No chow mein for you!

Chef Trevor was on dinner duty last night, attempting a chow mein recipe from the noodle bag. Despite all his hard work and proper tools, it was a desperate situation. It was really horrible, and I will fess up and say that it wasn't Trevor's fault...it really was a BAD recipe. The only seasoning came from soy sauce, and when you have 2 tablespoons of soy sauce versus a motherload of noodles, well, it's going to be BLAND. Despite several times to revive it (with fish sauce, oyster sauce, more soy sauce...) we pronounced the chow mein D.O.A at 7pm and scrounged for something else for dinner (toasted bagel for me, Kraft Dinner for the chef).

I think this dinner offense officially starts barbecue season for us. And while thinking of that summertime feeling, I cruised through a few things at Banana Republic and found a few items that would be particularly chic for a outdoor barbecue gathering:Silk halter dress.Bold print wedges.Silver bamboo bracelet.

Junk Food T's

These are from a new line called 'Junk Food' (for kids) at the Gap.

Gotta get me a pair of these

They would be great for doing squats...

Superstore finds

I got to browse through the Joe line at Superstore on Saturday night and saw all the new pieces in for spring. Lots of bright colours of yellows, reds, pinks, and...the GREEN I love. I did restrain myself from buying the green goodies though (I'm starting to be known for wearing something green wherever I go now, I think that's a sign to tone it down). Here's some of the nice things I saw in the women's area:
And here are some of the things I saw in the kids area:I can't believe how cheap these are. Most of the kids items are between $8-$14.

Banana Republic's new spring line!

I swear the designers were channelling me when they were getting ideas for their spring line. (For those of you who don't know, I love green...especially this tone!)

Shoes anyone?

I wore these to a meeting yesterday and walked 5 blocks in pain. Nice.
They're size 8.5, worn once (maybe twice, can't remember) -- just in case anyone wants dibs on them before I chuck them in the bag for the clothing donation place.

Shoes that do this are evil.
