There’s nothing creepier than waking up to that DAZN “This event has now concluded” music.

Have we fired Berube, yet?

Pretty proud of myself(small things) I managed to keep the grocery store Basil plant alive for 3 weeks! Bonus Green Onions that keep on giving #frugallife

I don’t normally get that feeling in your stomach, except when a really sharp knife shaves of a tiny bit of your finger nail (knuckles curled folks) - then I wanna puke

Find it hypocritical my Provincially owned Liquor Monopoly asks if I’d like to donate to Sick Kids Hospital of London ON. I always say no (it makes me feel bad) but the premise of an Ontario Gov’t agency fundraising because the Ontario Gov’t can’t adequately fund Healthcare seems F’d up.

New hobby Bonchi, it seemed sad to let the Chile Peppers freeze so I Bonsai’d 3 Habaneros so far 2 are sprouting new growth

Have the Leafs fired Berube yet?

I’m not completely sold on the absent minded Professor stereotype but for the second time in as many months my wife showed up home and asked where the car was? and I had to tell her she drove it to work.

Repost with an iconic fictional band

Every year a local Aviator Pete Spence does flyovers of our small town #ckont Cenotaphs in his WWII era Harvard MKII, the roar of the engine always gets me.

I get those phishing emails like “Can you take my shift?“ I feel a bit bad delete/reporting them as junk thinking what if it was legit and the person sending thinks their coworker is a complete asshole for ghosting them?

Well that concludes the Chile Pepper growing season here in the Banana Belt it’s going down to 0°C tonight and below on the weekend - last of the Habaneros

Found out the hard way, late season Asparagus ferns have some nasty thorns

I saw 1/2 loaves of Dempster’s Sandwich Bread at the grocery store today- I’m still trying to decide whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing

We moved to a rural agricultural town 20+ years ago, today I accidentally went downtown it was swamped with Halloween Golden Pumpkin trick or treaters. Best costume a small child driving a novelty John Deere Tractor, hauling a John Deere Wagon with a 50lb bag of feed bungee corded in the wagon

Not surprised the SportsNet Now servers went down last night they can’t handle the demand -they went down when the Raptors were in the Finals, they went down numerous times during the World Cup broadcasts - I unsubscribed, why would I pay for something they can’t deliver.

In bed before midnight! Well done, GoJaysGo!

Going the the World Series! GoJaysGo!

Just a PSA/note to self, high protein Greek Yoghurt curdles when you use it straight to make Stroganoff. Unlike Sour Cream and full fat Balkan Yoghurt I think you need to add some 35% Cream to help keep it from breaking.

Stopped at the Super Amigo grocery store in Chatham ON-there was a teacher and her class from Chatham Christian School they all had a list of Mexican ingredients they had to find and I think she instructed them they could get one thing that wasn’t one their list. I thought it was a pretty cool idea

Our dog hates those little novelty Drones the neighbours kids have, I think it has the same sound/frequency as Yellow Jacket Wasps, the minute she hears the Drone she bolts for the door

Frost warning in #ckont so the plants come in (again). Here’s an interesting one I got from a Trini friend Spanish Thyme/Trini Thyme he uses it for Trinidad Green Seasoning

I grew Aleppo Peppers this year -it’s the start of Chile Pepper dehydrating season they’re only supposed to be 10 000 Scoville Units so it’s kind of unusual I can’t go into the kitchen without my Sinuses burning

Temperatures starting to dip at night so it’s Chile Pepper harvest time: Shishito (for powder) 4 Types of Habanero Orange (2 plants very prolific). Red harvested 4 from one plant very hot and White harvested 3 from one plant also extremely hot. Time to freeze them for salsa until next summer.

We bought corn and garlic at a roadside stand in August, they’re Mexican Mennonite and I noticed the Chile Peppers growing in their field. So I’ve been creeping their stand weekly in hopes those Red Chiles in the field hit the stand - hey there’s that silver car again

Prepping to Vacuum freeze Sweet Corn - thought I could jam it through the Bundt Pan hole to shuck -apparently it’s too small and it seems wrong to ‘drill’ out a family hierloom

If anyone needs a great cooking resource for easily accessible Japanese Mains. Salads and Sidedishes Namiko Chen’s Just One Cookbook is awesome (I use it a lot) www.justonecookbook.com/categories/r...

It always amazes me the difference between winning the division or a wild card in MLB always cones down to a game you blew-off in May

Mount Nutmore is back - it’s a Mast Fruiting year for Walnuts, again.

Year 3 with the Tomato Mill home canning 3 Hampers made 35 L of Passata - (21 x 1L/29 x 500mL jars plus sauce for dinner) - took the better part of 2 days I think I but off more than I could chew(note to self)

Too funny, went to Vet the other day NG wants to get in, does the routine of jumping on the scale, gets her treat, then recognizes the Vet Tech falsetto voice and immediately pulls to the door and acts like she’s been tricked.

3rd in the WTF picture series - random Wilder Bench Press and plastic weights circa 80’s Consumer’s Distributing Catalogue just adjacent to the Uhaul parking lot. Guessing the owner looks a bit like Popeye the right-side was 5lbs lighter

Weird, Instagram just turned into TikTok

Secret ingredients, Abuelitas have known all along

In an effort to use up leftovers I accidentally create more leftovers

If you live in Chatham-Kent or happen to be visiting the area I can think of nothing more interesting than going to the Bucktown/Moraviantown Pow Wow, make sure to get there for the Grand Entry!

Trent Reznor/NIN put on a great show if you’re on the fence about buying tickets. It’s my 3rd concert 1995 (Bowie/NIN) with my brother & friend Piggy(RIP), 2006 with my brother and ‘baby sister’ (London ON) and 2025 with my Brother, Sister and Niece in TO - just a wall of sound, love it!

Somewhere in our travels I managed to lose 1/2 of a cloth bag Summer Sausage

Another in the WTF picture series - Roadside Spuds on Keil Dr Chatham ON #ckont. If you lost your bag of potatoes they’re just north of Mercato Fresh

Sometimes I say to myself WTF and then I have stop to take a few pictures

10 - nil that escalated quickly

Years ago we lived in Guelph ON, one of the things I miss about living there is The Bookshelf (Bookstore, Cafe, Alt Movie Theatre). Happened across a quirky Bookshelf type movie Sunlight by ventriloquist Nina Conti it’s worth a watch youtu.be/4BggSjRE8-Q?...

It’s townwide garage sale day - which means the population of our sleepy town doubles for 6h as people slowly creep up and down the side roads appraising other peoples junk from the comfort of their air conditioned SUVs.

Sodastream bottle fell out of the refrigerator, who knew the bottom was round?

You’re welcome switched to the rain cap on the BBQ and rain clouds petered out on the radar just west of us

I’m always a bit freaked out when our dog goes into a full point the minute she walks out of the house

Anyone in the market for unique Plants Tropic of Canada greenhouse just outside of Rodney ON has a 1/2 off clearance on Citrus(Limes, Lemon, Oranges), Tropical fruit(Mango, Papaya), I picked up 2 Banana trees(mostly for the leaves), Tea plant (of best intentions) & a Pineapple tropicofcanada.ca

Guess I’m not having Thai for dinner, something ate my other Thai Basil plant to the ground & started on this one. so I put chicken wire around it yesterday as a deterrent, f’n critter ate the whole patch overnight looks like it was a cage match and the Basil lost.

Why does Oat Based Chocolate make me swear?
