Happy Friday! Here’s what I’m loving as we head into a long (deeeep breath) weekend here in Canada:

- The insanity that was interviewing Carol Channing for the show yesterday. A lot of the funny craziness was while we were off-air with her, but the good news is the OutTV cameras were rolling the whole while, so watch for a visual take on this hot mess of a chat coming to a Thursday night soon!

- Leslie Jordan the day before.  Like the big gay sister I never had.  Giggly, vivacious, Southern, naughty … I couldn’t stop laughing.

- Kylie concert tonight!

- Feeling more in alignment with myself each day. And by this I mean dealing with situations like the person I have become, rather than the person I was. Saying ‘no’, and not worrying what the others think. Getting rid of people/places/things in my life that don’t work. Catching myself caught up in old habits of thought that no longer serve me.  All great examples of ‘alignment’.

- The forecast for a rainy autumn long weekend. Bring. It. And pass the turkey!

- Drama on the drama!  Eric ‘Victor’ Braeden is off Y&R.  He speaks to Entertainment Weekly here.  I won’t miss him, he’s one of the more one-note characters there have ever been.

- The evolution of the ongoing project I call GayGuideToronto.com.  It’s been a fun ride putting it back online since acquiring full ownership earlier this year; I’m loving the variety of voices now blogging.  We have more tricks on the way – for example can you believe we’re going to host a social media tele-class? Stay tuned!

- 100 Dreams Fever – everyone’s writing down 100 dreams they have for themselves … have you?

- Jill Allen, Brandon Williams, Mark Wigmore, Paul Bellini, Bob Willette, Kyle Whitelaw and Heroine Marks – all extra added value this week.  Thanks guys!

- This amazing onion soup recipe – I made a batch this week and it’s all gone already:

Thinly slice five or six yellow onions.  Simmer them in a pot over low heat in 6 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil for two hours.  After 15 minutes of cooking add in 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, 2 teaspoons of coarse salt.  After 2 hours of cooking, add 5 tablespoons of flour, 14 cups of beef stock.  Add vermouth or dry white wine (this week I just poured in the red) and a dash of Cognac.  Awesome cold weather soup!

Have a wonderful long weekend – or regular weekend if you’re an non-Canadian!
