606. Recent Life

So I have one more post left from my Rockies Roadtrip...then I should get back to posting the rest from my Asia trip which was exactly one year ago!!! My Asia trip last year was Oct 14 to Nov 8 2016. Right now I still have 32 more posts to make from that lol. & I am determined to post it all. I think I will be going back to Asia (& Europe) within the next year so I should finish those posts before my next trip.

The weather here in Toronto has gotten really cold now. I started wearing my winter clothes and last night I even turned on the heat. I can't believe it's almost the Christmas season again. This year flew by so fast. It feels like just yesterday I was in Asia when it was already a year ago. & I still remember my Christmas and New Year's celebrations as if they just happened. It was a really good year for me (starting with my major renovations which I am still obsessed with and haven't fully completed yet) and right now I am probably the happiest I've ever been. I am excited for what is to come. It's funny how life can change so drastically and unexpectedly in such a short amount of time. More on this in a future post. It's still too early to do a "year in review" type of post lol.

Here are some photos from the past few weeks which I realize now consist of 90% food. I am going to make a conscious effort from now on to take less food pics and more of other things (like I used to do years ago on this blog)

I recently discovered Sud Forno which actually opened a few months ago, literally a 3 minute walk from my place, and I can't believe it took me so long to go. It's not my new food/restaurant addiction. I even came here one day when I wasn't even hungry but just for the sake of going since I love it so much. The food is really good and the decor is beautiful.

Something maybe a bit strange about me is that I really dislike chocolate. The only chocolate-y thing I LOVE is Torta Caprese. I first tried this when I went to Capri last year and my hotel gave me a delicious one. Since then I have tried to find a good one in Toronto but haven't been successful until I discovered Sud Forno's. It was amazing. Tastes a bit different from the one I had in Capri but it was still delicious and I will be going back quite often for it.

You may remember my pumpkin obsession which started at the beginning of Autumn. Tonight I finally made a pumpkin pasta which was I must say is really really good. I don't know why I didn't think it would be that good when I first started making it lol. It is probably my favourite pasta I've ever made. I made it with pumpkin puree, spinach, mushrooms, and a bit of coconut milk. I have a few more cans of pumpkin so trying to decide what to make next.
