Hannah

Hi!

Today on my blog we are starting a new segment! I have decided to call it Hannah's Om Nom Noms. As anyone who has met me knows I am really into food. I love cooking, baking and eating (duh!) so I thought it was time for me to share my successes and failures. Actually I might not share the failures. I will just pretend I do everything perfectly.

Granola 

All mixed up, ready to go in the oven

*When I made this I found that the dried fruit became a bit too crunchy so next time I am making this (tomorrow actually) I will put the fruit in half an hour after the rest of the ingredients.

Eat it with yogurt or milk and fresh fruit, like apples or bananas. Or just as it is.

Hi everyone!

Wow, it's been a crazy week hasn't it. For everyone wondering how my finals went I think that they went pretty well. That's a lie. If I were famous and a paparazzi asked me about my finals I would say "No comment". But either way, I've done then and no matter how it goes there's not much I can do about it at this point.

Nobody wants to hear about me studying so instead I'll tell you about what I did today. First I went crazy and cleaned for a few hours (Parents, bet you never thought that would happen!). After that I decided to go on a crazy adventure. By crazy adventure I mean take a walk.

So I walked to Granville Island. It's really not that far from my house, around 5 km, at least the route that I took. It was a gorgeous day, sunny and warmish. When I got there I went to the public market and bought food. At the place where I bought nuts and lentils the owner told me that I was a very smart young lady. That most people my age didn't eat healthy, but everything that I bought was very good indeed.

When I got home I made these really yummy granola bars (I changed the recipe slightly) and it was delicious. I actually want to eat it the whole pan but I have self control so I won't.

Other than that I discovered the best thing on the internet right now.

Hey guys!

I was thinking about telling you all about what I'd been up to since I last updated my blog, but in all honesty I can't really remember. With assignments, quizzes, midterms and readings, every single week reminds me of the week before that and before that.

I did however have reading break a couple of weeks ago, and I certainly did some exciting things then (lies) and I also happened to take pictures (truth)! I should make it clear right away - things in my life I count as exciting are probably related to food.

Me and my Swedish homeboy Axel had some serious cravings for semlor so we decided to make some.

Om nom nom nom nom

This stuff is the real deal. Homemade bun and homemade madelmassa. Freaking legit. You know you're jealous. Actually... if you haven't had one (and if you're Canadian, you probably haven't) you wouldn't know what to be jealous of. I guess that you just have to take my word. You are definitely jealous.


There's even more reason to be jealous. Just as Axel was leaving, Tung came walking down my walkway. Even though it might seem as the reason to be jealous is the fact that I have such fabulous and wonderful, that not the reason. This is the reason...

So delicious. I also took this picture today. Not the day I actually baked them.

Hello!

What might have happened in the exciting life of Hannah you may ask? Well, not much. Most of the week I spent studying like the good student I am. But Friday afternoon, after we had taken our first Psychology midterm of the semester I decided to take a break.


So me and Kiki decided to go on an adventure, just as we always do when we hang out. Off we went, into the unknown wilderness. Emphasis on unknown because it was not exactly what would be considered wilderness. However, we did find a quaint little cluster of houses known as Fairview Residence, explored the posh Hampton Place (complete with a stroll through private property looking for Grandma Anita, she does make the most wonderful cookies) and finally ending up in Westbrook Village.

I had never visited Westbrook Village before Friday and I found it quite delightful (I'm writing in such a strange manner today). Me and Kiki inspected the whole "village" and when we saw something called Sail we were intrigued. So we went inside, and turned out it was a presentation something or another. Either way, we ended up looking at how future apartments will look like. We kinda wanted to get one.

My Friday night incredibly exciting since I started baking my sour dough. Making sour dough bread is a very long process. First you make the pre-dough. And then you let it rest for 12 - 20 hours.

Bread yummy yummy. No not done yet!
