Today I took a day off from the gym, partly due to utter physical exhaustion, and partly due to the extreme hassle of getting there because of the transit strike.
It was nice to have a day to myself, except it's been so long I almost didn't know what to do.
First on the list of things I wanted to was baking, but our lack of sufficient butter meant that a trip out of the house was going to be necessary. We decided to take a walk down to the park before hand, as it's been awhile since we've been there.
Unfortunately for us wimpy Canadians, it was absolutely freezing today. We wandered through the art market on our way to the park, and quickly decided that a having hot chocolate in the cafe near the park would be much more enjoyable than actually walking through the park. And it was, especially for Erik who ordered a shot of Bailey's to go with his.
Once the butter was procured, we headed home. I started baking, and Erik set out once again on video detail. We rented Amelie and C.R.A.Z.Y., and enjoyed a cozy afternoon watching French movies and eating cookies. In bed. Cause we don't have a couch, and it's cold outside.
And now we return to our regular Sunday Night Routine, where Erik cooks, we listen to our Sunday Night Dinner playlist and drink wine. C'est la vie!

On an unrelated note, we went out for an Argentinian dinner last night to celebrate our Franceversary. I started with empanadas, Erik with grilled Boudin sausage, and we shared 650grms of Baby Beef, an absolutely delicious peice of Argentine beef grilled to perfection and served with salad and fries. We really didn't have room for dessert, but I am physically incapable of saying no to anything sweet, so we both had things featuring dulce de leche. Mine was a simple banana smothered in the stuff, and Erik's a sort of pastry with rum filling and cream cheese/whipped cream on the side. Yum.
