Have you ever seen something so simple and pretty? But it just so happens to be food. In lieu of Justine’s desire to go to Japan, we’ve picked out some photos of simple, beautiful and delicious Japanese food. Mouthwatering. Makes me want to stay at home and cook.

When TPW’s co founder Justine is not busy with TPW, she’s working on her craft and producing wonderful dailies. We’ll be sharing more of her work with you. What better way than to showcase her talent. Our Parisian love affair has just begun.
Last week, Wendy did something she has never done before: she caught a mouse. She’s caught flies before – very deftly, I might add, like President Obama. She trapped each fly in the palm of her paw, and then chewed on ‘em. How did she know they weren’t poison? Back to the mouse, I didn’t see it happen, but my mother found Wendy sitting in the front foyer, playing with the poor little guy. His body was still warm, and my mother thought the mouse was still alive and she tossed it out in the yard, expecting it to run away, but it didn’t. She collected it and disposed of it properly.
Most of the time, Wendy lies on the most expensive armchair, belly up, waiting for somebody to feed her. For this reason, It is easy to forget that she is a ferocious creature, full of instincts and violent impulses and anticivilization emotions. I share my living space with a beast. One time she ate a potato chip, and another time a crumble of feta cheese, but in general, all she eats is meat, and she eats it indiscriminately. Recently I read about people who have giant pet snakes and let them sleep in their beds, thinking the snakes are their best buddies, when in reality the snakes are just sizing them up, to see if they will fit in their stomachs. Is this what Wendy is doing with me?
We all have a soft spot for chocolate. And what’s better than sipping some organically farmed 70% Ecuadorian dark chocolate. Mix with milk to get a perfect cup of goodness. It’ll hit the spot. This delight will help melt away any winter blues you may have.
I’d like to be whisked away to Foppolo, Italy. Perhaps spend a quiet weekend in this charming village, surrounded by beautiful mountains and warm amber lights.
There’s a sweetness that comes with snow. Watching it drift downwards in a hurry to land on the ground. So if you’re missing out on the quiet tinkering of snow, watch Jake Davis‘ Test Shot of Tanya Romero. You’ll soon be craving for a flurry of snow to come your way.
A Sunday Mood to help you relax. Keren Ann’s Lay Your Head Down will to lull you back to sleep. Her soft voice, along with the gentle melody that washes over you, will have you playing her song over and over again. Let the world whirl by as you take time to watch from the sidelines.
It’s only befitting that this week’s Sunday Mood is a Montreal band. So let me introduce you to Sweet Sixteen by Think About Life. I discovered this band through TPW’s own intern, Erin. This isn’t their official video but it’s amusing and it will make you get up and dance around in your room. Really. No one’s watching!
