = hart (ok, I couldn't resist, sorry)

4. All the stuff happening around town. This Sunday check out The One Big Earth family heritage experience at the Filberg Park Who knew a small town could rock out November like we do.

Off to shoot, and then shoot and then shoot. I am working on keeping tue and fri as office days and shooting tue, wed and sat - we'll see how that goes. I was going to add a photo with today's post, but then I would be late and that would be pretty lame.

I'm loving your love list. I LOVE my slowcooker and can't wait to get my hands on that book. Our new movie house is super cute - maybe we should have a date since I have yet to get there?!
