The Black Keys- Too Afraid To Love You. (Live in the Studio)

i am sharing one of my favourite with you !! The Black Keys. from The Big Come Up to Brothers. those guys have won my soul over. and over. and over.and over. the only hope i have is to catch them LIVE. i think that would complete my life. i kid you not.

i’m not the type to search for videos online. but i got curious and found that one. it’s off their latest album Brothers. please if you don’t own this album, i’m telling you right now. you are missing something OUT. this album brought me back to LIFE. every single track on this album is as powerful as [ insert your own, i can't think of one] . but you get the point. aha, i suck at explaining things. you are better off observing me while I’m listening to them. then waiting on a legit review.

i hope you catch the blues’ because i did <3

Pizza is where the heart is…

this weekend I’ve had the chance to hit up the city and done a little shopping and living life !

so much fun, i think i fall in love with Canada more and darn more. i mean how can you not?

everyone knows the best place to be is on top ; ) and as far as I AM concerned, Canada is on TOP of America.

of course, there is nothing better than a drizzling snowy day [St-Catherine St].

” Seize every day as an adventure and your spirit will soar when you discover the wonderful surprises life has to offer.”

With Montreal being only 20 minutes from me, i decided to make it a habit to go every weekends. every day i learn about new places, routes and interesting shops. and i take it upon myself to grab my magic bus pass and and go on to treasure island!

Truthfully, one of the many things i love about Quebec is the transportation, here in Canada having a car is more of a luxury, i kid you not. everyone is either, walking. on the bus & subway and/or on a bike. even during the winter ! it’s pretty inspiring to me. i can’t wait until Spring comes around, so i can go and get on my bicycle again, i sold my Bianchi before i left the states..don’t ask me why.. for i have no idea. sighs…

Anyways, back on the initiated topic, PIZZA ! we all love it, from carnivores to vegans, a pizza knows how to always hit the spot. it’s like it has a mind of it’s own !!! anyways this past weekend i went to Les 3 Brasseurs and i ordered the Vegetarian Pizza, that i VEGANize right away. the contents of this beauty consisted of Eggplant, Portobella mushrooms, Tomatoes, Green & Black Olives, Zucchinis, Asparagus [that i did not touch, i fear them] Roasted Peppers with a drizzle of Spicy Olive Oil. the dough is actually homemade and very thin. no dairy-eggs. sugar were used i asked !  it is cooked in a brick oven until golden to perfection. it was very good ! a little dry i would like to say but overall i enjoyed it.

And of course tonight i decided to make my own damn pizza, and i hate to say but  i think i nutted my mouth 2 or 3x while in the process GASP

I used a Wheat-Thin Crust from my favourite organic market TAU, and smothered Mushroom & Garlic tomato sauce instead of the typical “Pasta Sauce” then i put my first layer of veggiessss!

i started with Zucchinis, then the Baby White Shrooms, Tomatoes, and my Oh-So-Famous Crack Black Olives. i sprinkled some magic dust [ vegetable seasoning, and crushed herbs ] baked it for 30 mins and VOILA . it was good, of course it would have been way better with some Daiya Cheese on it, but i didn’t have any. [insert sad face].

anyways, i’m going to get some soon and have a take 2 and show the worlddddddddddd. i watched Superman while grubbing, almost fell asleep..as a fellow #nerd it was a little disappointing but hey! i couldn’t have done a better job aha.. only if stick figures were involved.

well, dear person who is reading this post. this is nearly the end of it. i am listening to The Black Keys as i am writing this post, and i’d like to say it is my cue… this is where my #nightytime begins hehe.

more to come, until then <3
