^ Well dam, no hope for flan and your taste buds approval then :D

 

What is your all time fav dessert then?

Surprised by todays heat! Still VERY warm and humid outside and there is absolutely NO breeze or wind at all..."feels like earthquake weather" as the paranoid would say.

Sometimes I wonder why I stay in Canada:

To ensure every child 'wins', Ontario athletic association removes ball from soccer:

With the growing concern over the effects of competition in youth sports programs this summer, many Canadian soccer associations eliminated the concept of keeping score. The Soccer Association of Midlake, Ontario, however, has taken this idea one step further, and have completely removed the ball from all youth soccer games and practices. 

According to Association spokesperson, Helen Dabney-Coyle, "By removing the ball, it's absolutely impossible to say 'this team won' and 'this team lost' or 'this child is better at soccer than that child.'"

"We want our children to grow up learning that sport is not about competition, rather it's about using your imagination. If you imagine you're good at soccer, then, you are."

This summer Peter Oldring spent time with the Midlake Thundercats, an under 11 boys and girls team, and put together this radio documentary. 

 

 

First non contact hockey and now no ball Soccer. Welcome to Canada, I don't want to leave but if this shit is how my kids will grow up I'll go somewhere else.

Finally saw Katy Perry's "Roar" and she looks a lot like Emily Blunt in that video.
