I have a pantry full of ingredients and at least 2 ideas I want to try out that contain chocolate chips, ruffles potato chips, and cookie dough - my co-workers get to be guinea pigs on Tuesday!
Toronto is gonna be a hopping place this weekend, what with both Pride and Canada day celebrations. It is, as I said on our work intranet page, time to celebrate both our heritage and our pride!
And speaking of Pride - can I just say - I love Nabisco this week. For not only making this _fabulous_ poster, but for sticking to their guns, doing what is right and supporting something that should be supported.
Those that know me well know I'm a HUGE geek and my obsession de jour is the Avengers - FANTASTIC movie with a stellar cast - but I digress. There is a point to this ramble.
The point is that Chris Evans, whose brother is gay and who plays Captain Freaking America said it best:
"Are you kidding me? It's insane that civil rights are being denied people in this day and age. It's embarrassing, and it's heartbreaking. It goes without saying that I'm completely in support of gay marriage. In 10 years we'll be ashamed that this was an issue."What a guy.....
And can I just say thank you to my parents for choosing to immigrate to Canada. I am damned PROUD to live in a country that has the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and that recognizes that people should be able to love who they want to regardless of sex. I'm also proud to be able to say that straight doesn't always mean narrow because I'm anything but! (all waistline jokes aside - yes I am a baker which means I have to sample my wares, no?)
Getting off my soap box now so I can get on my baking box .... visions of cookies are dancing in my head.
