friends,

There's not many people I can say I've known for 12 years and still maintain a close friendship with, despite all the changes in our lives.
So how do we celebrate 12 years of shenanigans!!? Eating of course; Pastries for breakfast? Yes please!
We started off with drinks. Coffee for those two and blood orange soda for me, before quickly diving into a conversation as if no time had passed.
Our pastries arrived just as we slipped into a conversation about the exciting adventures we were planning on going this year, while reminiscing about our highschool memories and how much things have changed.
Of course, in true invisibles spirit, it took us longer to capture the perfect picture of our pastries (and ourselves!) than it took to devour them up.
Can you guess who ordered what?!
We ended up splitting the pastries three ways, just so everyone could get a taste of each one. Washed it down with the remains of our drinks as we realized we didn't have much time left together.. so we quickly made a list of things we wanted to do the next time we are reunited again.
Of course, selfies clearly don't end in the restaurant. We quickly slipped a few more in before it was time for us to head over to the next destination.
I'm thankful for these girls. For their honesty and openness, their friendship, the smiles and the good times.
Till our next adventure,
naomi.

I know, I'm bad at blogging.
This month is crazy hectic for me so I won't be posting here as often, but I thought I would start this break off with a little cronut post. Because you know, you can never have too many cronuts.
Let the hiatus begin.
See you in a bit :)

These last two weeks in Winnipeg have been absolutely brutal. Snow, blowing snow, and the weather outside is a consistent -30 degrees. That's MINUS. I came home from classes one day last week and just sat in my room for the longest time sulking about the cold. Even the news report said that "Bitterly cold weather is expected to start the work week with temperatures well below normal"
I only saw two words in that sentence, bitterly cold. Why not sweet cold.
So, I got on my computer and swiftly booked plane tickets, a car and made reservations at my favorite restaurants. Done and Done.
My friend told me the other day "Why do you always blog about food!", so I thought do something different today since I'm in the middle of packing and give you guys a sneak peek of what I bring along in my carry-on purse!
I'm totally in my pajamas here, as you can see in the reflection, Winnie the Pooh too #noshame.
Pretty much the basics; My (ancient) cell phone that still works, a iPod to drown out the hum of the airplane, my wallet, sunnies for when I'm driving, rhoto eye drops, NUXE Reve de Miel Lipbalm, YSL Rouge Pur Couture in 07.
My laptop to return e-mails and watch vlogs, one theFaceShop mask that Tiffany gave me last time I went to visit her, a camera, and the necklace I am absolutely obsessed with.
I also bring along my mini-crossbody so that I don't have to carry a large bag around wherever I go.
All packed and ready to go!
I don't usually make spontaneous trips like this, but the weather outside is borderline unbearable. Plus getaways are always fun. Where is one place you guys would like to escape to?

As I sit here writing this, I am perusing other Toronto food blogs, flipping back and forth, and back and forth. The most fabulous part of Toronto is the sheer diversity of food in the city.
I personally have an obsession with DIY foods, like hotpot, kbbq, steamers etc, but it's difficult to find a good place in Winnipeg for any of the above.
It's much different in Toronto where fantastic authentic restaurants for anything are just a hop skip away.
On a cold chilly day, it was KBBQ for sure.
Best part about Korean food are the banchans. I could sit and eat these all day if you let me.
We got two different types of meat, beef ribeye and samgyupsal. Not the healthiest, but once you finish grilling you can wrap the meat up in a delicious lettuce wrap, stuffed to the brim with vegetables. Makes it practically healthy in my books.
My stomach is growling as I write this post.
Sariwon is our go to place, but this time we went to Seoul House once and Chingu the next. You can find a list of places that offer KBBQ here.
Do wear clothes that you plan on washing though, the amazing smell has a tendency to overstay it's welcome.

Baking times with the cousins.
