Simple Summer.

I am most definitely in need of a second shower today – after all that attic work and then a later afternoon steamy walk with Faith, followed by some pool deck reading before yoga, then yoga, I’m all sweat!

2012-06-19 16.30.29

I had a little time to kill inbetween our walk and yoga, so I went up to the rooftop of ACAC for a little reading.

Shade please! [Too bad I left my suit at home]

2012-06-19 16.30.10

Prepared with a snack: 2 dates and a handful of vanilla maple almonds

2012-06-19 16.30.04

Yoga was a great stretch, and then I walked home to dinner on the table.

Karen brought over some sausage lasagna she made and all we had to do was heat it up. It was a fabulous lasagna – it’s Karen’s specialty!

IMG_2552

On the side – the usual. Garden greens (love how tender our buttercrunch lettuce is!) with avocado and pecans, and a dressing of just a drizzle of honey and olive oil.

After dinner playing!

I should probably be in the basement – it’s about 20 degrees cooler down there!

    We are in a heat wave here in Southern Ontario…we finally broke down and put on the AC tonight! Tomorrow I am baking up a storm of allergen friendly cupcakes for my son’s Grade 8 Graduation…with the humidex to hit somewhere in the 40 Celcius range…I think I might be needing it! Lasagne with salad looks awesome! So cheesy!

    It was 95 here in WI today and H U M I D. I went out on my porch to water my plants and it’s still super thick. Definitely head to the basement – I can’t believe you managed a walk in this. Holy cow! 🙂

    Mmm I love lasagna. I think I’m do for making a pan so I can freeze the leftovers for easy re-heatable dinners!

      I think slightly different… With ricotta and sausage instead of cottage cheese and veggies

    Our daughter & I were totally in the pool today, because it was very hot outside! It was even 90 degrees around 6:45PM or so.

    Hi Kath,

    First of all, I love when you are back home from travelling because I love to see what you and Matt make at home. It’s far more interesting than any restaurant orders.! Simple yet so creative.

    Question about the avocado and something that I struggle with. Do you end up using the entire avocado at once? Is that why it looks so fresh? I usually use half on my salads and the other half goes into the fridge for the next day. But the next day, it’s inevitably brown. :/ The lime/lemon juice on top doesn’t work that well….thanks.

      This one is two days old, stored in fridge, with pit, in plastic wrap. I think you have to eat them sooner than you think to keep them green longer

    Before reading your blog I never would have imagined using simply olive oil and honey on a salad. Now, that’s all I prefer. Thanks for always inspiring me to think outside of the box (or bottle rather)!

    The basement is my favourite place to escape to on hot days! Sometimes I’ll even set up a bed on the couch and sleep down there!

    Also that rooftop deck looks so peaceful! What a great place to relax.

    Have you been trying to explain to the cat that a baby is coming along and that its play time will be decreased in months to come? Ha
