Yarn Bombs, Cheese and a Wedding!

I found another Yarn Bomb a while ago...just haven't had time to make any blog posts lately. I also saw a bunch of new Yarn Bombs at Waterloo Town Square, so I'll try to get some pics of those new ones soon. Every time I see a new one it makes me smile :)

Also quite a while ago now, Martin attempted to make some paneer cheese at home. It was successful for the most part, we'll just need to work on the seasoning next time as it was a bit bland tasting. Overall it was a pretty successful day though since we also made homemade pickles and I was also doing my first Daring Cooks challenge of making pierogies :)

And last but certainly not least, the wedding!

Some good friends of ours were married and of course we had an amazing time! The wedding itself was short and sweet and the reception was a blast. It was also great that the weather was nice since the ceremony was outdoors. We got to hang out with some of our best friends and I'm very happy for the Bride and Groom! Here is some of the celebrating that took place:

My hair :)

And we ended the night by getting pizza and going to Ethel's, though by this point I really couldn't drink anymore!

Now all the fun aside, I've been so busy with cooking, cleaning, reading, having fun and working that I just haven't had time to blog as much as I would like. I still have a bunch of things I need catch up on, so expect more posts this week :)

Urban Knitting/Yarn Bombing and Miso

I have just recently discovered a new type of graffiti in Waterloo: Urban Knitting or Yarn Bombing.
Here are some examples:

I actually saw the girl knitting the one in the last picture! We were coming home from Ethel's at 11pm and she was sitting there knitting it on! :) Wish I would have had my camera on me.
I'll keep my eye's peeled for new knitted stuff.

UPDATE!: Last night I found tons of new yarn bombs! I guess keeping an eye out for them really worked! I wrote this post yesterday and wanted to post it today so I went out this morning and took pictures of the new yarn bombs that I had not seen before.

The one on the tree had a tag on it that went to this site. Zilliah explains a bit about who she is and what yarn bombing is, and she has a cute blog.
I'll continue to keep my eyes open for more :)

Also, I just bought a tub of red miso and I was trying to think of ways I could use it up. Since I've been taking salads to work a lot recently I figured I should make some miso salad dressing.
This dressing is so amazingly tasty! It's spicy, sour and salty all at the same time! It really livens up salads and you could also use this as a dip for veggies! :)
