My Favorite Things (this week)

My favorite things lately, in no particular order (and no relation to "raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens"): Monarch butterflies - can you find 3 in the zinnias? Inukshuks - common in Ontario, Canada and now popping up all over the Burlington waterfront. In-laws - So glad I married into the Thabault clan. They're fun, talented, colorful and generous beyond belief. Breakfast at the Spot had 5 of the 7 siblings at one boisterous table! Fresh spring rolls - so easy to make and almost anything works as filler. My first batch was carrots, mango, mint, cabbage, bean sprouts, scallions, baby shrimp. Art Hop - one of Burlington's best events. Coming up this Fri-Sat. Keith Jarrett Koln Concert - A perfect hour of jazz piano, recorded live in 1975.
