Out the window: I've mentioned before that I live in a pseudo co-op. We recently discovered a neighbourhood handyman who does great work for a decent price and he's just finished off a handful of projects in and around our building. It feels so satisfying to get all of these nagging items off of our to-do list, and now we're all ready for winter to arrive.
On the menu: Broccoli salad. Not sure that I ever want to know the calorie count for this salad, but it sure is tasty.
