August '21 Cooking Take-Ons

It's been a little over two months since I've written here. Since my last post in June, I signed a new lease; I'm moving into a new apartment in October. (๏∀๏)✨ Because of this, I've been spending a lot of my time shopping (mostly online) for furniture and decorations. I had never been interested in interior design before, but I'd consider myself a true amateur now.

Also, I'm currently on a two-week summer holiday break. I return to work right after Labour day. However, I'm in quarantine since last week because I was in contact with a family member that tested positive for the virus (the person feels wells and doesn't show symptoms as of now). I have had my two vaccine jabs (Pfizer x2), but the second dose needs 14 days to become fully efficient – that's what the nurse told me – and I had had my 2nd dose only 7 days ago when I visited the person. Therefore, I was at risk of having been infected with Covid.

I had a first Covid test a couple of days ago (which turned out negative) and I'm getting another one next week, 48 hours before I can return back to my normal activities (I need another negative result for my quarantine to end).

I don't want to dwell on this too much, though it's the most recent event that happened and it was stressful for everyone. Thank goodness I feel much more at peace now. To be honest, this quarantine was kind of a blessing in disguise; since I can't go anywhere, I have more time to concentrate on schoolwork – for which I'm still lagging, unfortunately, but eh, I guess it'd be even worse if I've had had the opportunity to go out.

This being said, let's talk about some food I cooked during August!

August 14th 2021 | Tomato Fried Rice

I "came up" with this dish a couple of years ago when I attempted to make this Chinese dish. It didn't end up like the one by Strictly Dumpling, but it still tasted good and I liked its simplicity. Thus I started making this "dumbed-down" version often during my last year of undergraduate and the years after (until I discovered slow-cooking, in the summer of 2018).

I hadn't made this dish for a long time until recently when few foods left in the fridge gave me the idea to make it again. The base ingredients are tomatoes, rice, eggs and some chicken broth. I eyeball everything. Sometimes I scramble the eggs.

I had an onion this time, so I also threw it in!

I couldn't find an old picture of the exact dish but I came across the following one that is similar (taken on March 20th 2016). Here, I used cherry/grape tomatoes that I crushed in the pan with the spatula. The liquid from the tomatoes prevents the dish from getting too dry, though I generally add chicken broth. I believe I also added pesto and omitted the eggs.

August 25th 2021 | Taco Fried Rice

Another "old-school" dish I used to make when I was a full-time student. I even recorded on my blog the first time I made it lol.

It's mainly composed of ground meat (pork or beef), veggies such as green bell pepper, onions and garlic, spiced with Old El Paso taco seasoning.

In the picture below, I added two yellow zucchini. I didn't particularly like the sweetness they gave, but I had to use them somehow and they made the dish healthier I guess? Something I love about these kinds of dishes is their flexibility – you can dump in various vegetables (usually ones that you've gotta get rid of) and it'll still taste relatively good, or even better.

August 27th 2021 | Slow Cooker Summer Squash Stew

From Le grand livre de la mijoteuse

Sausage, yellow zucchini, onions and tomatoes (usually, there's also green zucchini,

but I didn't have any; also I decided to add rice on my own).

I made this dish two times in the past and overall I had a pleasing cooking & eating experience.

This time, however, my TOTM showed up the morning after I had eaten it for supper. And this time, unfortunately, the side effects were pretty rough (happens about 1/3 of the time). Like I'm hit by heatstroke and stomach flu at once. 😭 Thankfully, they generally don't last all day – a couple of hours max.

Anyhow, I'm aware the dish is most likely innocent in what happened the next day, but since I don't often eat supermarket sausage, I thought it was safer to throw the leftovers... I will probably make this recipe again, but with ground pork instead.

F A I L . . .

August 7th 2021 | Slow Cooker Chicken Marsala

[Recipe]

The picture of the dish reflects accurately the taste of it.

Although I was suspicious of the taste upon removing the lid of the slow cooker, I had the idiocy of tasting the dish after dividing it into portions in the containers, which resulted in a big dishwashing job afterwards that could've been avoided. Serves me right for following another online recipe that doesn't seem to have been "vetted" by the public.

June '21 Cooking Take-Ons

Back in 2018, I had decided to post any subsequent cooking experience on my IG account.

In October 2020, I posted on IG a pic of me holding my vintage handbag from ElekonChicBoutique (to see it, go there and CTRL + F "I was so").

A couple of months later, I started following a vintage store on IG that I had previously bought from. To my surprise, the store liked my handbag picture and followed me back. Shortly after, another vintage account liked the same picture.

These events dissuaded me from posting any more of my cooking experiences on IG. I'm not sad, because I didn't enjoy that much making these posts on IG. From now on, I'll take my cooking notes on the same sheets of paper that have the recipes written on them. (I had started in March 2020 to write on paper the recipes I had liked. It will probably become a slow cooker/simple food cookbook.)

As for this platform, around the end of each month, if I've made any new recipe(s), I'll mention it here. I tend to want to chronicle every little thing that happens during the process, but I'll try to be brief so that these blog posts are only meant to share the food I cooked and their recipe. How I cooked it or how I altered the recipe shall be written my cookbook-to-be.

First month to be featured is June 2021. All three recipes tried during that month come from the same website and were made using the slow cooker.

June 5th 2021 | Alfredo and Buffalo Pasta

[Recipe] (it's in French, but can be easily translated.)

I was impressed by the taste considering the few ingredients needed and the very easy steps.

Only I think there should have been more sauce because some of my portions didn't have enough and it was kinda dry with the rice. Also, I shall use sodium-reduced soya sauce next time (AND dilute it) because I thought it was way too salty.

June 13th 2021 | Alfredo & Cajun Chicken Pasta

[Recipe] (in French)

I thought it was weird to cut the chicken once it had cooked for 2.5 hours, but that's trivial; the dish was delicious. The taste of cajun is totally absent, maybe due to the spices I personally used.

Next time I make this recipe, I'll cut the chicken into smaller pieces and use 2 tbsp of butter instead of 4. It was a bit too greasy for my liking.

June 20th 2021 | Chicken Buffalo Pasta

[Recipe] (in French)

The presentation is bad; the dish looks dry as hell. That's because I put too much pasta (900 g) while the recipe asked for 2 cups. Idk, there's was a lot of liquid in the slow cooker and I thought it could undertake my gigantic amount of pasta. Plus, I wanted to use the whole package of fettuccine.

Fortunately, the taste is good. It is just enough cheesy and Buffalo-y. I'll probably make this recipe again, obviously with less pasta this time.

Sporadic Life Update #3

Heeello

A little over three weeks ago, I handed out my last paper of the winter semester! As for my summer semester, it started last Monday. (I am enrolled in two courses.)

This post is only an update on some important stuff to me or just random things that I was able to photograph.

🎕 I tried a strengthening hair mask from a hair salon (and used it up).

I had gotten tired of trying DIY hair masks that kept deceiving me and thought it was time I invest a bit more in my hair since it's dear to me. I got this reconstructing hair mask by Wella Professionals.

A lady at the hair salon recommended me this mask after I explained I was looking for something that strengthens my hair.

I wasn't too enthusiastic about her suggestion, because I had never heard of the brand (plz don't throw rocks at me if it's well-known), but especially because the lady proudly told me it didn't have sulphates – and I become immensely suspicious when a brand claims to be bio, vegan, silicone/sulphates-free (i.e. a saint).

Alas, my choice was limited to the Wella hair mask or another one by Kerastase that was very costly. As someone who isn't used to buy professional hair products, I thought it'd be wiser to start "smaller" with a 23 $ CAD hair mask, which was Wella's.

Here are my general thoughts on the product.

• Smell: ★★★★★
  The smell is really nice. It doesn't linger for long after my hair has completely dried, but it isn't a reason to rate the mask lower.
  
  
• Quantity: ★★★★★
  I applied the mask religiously every week, from my hair ear-length to the tips. Considering I first used the mask on March 21st, and that the last day was on May 22nd, the mask lasted me two whole months! I thought it would last me a month tops. My hair was down to my upper knees when I used it (so it's pretty long), but I don't have thick hair, so I guess that helped.
  
  
• Results: ★★★★ ½
  This mask gives me all the results I wish for and for a fair price. I give it 4 stars and a half because I feel it's unrealistic to give something 5 stars out of 5?

In a nutshell, I am extremely satisfied with this hair mask. I'll probably buy it again next time I want to treat my hair.

🎕 I started using professional shampoo and conditioner.

After months of thinking about it on and off, I switched from drugstore brands to hair salons' for my shampoo and conditioner. (Though I may switch back in the future, I really have no idea.)

I went with Paul Mitchell by the lady's recommendation at the hair salon. I had told her that my hair was prone to grease and that my scalp had started to itch (again). For info, my scalp usually itches one day after washing my hair, which is the same time that it starts to get greasy (already!).

The shampoo is clear and smells very nice – just like lemon pie. As for the conditioner, it looks like custard but smells like sunscreen. I don't dislike it, but it's the first time I use a hair product that carries such a scent. However, it goes away pretty rapidly once my hair has dried – at least in my case.

I tried to show the consistency and colour of the conditioner (╥▽╥)

I can't say I'm in love with the conditioner. It makes my hair, from the ears to the tips feel a bit waxy and thicker. Though I prefer this over greasy hair, the wax-like texture makes my hair subject to tangles.

Since using Paul Mitchell, my scalp itches less and my hair sheds less. It's a difference big enough so that I noticed it. However, I've been using the products since April, and because my hair sheds less during the summer, my observation could be due to the season's change instead of switching to Paul Mitchell.

🎕 I had my hair trimmed.

My last trim was in September 2020.

Every time after a trim, I vow the next one will be once my hair is under knee-length. Well, once again, I broke my promise. Last weekend, I impulse-asked my mom to trim a good chunk of my hair. I don't know how much exactly (see picture below), but my longest tips went from touching my upper knees to going back to a solid mid-thigh length.

..

Both pics above are before the trim; only difference is that the one on the right is brighter to see better (and I don't know what's up with the vertical white streak in the middle of my hair!).

What my mom has cut!

..

After the trim. Disliked the first pic on the left, so I took one myself.(We had already taken so many pictures and had to put an end to the photoshoot.)

I miss my longer hair, but the trim was a necessary evil. And I must admit, it's nice to have thicker ends.

🎕 I bought hair accessories.

I found these cute hair ties at Simons.

A white lace hair bow and a simple knot made out of burgundy satin

I saw a video on IG with a girl wearing an accessory similar to the one on the right, and the ribbons hanging on both sides of her bun made the hairstyle look so pretty. I'm not sure if I can make the same with mine since the hair tie is pretty tight, but maybe once it becomes looser with use.

Edit Sept. 19th 2021: Here are pictures of me wearing the white scrunchie. It's my favourite and goes well with everything. ♡

..

I also bought my first hair fork! It is from 60th Street on Etsy.

Front of the fork

Back of the fork

Here is the fork's listing for anyone interested. You can also read the review I posted – it should be just under the listing's picture. I'm really satisfied with the fork. It's very solid and holds my hair in place all day long.

The only problem – and that's not the seller's fault – is that I can't make a nice-looking bun with the fork. Every time I try to, I always find an issue with it (too tight/loose) which prompts me to remove the hair fork. And yes, I did watch YouTube videos on how to make a bun with a hair fork. I'm a lost cause.

The bun pictured below is the best I could do with my non-existent talent in hairstyling.

This is the same pic I posted in my Etsy review (despite countless tries,

I only have pics of the one nice bun I managed to do lmao).

I think I just rolled my hair on itself, then rolled it into a bun and pricked the fork into it. Unfortunately, the hair fork was getting hidden by my hair which was slowly getting loser. I had to remove the fork pretty rapidly because the bun would have eventually collapsed. A shame since it didn't look too bad.

Another shot of the bun; you can see my hair creeping over the fork even more.

I was left with a dilemma: either I do pretty buns that don't last long, either I do ugly buns that stay on. I chose the latter, so I've been constrained to wear the fork when my hair has become greasy or when I do cleaning (so only when I'm at home). It's not absolutely bad cuz I get to wear it at least, but its primary use wasn't intended for that. TT

🎕 I bought the reMarkable 2.

A bit of context: During work, I often have to take notes rapidly, so they end up being quite disordered. On top of that, I get confused easily, so if I don't do anything and reread them the next week, I will have forgotten a lot of info and won't be able to recall it correctly. In the end, it affects my efficiency and quality of work.

Like most people, I rewrite my notes when I want them to look neater. However, rewriting my notes is definitely not part of my responsibilities at work, nor do I want to rewrite my notes from work in my free time.

While I was writing in my work notebook's last pages, I thought how the next notetaking tool I'd buy would help me organize my notes better. I ended up buying a Filofax notebook. I thought being able to move the pages was the solution to improve my content organization.

Unfortunately, I had to rewrite my notes after each meeting... and because the Filofax looked prettier than my former notebook, I was wasting even more time rewriting even more stuff to make everything look nice. Plus, when I wrote something spontaneously (e.g. an idea popped up), I would think a lot before writing to make sure to cover every info and in the right order.

During this short period of time, I wasted time rewriting stuff that didn't need to be rewritten in the first place, and wrote down stuff as if I was composing a final copy every time. I was the opposite of efficient with a Filofax, so I had to give it up. Nevertheless, this experience taught me that organized and usable notes didn't need to be necessarily aesthetic.

A couple of days later, I started looking for a tablet specifically made for writing. I had gotten the idea from my Explore page on IG – which often shows me pics of beautiful handwritten study notes on iPads. However, I didn't want a tablet with an array of options (I wouldn't use most of them), especially as they tend to take up a lot of battery life.

A few hours later, I had ordered the reMarkable 2 on the official website (t'was pretty much an impulse buying). I received it within a week or so.

I did hesitate before getting this tablet, notably because of the price, but also because of the limited colour options for the ink (only black, white and grey).

However, I came to the realization that I don't even need colours – I favour blue or black ink 99 % of the time when writing, depending on the pen I have on hand. Moreover, having the possibility of adding colours to my text would DEFINITELY be counter-productive, as I'd waste time on the aesthetic of my notes.

I really like the carton x paper packaging.

I think the tablet is wrapped in vellum paper?

For the case, I chose the book folio in polymer weave.

On the right side of the tablet, you can see the pen (it is magnetic!).

I went with the marker plus as it has an eraser, unlike the normal marker.

You can flip the front of the case completely under the tablet.

Again, very practical and makes it easier to carry around.

I've been using this tablet for about one month and I am LOVING it. It suits all of my needs perfectly. I like how the device is meant to be simple – just like pen and paper – but with functionalities that make it worth more than pen and paper. As an example, here's a situation where technology comes in handy.

A normal page of written text. (Btw, I believe this page layout

is "Margin small", but you can choose among lots of others.)

Suppose that I just thought about writing the paragraph at the bottom,

but it's meant to be under the bullet "Diapos 23-24 : SHITSUKE".

By using the Selection tool, I am able to move

my paragraph easily right under the bullet in question.

I typically use the Selection tool to copy a cluster of text and move it (either on the same page, on another page or in another document). My example may seem silly, but it is exactly the kind of functionalities I need in order to organize my ideas simply and efficiently.

At the moment, I'm only writing stuff on my tablet, but I'm thinking of importing lots of PDF readings. I would have way fewer books to carry with me when visiting my parents or going to work.

In my opinion, the tablet's major weakness is that you can't use it in the dark since the screen doesn't have a light. I read this was intentional in an effort to make the tablet feel like paper and pen as much as possible. Understandable, but considering the high price of the product, it goes without saying that the screen should come with a light imo.

Speaking of the price, I'm bringing it up so that if I ever come back reading this, I'll have a vestige of one crazy expensive purchase I made on a whim. So the tablet cost 599 $, the pen (marker plus) 149 $, and the case (book folio in polymer weave) 149 $. Which amounts to a total of 897 $ CAD. 🤠

Was it worth it? For me, yes.

🎕 I bought a new handbag: David Jones Paris.

Having been in a state of denial, I recently came to admit that I would not be able to go to work with my retro nor my vintage handbag (respectively, the black one from YesStyle & the beige one with gold scallop). 

Moreover, after purchasing my reMarkable 2, it was obvious I'd need a bigger bag to hold my stuff when shuttling back and forth between work and home.

My mom was the one who spotted this handbag at Marshalls. It wasn't love at first sight for me, but upon carrying it and seeing how well it blended with my style and wardrobe, I came to love it.

The handles can rest on the bag instead of sticking up stubbornly. 😌

I like how clean and subtle the brand looks on the bag.

The handbag has three compartments: two relatively easy to access/unzip, and a more discreet one in the middle. There's also has a zipped pocket at the back. So many compartments, me loves.

Personally, I much prefer zippers over other types of closures (e.g. magnetic ones) since they're more secure. In fact, my Liz Lisa bag gave me bits of anxiety whenever I thought that my metro pass or my keys had slipped out of my bag, only to find them seconds later.

My reMarkable 2 also fits perfectly in there~

The handbag came with a bag for storage, which was a nice surprise.

🎕 Miscellaneous (I couldn't categorize these things.)

Saigon chicken soup from our favourite Vietnamese restaurant. Mmm.

Weeks ago, I bought a ravishing and high-quality full slip to wear under my see-through dresses...

... and the day after, I tried it on with a dress and the dress' zipper caught a part of the slip's mesh. It had to be ripped off, FML.

🎕 After more than a year of staying at my parent's house, I'm now back at my apartment in Montreal.

I'll work at the office on some days (hybrid schedule), so I will probably restart posting on my OOTDs page.

Lovely (cork?) board that my parents put up

Among the new improvements in my apartment (thank you 👫), my parents installed a portable aircon so that I'm not repetitively hit by heat strokes this summer. It's been working since I've returned to Montreal, and my quality of life has improved so much... much more energy to cook and clean during the day (and basically just move) and better sleeping.

Last Sunday, I cooked General Tso's Chicken in my slow-cooker.

I shall talk about this dish more in detail in another blog post.

Oh, and finally, I got my first Covid shot last Saturday.

:D

Sporadic Life Update #2

Meh. I haven't been writing on here for nearly two months; not by choice. I don't like leaving my blog forgotten and falling behind with my hauls, but my work involves lots of writing and so does schoolwork, so I end up feeling too lazy to put effort into writing here.

I had planned for my next blog post to be a stationery haul from AliExpress, but I haven't received all of the stuff yet and I reckon it'll be one big haul to set up. So this blog post will only be a brief, sporadic update on my life these past two months. It is to be expected that I'll jump from one topic to another without a clear structure.

My black handbag got altered!

In a previous blog post, I talked about purchasing this vintage-inspired handbag from YesStyle, after an excruciating search on the internet. I mentioned that a part of the handle needed to be cut so that I could hold the handbag on my wrist or in my hand, just like women used to.

Here's the handbag with its new handle:

The altered handle is on the left. I love how it turned out.

(You can also see a dent on this side of the bag. --" I received it like this.)

My father first cut a section of the handle that would definitely not be part of it once shortened. Then I looked at vintage handbags on Etsy to get an idea of the typical handle length on a vintage handbag. After trying different handle lengths (temporarily fixed with hockey tape) and pairing each with diverse types of clothing (coats, dresses, skirts...), I decided to go with a handle of 13 ½ inches.

A professional sewing machine was needed to do the rest of the work, so my father went to the shoe repair shop and they kindly handled my bag immediately (pun unintended).

Also, my mom surprised me with this lovely beige coin purse she found in Magog.

I couldn't get a better picture despite clear lighting that day, sorry.

I love how the beige and gold clasp look together.

The material isn't real leather but it still looks high-quality imo.

The pouch can be opened on both sides and one has a zipper.

A compartment within a compartment!

The other compartment

As you can see, there's a lot of storage in this coin purse. All of my cards easily fit in.

The only downside is that it is bigger than my previous one from Walmart. This doesn't make a major difference in my beige handbag, but it does in my black one: my hand sanitizer doesn't fit in anymore. It's not a huge issue as I can always replace it with a smaller hand sanitizer, and thanks to Covid there are hand sanitizer stations in most public places now...

My hair is growing, shedding, fairytailing...

Last summer, I was hoping my hair would reach knee-length by December 2020, but it didn't happen. Pretty sure it's cuz I got a good trim back in September (I couldn't anymore with the fairytale ends), and I guess that I had overestimated the time it'd take to grow to my knees.

I haven't taken pictures of my hair since forever. Oddly, around last fall, it started to get greasy faster than usual. I tried reducing the amount of Moroccanoil I use and applied it first on the ends of my hair, then onto my roots. There wasn't an improvement. So, I haven't really been in the mood to take pictures of my hair. While I'm thinking about it, the brush may be the reason why my hair gets easily greasy since I always use the same one – whether my hair is clean or dirty – though I always operated like this without bad outcomes in the past.

Here's a random pic of my hair I took last November:

It touches the ground when I crouch. Of course, since that picture was taken, my hair has grown longer... My plan is to grow it slightly below the knees so I can trim the extra and still have knee-length hair. When that moment will come, I also plan on trimming the ends more regularly since my main goal will have shifted from growing my hair to growing healthy blunt ends. I'm excited. o(^∀^*)o

Oh, and my hair is shedding; been like this since December. I didn't experience shedding during the fall season like I usually do, so I thought that I was saved for the year, but the shedding just came later. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ My hair sheds the most when I'm in the shower or when I brush it after it has dried, but also while I'm simply sitting at the computer. I don't see a MAJOR difference in my hair thickness if I check my whole head, so I try not to get too stressed about it.

Take a look at this cool homemade lint roller:

I got the idea last summer. (I eventually saw that these kinds of lint rollers already existed on the internet.) 

I learned through my mom to use regular lint rollers to collect little fabric scraps on the floor. We came to realize it could also be used to pick up hair on the floor. Then later, I thought it'd be amazing if I could use the lint roller with a longer handle to avoid crouching.

My parents found my idea eccentric at first, but they nonetheless found a painting handle for me and managed to fit a lint roller on its extremity. Turns out this lint roller is SO PRACTICAL. I save so much time and frustration now, especially when I want to pick up individual strands of hair scattered everywhere around. Also, it's very gratifying to roll over my hair and see the adhesive roller grab everything. o(≧▽≦)o My mom even ended up making one for her because she finds it catches hair on the carpet way better than the vacuum.

I do have to change the sheet on the lint roller regularly. I do it a couple of times a week, it really depends on how I wear my hair during the day (obviously there is more hair on the floor when I wear it loose.) I haven't counted how many days a sheet lasts on average, but I went through a whole lint roller from summer through February, so it's not the thing that will empty your pockets the most.

I bought something from Petland's website.

(;￣ω￣)

A number of Amazon customers stated in their review that they had received the exact same item cracked. Worried that my order would suffer the same fate, I looked for sellers in Canada (the nearer the better since I wanted the item to travel the less).

Luckily I managed to found one in the size I wanted on Petland's Canadian website. I was still a bit fearful and hoped that Petland would be careful when packing my order. Fortunately, they did much more than I expected and the item arrived at my home without a scratch.

It's a pen! For small animals!

Indeed, I've been planning something for some months now. This pen is to house one – or more – animal(s). I'll probably talk about it once the time comes. Note that this will only serve as a temporary place, not a permanent home.

I bought the pen in size large (8.75 L or 2.25 U.S. gal. according to Petland). The dimensions are 25.5 x 36 x 22 cm based on this Pets at Home listing. I was worried that it'd be too small, but it's bigger than I thought which is perfect.

I had first planned to buy a carrier at my local pet shop, but there were only the ones from Living World with the flimsy lid. The thing was so hard to open and close that I didn't buy it, I could sense I'd break it on my first use. After unsuccessfully looking for other models online, I found this one. The lid is so easy to open and close. I admit it would've been nice if it was equipped with handles, but its principal use won't be for transport anyway.

I believe this blue pen has been around for a long time (pretty sure I had a similar one for my beta fish years ago) and it seems uncommon to find today, at least in my local pet stores. Or maybe I was just unlucky.

Petland even included a handwritten letter and a 10 % coupon with my order.

I don't think I've ever received handwritten letters, let alone letters, from ordering from a chain store. Even as a first-time customer. (*˘v˘*)

Cute Thrift Find

Last weekend I went to Value Village where I found the cutest ceramic dish:

It even has its matching brush!!!!

The brush was still in its original wrapping so I doubt that the set had been used before. I thought it was a sauce dish at first, but my mom told me it is used when eating corn for the melted butter. How adorable is this?! *melting* It was only 1,99$ CAD and in perfect condition.

I plan on using it when brushing egg wash (or other) on desserts and dough foods like pretzels before baking. By the way, the brush wasn't on its holder when at the store, it was simply in the dish. It's my mom who later showed it to me. So practical.

I think I found one of its siblings on Etsy, but sadly it's sold out.

Mmm... Food

I ate more delicious food but I only had these pictures stored on my phone.

It was my second time eating scallops and it confirmed my dislike for them.

The mushroom risotto was excellent though, just a bit too salty.

Cadbury Mini Eggs donut from Tim Hortons. My first time eating it. Delicious.

Unsure why the mini eggs show brown spots; still ate them.
