A delectably brilliant Earth Hour idea.

Earth Hour is but a day away! What to do?

Well while I will actually be out of town visiting family and friends, (rest assured we will be sitting in the dark enjoying each other's company on Saturday, March 27th at 8:30pm doing something)... What I'd like be doing is as It All Starts With Butter suggests: Earth Hour Fondue Dinner by Candlelight.

According to the fabulous foodie advice of It All Starts With Butter, fondue is broken into 3 courses: cheese, traditional and chocolate.

Fondue by maki.

For cheese, I love his suggestion of rubbing the pot with a clove of garlic before melting the cheese for a little added flavour. I told you it was delectably brilliant! Not to mention easy and affordable, according to It All Starts With Butter, if I'd prefer not to grate the cheese myself, I can pick up packaged fondue cheese for about $8 for a pack that serves 4!

Bon app, mes amis !

In case you haven't noticed I am particularly fond of food. I adore seeing food in vibrant photographs, reading reviews, watching films featuring it, envying it, cooking it, I could go on and on... But most of all, I of course desire nothing more than to taste flavourful food!

Therefore this little cuppa foodie tee is thrilled she has so many friends who love love LOVE food as much as she does. In fact, turns out another one of her friends has just started a new blog titled Lean&Luxe.

Lean&Luxe is a journey as a foodie to lose weight without sacrificing flavor. Daily posts will be Good-for-You-Gourmet menus with recipes as well as keep you up-to-date on nutritional information and tips & tricks.

YAY, delicious and guilt-free cuisine, such as the "Grill Glazed Pork, Baked Sweet Potato and Asparagus" pictured above.

Was so happy to see It All Starts With Butter among Lean&Luxe's blogroll, since I personally can't go without butter! Not after my year in France 0;)

Now to go dream of food... Bon App !

(Belated) Happy Pi Day!

My dear sweet pea sister, who herself is awaiting college admission results, told me yesterday that MIT has a tradition of making admissions results available on 3. 1 4 1 5 9...

Recognize the number? It's π (Pi), as in MIT reveals who's in on March 14th at 1:59pm, also known as Pi Day. By the way, it turns out Albert Einsten's birthday also falls on March 14th. Go figure! Leave it to the world re-known institute of technology to be that geeky!

Remember π? A mathematical constant whose value is the ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter in Euclidean space?

I must admit, I don't recall the last time I used π... I do however recall the last time I ate pie! It was moving day, when I thanked my friends for helping me move (yet again) with pizza, beer and blueberry praline pie from none other than my fav Madeleine's Cherry Pie and Ice Cream... Mmm, yum!

And so in honour of π and the yummy variety... An awesome one minute apple pie video, also courtesy of my sweet pea sis.

Warning, it will make you want to bake pie:
