It's a lunch date!

I have to admit I am fairly good at bringing my lunch to work everyday except Friday, which is eat out with the ladies day.  Normally it would be leftovers but since I have recently become single I have not been as motivated to cook for myself at night.

My coworker is not good at bringing a lunch at all and I think in the last three years we have worked together she may have brought a lunch six times.  I can tell you she is a very good cook though.

We have decided that every Tuesday we are going to alternate bringing lunch for each other.  I am looking very forward to our new arrangement as I think it will spice up my lunch week and hopefully motivate her to bring a lunch at least once a week.  This seems like a win win situation for both of us.

Now I am on the search for interesting lunch ideas and recipes to make to wow here with my cooking skills.  It is so much more enjoyable to cook for someone else as well as yourself.

Do you have any ideas?  I am very interested for you to share them.

My Cup O Tea

Over the years I have become a fan of tea.  My favourites are non-caffeine.  Green Teas, herbal teas and rooibus.  Almost any loose leaf tea will do.  I once got chamomile tea from a friends parents and it was really just a whole baggie of chamomile flowers.....it was from a place in Sarnia, Ontario but I am not sure exactly where.  It just seems so much fresher when you can recognize it by sight.... In June while on vacation I found a tea store selling hand tied leaves.  What a fantastic aroma of jasmine.  It is the Madame Butterfly tea by Capital Teas (www.capitalteas.com).  It was very expensive and I just couldn't afford it but they certainly had lots of great teas. My most recent vacation in Florida found me in the Spice and Tea Exchange (www.spiceandtea.com) where I purchased a small bag of loose leaf hazelnut cookie tea.  Ceylon black base so not my usual herbal but wonderful smell and tastes very rich.  An enjoyable tea....

Where is the balance?

Everyday I wake up with big plans of getting some exercise, making some jewelry, Christmas decorations and cards and somehow it is now just before Christmas and I have not gotten in any better shape and have only made one pair of earrings this year....Where is the balance? How do I stop everyday life from stopping me.  By the time I get home from work, make dinner and do all the things I have to do which now also include a college course and a volunteer position I have no time for the things I set out to do at the beginning of the year.  I do not know where I could possibly squeeze in another hour or so....I am already exhausted.  I had mistakenly thought that when I sold my house and no longer had that maintenance to look after I would have more time...nope not so.  Okay so I got a job that I only work 35 hours a week and get off at 2:30 on Fridays and I could use that time....nope....now it just gets used for errands most times.... I keep asking myself this q...
