#fall season

Apple crisp is one of my favourites to make on a lazy weekend. It’s super easy, delicious, plus my kitchen always smells amazing! It’s one of my favourite comfort food. It’s great for breakfast or dessert too!

I miss fall baking and eating a lot of pumpkin desserts. Making apple crisp reminds of the fall season in Canada. It’s not fall here in Australia, but I still want to experience fall season even just in the kitchen.

I added  chia seeds, although it didn’t make a big difference, I’d like to think that this version is “healthier” ;) blanched and sliced almonds were a great addition to the crispness.

Autumn Impressions in China

8. 天净沙-秋思 / Autumn Thoughts

A poem by 马致远 Ma Zhiyuan (1250-1321 / 1324)

枯藤老树昏鸦

小桥流水人家
古道西风瘦马
夕阳西下
断肠人在天涯

kū téng lǎo shù hūn yā

xiǎo qiáo liú shuǐ rén jiā
gǔ dào xī fēng shòu mǎ
xī yáng xī xià
duàn cháng rén zài tiān yá

A withered vine, an aged tree, crows at dusk

a little bridge, a flowing stream, homes nearby
an ancient pathway, western wind, a scrawny horse thereon
the evening sun sets in the west and
a heart-broken man wanders at the sky’s edge

Here’s wishing you all a great autumn and much for which to be thankful for!

How often do you catch yourself digging up the past.


Thinking about how, at some stage of your life, 

someone can hold such an importance to you, 

being so close to them. 

You share such an intimacy, 

sharing your thoughts, 

ambitions and fears, feelings. 

Your life. 


And since it is just a matter of time, 

things fade away, 

everything is different 

and won’t be the same anymore. 

You just get stuck in that time. 

You hold on it, 

just for the sake of what it was, 

lying to yourself.


You just swim in that ocean of memories, 

in what is now, 

some toxic water.
