The Big Picture

Promotional material for the play The Big Picture describes it as "the story of the Bible in under two hours. Orthodox, but creative, the story travels from creation to nation to incarnation to revelation. Devastatingly simple and breathtakingly imaginative." After sitting through this show, I would have to agree.

Val Lieske, the artistic director for Fire Exit Theatre, which brought the play to Calgary, says this about the production, "There is something very raw and authentic of the way these Bible stories are told. It's a fastmoving show and for me, it really connected the dots. I saw the Bible as not just a series of stories, but one big narrative. It's powerful to take a step back and look at the Bible as a love story. It's the story of the Creator pursuing His creation... It's all connected; one beautiful story. (quoted in the Calgary Herald, Feb 4, 2012)"

Put together by the Arts Engine, which includes the fantastic acting of Jason Hildebrand, this production is sweet and powerful, emotional, and full of humorous moments. It portrays a love story, indeed.

fried bananas

Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy!!!

Last week I had fried bananas at a Thai/Malaysian restaurant in Edmonton called Tropika.

It was so wonderfully good, that I had to try to make it myself at home.

Pictured above is my version, based on an online recipe I found (posted by Tiffany L. Brown).IJ

It was delicious and I'm definitely going to try it again soon (Valentines day, perhaps??). :D

my beautiful day

What a great day! Hanging out at Market Collective with my friend watching Transit's performance (here's a link to his I'm so Indie song, mentioning Market Collective), having a sunny winter picnic of baked bree, crackers, star fruit and hot chocolate with the hubby and now a Sherlock Holmes marathon, featuring both the 1950's version with Ronald Howard and the current Benedict Cumberbatch series!

I'm a foxy readhead.

I'm beautiful. And sometimes I need to remind myself of that. My husband certainly reminds me a lot, and that helps.

I'm sick... :(

I have a cold - I'm not a man, but I do have a cold.

And I wish my hubby was here with me.

princess thoughts

I did a post a while back about my thoughts on princesses. Came across this and had to share it.

At my wedding, we did a receiving line, and one of the hubby's college friends brought his 3 year old daughter through because she had been waiting all day to see the princess. I was flattered, but reminded of an article I read a while ago called "Choosing Priest Instead of Princess" by a woman named Laura Robinson. The article points out how princesses are proud and passive, and how their only important attribute is being pretty. I want to follow a paradigm that is better than being a princess.

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

1 Peter 2:9
