While I love <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bunners.ca\/shop\/\">Bunner&#8217;s<\/a>, I&#8217;m very excited to see that <a href=\"http:\/\/torisbakeshop.ca\/\">Tori&#8217;s Bakeshop<\/a> will be opening on the other side of town in the Beaches. So I&#8217;m going to mosey over there sometime tomorrow (opening day), try some treats, take some pictures, and maybe share with JC (and maybe not.)<\/p>\n<p>Here is a collection of photos on flickr from <a href=\"http:\/\/knotpr.com\/en\/\">Knot PR<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/knotpr\/\">http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/knotpr\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>My attempts at bringing a lunch to work have been mostly successful. I still ended up going out twice, but both times it was something reasonably healthy. I&#8217;m lucky that Rawlicious (20 Cumberland Ave, Toronto, ON) and Mela Cafe (7 Yorkville Ave, Toronto, ON) are so close to me &#8211; but really, being in Yorkville, I&#8217;m generally in a good area for food.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"DSCF0942 by MeShellG, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prairiev\/6819770838\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7061\/6819770838_18b360b60b.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF0942\" width=\"500\" height=\"377\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>On Monday I tried something off of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rawlicious.ca\/Rawlicious\/Home.html\">Rawlicious<\/a>&#8216; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rawlicious.ca\/Rawlicious\/Yorkville.html\">Spring Menu<\/a> (and it was almost feeling springy) &#8211; the Pesto wrap was wicked. But oddly enough&#8230; the salad was what I really had a hankering for. Oh under appreciated lettuce &#8211; get in my belly.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Mela Cafe - Panini by MeShellG, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prairiev\/6964514237\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7063\/6964514237_b76fd01d62.jpg\" alt=\"Mela Cafe - Panini\" width=\"500\" height=\"336\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I had a breaded eggplant, basil, tomato panini from Mela Cafe.

(as well as the one for JC&#8217;s sister) &#8211; I am so excited about playing around with this kit, but honestly, I cannot wait to see what Becca comes up with.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"photo.JPG by MeShellG, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prairiev\/6818659232\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7067\/6818659232_585bed5642.jpg\" alt=\"photo.JPG\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So hopefully I can start making new and awesome creations with food very soon.<\/p>\n<p>This week on non rainy days I&#8217;ve been wearing my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vibramfivefingers.com\/index.htm\">Vibram 5 Fingers<\/a>. I love these shoes because they make me feel connected with the ground I&#8217;m walking on, but they&#8217;re also really really comfortable. The major improvement for me is that I picked up a pair of <a title=\"the Injinji Website.\" href=\"http:\/\/injinji.com\/\">Injinji<\/a> toe socks &#8211; they keep my feet dry and warm, which is perfect for the fall\/spring weather we&#8217;ve been having lately.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"I wore these to work. by MeShellG, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prairiev\/6818736228\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7191\/6818736228_c5495c5e99.jpg\" alt=\"I wore these to work.\" width=\"500\" height=\"336\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Things I Love Thursday Short List: Gluten free vegan bakery options in Toronto are expanding &#8211; new one opening Healthy eating has increased, home cooking has increased Received my Molecule-R Gastronomy kit in the mail today Rekindled love of penpals and hand written letter writing Vibrams at the office<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[316,315],"tags":[424,425,423,1422,426],"class_list":["post-415","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-things-i-love-thursday","category-tilt","tag-healthy-eating","tag-molecule-r","tag-optimism","tag-things-i-love-thursday","tag-yorkville"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/415","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=415"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/415\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=415"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=415"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
