Weekend Moments: home cooked food, spring foliage & a little bit of vinyl too

 I had a low key weekend this weekend. It was chilly outside - it even snowed a bit (poor little tulips!).

 I'm in complete study mode these days - with less than 2 weeks remaining before my final licensing exam as a medical resident (last formal exam I will write in my life!). So I've been focusing on trying to stay balanced... healthy home-cooked meals to feed my brain, brief yoga sessions in the mornings, and trying to still get out (even if it's just for 5 minutes) and appreciate all the spring buds that are shooting up (not to mention to walk over to Ben & Jerry's for a much needed treat!).

 Apparently Saturday was "international record store day"... and while I didn't have time to go to my favourite Montreal record store, I did listen to some great vinyl while studying the night away.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend!

    Even though studying can be a drag, isn't it kind of nice to be forced to stay home and live a quiet life for a few days? Hopefully your studying pays off!

    Also, from the looks of your food pictures, you and I have similar taste in types of food. And I'm now wishing for a panini press :)

    my dad is a record collector so I have a soft spot in my heart for vinyl. Your collection looks lovely.

    i empathize with "complete study mode." i was a madwoman in the final stages of thesis-writing last year!

    that sandwich looks mighty yummy, too. loving all that vinyl as well! one of the downsides of inter-continental moving is leaving behind fragile loves like those.
