Homemade!

Homemade eggs Benny!
This was delicious, and not as difficult as I thought it would be (though I did have a low-level freak out mid-way through making the hollandaise). I would do it again!

Bicycle Thief: UPDATE

I got my bike back! I was riding down the street on my brother's old bike, on the way to the shop to fix it up, and ran into a man riding my bike. I screamed "That's MY BIKE!!!" and he was super nice and gave it back without a fuss. Thanks dude!

I bought an expensive new lock, but the other night someone stole my seat, post and all! It was not a quick release, it required an allen key. Now that I've replaced that, I will be keeping my bike on my back deck, even though it means carrying it up and down a very narrow flight of stairs all the time. Damn thieves!

Bicycle Thief

My bicycle was stolen from outside my apartment, and I'm devastated. I loved my bike so much. It looked cool and it just worked perfectly all the time, even when I left it out in the snow on my deck all winter (sorry bike!). Since I am terrible at photos and never take any, I don't have any pictures of it, but my friend Sarah and I found some of the same bike online. It's actually a pretty rare model that was only made for a few years.


It was this model, but without the chain guard.
Also, I recently got a nice new brown leather seat and awesome cork grips. Poor bike.

Sarah made this post for me: http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/tor/bik/2539453412.html Tell your friends!

A friend had a bike stolen recently and saw it around the neighbourhood and managed to get it back. I am really hoping that this will happen to me. I will be keeping my eyes peeled, and let me tell you, if I see somebody riding around on my bike I'll be on them like a cast member on The Challenge who has just been thrown into the jungle. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you really should be watching more MTV.

Haw Cheese

Yesterday my friend offered me a candy, sort of. It was called "Haw Cheese" but my friend assured me that it was not made of cheese.
