Chrismukkah !

Happy bee-lated Chrismukah everyone ! My Christmas this year was pretty shit due to a severe lack of funds, my mum being pretty ill, having to put my puppy down at the end of the week and working fourteen hours on the actual day. Boo !

There were, however, a few upsides to this Chrismukkah. One being our quasi-Christmas party at none other than the ever classy Queen's.



Some of us got naked. Or almost there.





Others just engaged in risky sexual behaviour.








Mostly it was just awesome fun and awesome friends.





Oh, and there was a family reunion.



Oh, and there was that time where we pretended we were elderly in Florida.



Even thou Christmas was mostly shit, I got a few awesome things from my parentals and brothers.







I'm really, really, terribly stoked on both of those last items.

The worst part about this week thou was my broken stove. I busted out my Fresh cookbook, whish is mostly grilled and stove-top variety stuff. This stuff was unusually healthy and light for this self-admittedly chubby vegan. Nonetheless it was delish and I've actually continued cooking out of it since my stove has been fixed.


Mango Thai Salad.


Peace n' Love Salad.


Santa Fe Salad


Cucumber and Cashew Dip. Best. Ever.


Sweet Potatoe Coconut Curry.


About to be mashed in to Guac.

Oh and I finally made these babies. I've been terribly jealous of my friend Jon's buns for a really long time. Mine have turned out horrible over and over again, but I think I've finally got it right. They were terribly, terribly good.




More important than all this garbage is the fact that my friend Dave and I will be hosting bi-weekly Marxist discussion groups in the New Year! Yay. The first one is set for January 5th and its on the recent economic crisis, looking alot at the manufacturing crisis here in Southern Ontario. Time and location are TBA. Get stoked !

More exciting than any of this other garb. is the fact that I'll be in Berlin with a whole tonne of people that I miss lots in LESS THAN TWO WEEKS. I'm going to a conference type thing for the IMT. The theme I guess is Rosa Luxembourg and Karl Liebkart (I'm really awful at spelling) and the German Revolution. I'm re-reading Rob Sewells' "From Revolution to Counter Revolution" before going, just so I don't feel like a total idiot jerk. I'm staying in Berlin for about a week after with my friend Dan and his friend Sam.I'm really really terribly excited for this.
