Anne Waters YOW

The feast continued. Unfortunately no room for dessert. It would be a great place to go with another couple who is also into sharing plates. Recommend.

We recently traveled to Stratford Ontario and enjoyed a revisit to Elizabeth for dinner. All our visits have been terrific. They do handsomely sized sharing plates. Here is a peek of how we started. Recommend.

Amazing! I hope all of her colleagues will publicly recognize her accomplishment!

Working on my Deviled Egg game for our annual family BBQ coming up in a few weeks. I feel ready.

Somebody deposited over $72K into my bank account. I actually wondered if it could be legit! A girl can dream. Called the bank to start the ball rolling to begin an investigation. I figured someone out there would be in a panic because the deposit was last Saturday. A shit load of phone time today.

The guest room is getting a new mattress!!

Well that’s kind of interesting.

My brother’s cat is now 17. Outdoors for him is more deck time than wanderlust time now. My farm cat was also an outdoors cat and lived a good long time. It does happen.

Multi-level marketing is its own kind of evil. So many ‘nice’ people have been converted to the dark side. I sometimes wonder if they were very self focused to begin with and the concept amplifies that trait. I’m too old for it. No means no.

Pasta with pesto garnish with toasted pine nuts and grated parm and served in a white bowl.

Today I used up the fresh basil and made pesto for the pasta. I did not experience basil pesto until I was in my 20s. Then pasta with basil pesto was super popular and on many menus. Do you remember when you first tasted basil pesto? Now it’s as ubiquitous as cell phones.

You’re amazing!

From an Ottawa Citizen article by Elizabeth Payne...

One longtime Conservative supporter told Fanjoy he was voting for him because “it is the shortest route to a Conservative leadership review.”

Definitely a strategy worth considering for Conservatives in PP's riding.

In 1912 my Danish maternal grandparents were honeymooning in the USA & planned to return back home in the latter part of April. Their return tickets back to Europe were for the Titanic. But, it never arrived in North America, sinking on April 15, and so they took another ocean liner back home.

I sent you a donation today even though I'm not in your riding. You've worked hard to earn the trust of your constituents.

He that lies down with dogs can except to get fleas.

Paul Chiang has to go. It’s not a difficult decision when you stand for integrity and what that means for this ‘new’ Liberal party under Prime Minister Carney’s leadership. @liberalca.bsky.social @mark-carney.bsky.social @gmbutts.bsky.social

One Catado please

We went last year for the month of September. Just the East coast on that trip. Loved it so much!! We plan to go back to do the West coast.

6 Snowflake tuiles on a cream plate.

We're having a dinner party and I'm sure there will be hearty discussion of world events. The only snowflakes will be these tuiles for the dessert. SpeakUp StandForDemocracy

White square plate. Whole Roasted Cauliflower With Tahini And Chimichurri. Pomegranate sprinkled on top. A glass of beer beside.

The Mister and I ate a whole cauliflower for dinner. Google Whole Roasted Cauliflower With Tahini And Chimichurri. We recommend roasting at 450F at least. 40 - 45 minutes worked for us.

A white pasta plate filled with spaghetti.

The Mister made me dinner tonight since I was busy busy busy doing my homework before Danish class.

Sorry to hear it was a pain in the neck. I happened to be making a trip to the post office so went that route to verify since I don't have the app and didn't want it. Did my voting this morning once I got my email with PIN. I hope it sorts out for you.

My package has seen more of Canada than me!
Started in Prince George, BC.
Then to Richmond, BC.
Then to Etobicoke, ON.
Then overshoots the destination (Ottawa, ON) and goes to Val D'or, QC.
Turned itself around and went to Mirabel, QC. Now in Ottawa. I'm holding my breath!

How many days will this take you?

We're warming up with a fresh loaf of sourdough bread this morning. I use organic flour from Quebec.

Making quiche for dinner to use up Jarlsberg cheese, some onion bits (green, white and red), old eggs & leftover egg whites. Plus bacon from the freezer. I found oven roasted tomatoes when I went digging for the bacon. I accidentally added black pepper to my pie crust. It will be fine. All fine.

We are hooked too! Maybe 6 episodes in?

A plate of homemade Amaretti cookies.

I'm starting to use up my surplus egg whites from our pasta making weekend. Amaretti go well with espresso or just a regular up of coffee. I freeze them so they last a bit.

Pasta dough going through the pasta machine.

The Mister and I make a good kitchen team. Lasagne production underway. Thomas Keller recipe for the dough. I now have 12 egg whites looking for purpose. I have plans! What would you do with them?

A box of 9 chocolates from White Pine Chocolates on Stittsville Ontario

I thought my first Bluesky post should be super friendly. Yesterday I bought this box of chocolates for The Mister to gift him on Friday. White Pine Chocolates opened a week ago in Stittsville, Ontario. Wendy will impress you. Check her out on your socials.
