My housemates and I just dumpstered the most ridiculous amount of overripe bananas.

I made pancakes this morning and have three loaves of banana bread in the oven.
While we could eat eighteen loaves, I'm pretty sure we shouldn't.

Any other suggestions?


Preferably not smoothies or milkshakes. Something I can share with the house.

jackets!

If anyone wants a winter jacket that looks like this:



GAP is having a sale on jackets like that one. In purple, dark blue, black and brown. With taxes it came to less than $100.

The sale runs only until Sunday, and you would need one of those printable coupons that they e-mail. I have one so if you want one, I can e-mail it to you.


This was my very first 3-dimensional fondant cake, and my very first working with a Muay Thai theme. Even though Muay Thai has quite a following here in Singapore, I've never had any requests for such theme, in comparison to boxing. It turned out to be so much fun, and I must say that I find it so much easier and less daunting than the tiered wedding fondant cake I've done before :P

Each glove was approximately 8-inch, and they're basically moist chocolate butter cake layered with a rich chocolate frosting, and covered with fondant. The client wanted to incorporate the message "HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY, YI XIANG", and to be honest, I had no idea how to incorporate so much onto such little space, so I ended up including a towel to put the message :P

Drop by my foodblog, or after the jump for more photos :)

I drove my boyfriend to another city this past weekend so he could take his math subject GRE. I wanted to make it a special trip, so I hunted around for a simple, elegant, no-fuss cake to pack up and bring along. My friend sent me this recipe from Orangette's blog: Gâteau aux Noix, or French Walnut Cake.

This cake has a subtle flavor of white wine, and the toasted walnuts are absolutely delicious. If you're looking for a simple, quick cake to grab a hunk of after dinner, this is the perfect choice.

okay where is the best place to buy a vacuum in this town. I wanna buy something good but I don't wanna spend 6 bills on it. Someone has to know about some super secret vacuum deal in this city I swear to god. Everything I look at that looks awesome they want my first born child. One of you must have vacuum insider tips or I will burn this community to the ground.

Thanks for the help!

A few weeks ago, I posted asking for help finding or extrapolating a pattern for a hat I'd seen in a catalog. I wound up going with the Gilligan Bucket Hat, and I thought I should make a post showing the result:

Does anyone know where to find Steaz soda in Toronto or Oakville?

I know of one location (a health food store) in Oakville but I don't feel like paying $3-$4 a bottle and I actually want a case of it. The stuff is awesome.

Book lovers! Comedy lovers!

Join us on November 15th, 7:30 p.m. at The Central (603 Markham Street) as Burning Effigy Press launches two new titles:

Temporary Monsters, horror novella by Ian Rogers
Felix Renn is a private investigator in a supernatural world, an alternate reality where a dark dimension called The Black Lands co-exists alongside our own. Travelling to and from The Black Lands is dangerous -- and illegal -- but that doesn't stop some of the creatures that reside there from crossing over into our world from time to time. After a man goes berserk in a posh Toronto restaurant, Felix suddenly finds himself torn between both worlds as he is drawn into a deadly game of movies, murder, and monsters.

Operation Dickhead, sci-fi-comedy novella by Mike Bryant
Mark Allread is angry. He is angry because he works in the tech support department of a major Internet provider. But not angry enough to do anything other than complain to his long-suffering girlfriend. That all changes when the President of the World passes a new law requiring anybody he dislikes to have their heads replaced with genitalia. Mark, in response, decides to build an army of the surgically altered in hopes of overthrowing the President and returning people's heads to their original, non-penisized state. They're here. They're Dickheads. Get used to it.

Additional readings by Liisa Ladouceur (of EYE WEEKLY and MuchMoreMusic's Listed fame), Cynthia Gould, Richard Gavin, Timothy Carter and Dale Percy.

And special guest: Comedian and Fringe star Chris Gibbs!
(The Power of Ignorance, Antoine Feval)

No cover. Show starts promptly at 8 p.m.
