Japanese sticky rice [20 Jul 2009|06:42pm] ottawa [neffiline] [ mood | hungry ] I recently bought a new rice cooker and I'm craving some japanese sticky rice. I know that it's short grain, but I can't find anything in any grocery stores, big or small. I know I'm overdue to go out to our little China town, but I figured I'd ask if anyone knows any non-asian stores that carries any brands, before I head that way. Thanks so much in advance! 3 Human Smells GoodHumans Smell Wonderful | Sniff

Back to school time! [20 Jul 2009|04:39pm] ottawa [kattale] And the stores are filling up with cheap backpacks. I'm on the lookout for two (identical or co-ordinating) backpacks suitable for 7-year-old girls, with a pirate logo or theme. Something simple/cute would be better (I have a fondness for pink skull&bones with little hearts in the eyes), and I'm trying to avoid hard-core rock-and-roll metal-type skulls and roses and snakes - a little old for the pirate twins, I think. No luck so far - but if anyone sees anything, could you let me know? I've got the rest of the summer to find something to spare myself having to go with licensed Tinkerbell backpacks again. *shudder* 1 Human Smells GoodHumans Smell Wonderful | Sniff

Items for Sale [20 Jul 2009|03:14pm] ottawa [amazon_ww] Lots of stuff for sale. All clothes items are used, but in excellent condition. The dresses and suits have all been professionally cleaned. All other clothes have been washed in a regular washing machine. I am willing to drop off purchases of $20 or more to pretty much anywhere in the Ottawa area. Ok, on with the items: ( Many pictures ) 10 Human Smells GoodHumans Smell Wonderful | Sniff

Landscaping recommendations [18 Jul 2009|03:28pm] ottawa [averynovelidea] [ mood | calm ] After trying all spring to grow grass in the backyard of our new house (the builder sodded the front yard), we're considering buying sod for the backyard (roughly 3000 square feet). Does any one have any suggestions or recommendations about where to buy sod in Ottawa-Gatineau? Ideally, we'd like to hire a crew to install the sod, but that's budget-permitting. 2 Human Smells GoodHumans Smell Wonderful | Sniff
